The articulation tools I reach for most:
• Mini objects to keep practice hands‑on and highly engaging
• Bjorem Speech Cards for familiar vocabulary that helps kids feel confident
• A mouth model to visually teach tongue placement for challenging sounds

The right tools make all the difference in helping kids build clear, confident speech.

Articulation therapy isn’t just repeating sounds.

It’s teaching children how to hear, see, and feel the sound they’re learning.

In articulation therapy, we work on:
💜Understanding what the correct sound should sound like
💜 Learning where the articulators go (tongue, teeth, lips, and airflow)
💜 Practicing how to produce the sound correctly in isolation

From there, we build skills step-by-step:
1. Sounds in isolation
2. Sounds in syllables
3. Sounds in words
4. Sounds in phrases
5. Sounds in sentences
6. Sounds in conversation

We also focus on:
💜 Auditory discrimination – helping children hear the difference between correct and incorrect sounds
💜 Motor planning – teaching the mouth how to move in the right way
💜 Carryover – using the sound correctly in everyday speech, not just in therapy

The goal isn’t just to say the sound correctly in a drill — it’s to help children confidently use their sounds in real conversations at home, at school, and with friends.

Speech therapy is about building awareness, skills, and confidence so children can communicate clearly and effectively.

These are a few of my favorite summer therapy tools, simple, engaging, and perfect for building speech + language skills through play.

Play boards are great for targeting so many different skills are an absolute favorite. This ocean themed board is perfect for summer speech.

Critter Clinic is a favorite of all kids! Not only is it great for pretend play and hiding speech sounds, it works fine motor skills too! .dee.slp has the cutest themed designs for it!

Cariboo is another great one for hiding things plus the pictures had for extra sound or vocabulary practice.

Bjorem Speech Cards can be used with so many items including Shark Bite.

Greedy Granny is a fun pop up game that children love! Combining it with mini objects makes it a fun speech therapy activity.

Sensory bins are always a win! Even more fun when we can go fishing in the bin!

Mini objects are always a must! They are used to target any and all goals and who so fun!

Did you know that children can experience summer regression in their speech and language skills? Just like we might forget a little of what we learned in school over the summer, speech and language skills can lose progress if they aren’t practiced regularly.

Here’s why summer speech therapy matters:
✅ Maintains the progress your child worked hard for during the school year
✅ Prevents regression in articulation, language, and social communication skills
✅ Provides individualized practice in a fun, low-pressure setting
✅ Sets your child up for a successful start in the next school year

Even a few short, targeted sessions over the summer can make a big difference. Whether it’s practicing tricky sounds, building vocabulary, or supporting conversational skills, summer speech helps children stay on track and confident.

Spots are limited! Reach out to discuss keeping your child’s communication skills growing all summer long.

There’s just something special about summer speech.

No rushing from school.
No busy school or after school schedules.
No end-of-year burnout.

Just time.

Time to slow down.
Time to learn and play.
Time to really focus on communication growth.

I love that summer sessions feel lighter with more play, more laughter, more confidence building.

And behind all the fun?
Intentional goals.
Meaningful progress.
Skills that carry into the school year.

Summer gives kids the space to grow and I get the privilege of watching that confidence bloom.

This is why I love what I do. 💜

Not all speech concerns are obvious. 💬

Sometimes it’s not that a child can’t talk, it’s that communication feels hard.

If your child gets frustrated when speaking, avoids talking in groups, struggles to be understood, or has teachers expressing concerns… summer is the perfect time to give them extra support. ☀️

Without the pressure of homework and busy school schedules, we can focus on building clarity, confidence, and strong communication skills before fall. 🍎

Early support makes a big difference — and summer gives us the space to grow. 🌱

I’m happy to help. 💛

I’m now booking June + July sessions for articulation, language, and school‑readiness support. I only take a small number of families each summer so each child gets my full attention.

What a summer speech session looks like!

Hint: It doesn’t look like worksheets. 😉
It is all about meeting the child where they are and practicing through play.
💜 We start with connection!
💜Then we dive into play-based therapy (games, crafts, movement, themed activities).
💜Goals are embedded naturally (articulation, language, social skills) all targeted in ways that feel FUN.
💜Lots of repetition… but kids don’t even realize they’re practicing.
💜A relaxed environment = more confidence and more talking.

Summer speech is structured.
It’s intentional.
It’s evidence-based.

But to your child?
It feels like a day of play! 💜
