I saw this in a family raffle and told my husband I NEED to have it…this toy is just so great for…
- comparatives/size concepts eg. Big squirrel, smaller bunny
- plurals
- pronouns eg. Mama bunny and her son (he/she, his/hers)
- sequencing eg. First a shot, then some food

What goals would you use this for?

I promised I would post this so here we go!

Pros:
- it’s free
- gives you live visual and numerical feedback on pitch
- helps you match a tone
- saves and shares recordings
- you can set a target pitch

Cons:
- not always accurate feedback, especially if there’s background noise
- only has support for pitch, no other meaningful vocal variables (i.e., weight, size)
- gender markers… these aren’t even entirely accurate
- the new version is a little bit more of a nuisance to use

….jeez I say ‘nice’ a lot 😳😅

Very delayed but a huge thank you to for hosting me last Tuesday. It was amazing to see the incredible work that you put in to making Carleton students feel seen and supported.

P! Рука, трубочка, режь, розовый, рисуй, т.д.

I love this craft for the Russian ‘r’ but it’s also perfect for English ‘r’ clusters e.g., string, straw, draw, through, craft

I’m absolutely in love with the card sets I got from ! They have made prepping for sessions easy and my client really enjoys working with them. We pair it up with games they like and it gets a lot of practice in!

At the start of July I flew out to Edmonton to see my idol, the INCREDIBLE Linda D’Onofrio () for 3 days all about myofunctional therapy. I learned a lot and am already changing how I approach some of what I do. I absolutely love learning and am so grateful that it is such a big part of my job!

I LOVE this Melissa and Doug set. I have so many kids who love cars and these houses make it so fun to learn and sort different concepts. I’ve used it for obvious goals like pronouns (his house, she wants to go to the hospital) and prepositions (it’s on the school, in the fire station), but also for concepts like sorting comments vs questions, categorizing foods and animals, and in this case, seasons!

How do you use this toy?
