The Ultimate Guide to Middle School Speech Therapy Activities provides Speech Language Pathologists a reference point for easily locating educational resources for older students.
Many children are able to master their speech goals in elementary school and no longer require therapy services. But all too often we have students that carry over and need additional support at middle or junior high school level.
It’s no secret that most of these kiddos would rather disappear into their seats rather than be called from class to go to speech therapy. So how do we as SLPs get them motivated enough to keep them excited and working towards their language goals?
We understand your struggle! It can be a nightmare trying to find engaging speech therapy resources for the “big kids”!
