The Ultimate Guide to High 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 or middle school and no longer require therapy services. But all too often we have students that carry over and need additional support at the high school level.
