However, it is in everyone’s best interest to look ahead at the learning moments we can create, in order to help our students succeed – whether in person or learning online. With that in mind, we have some suggestions for online speech therapy activities based on what our very own E-Therapists use in their sessions. Our most trusted resources are easy to use and help provide that extra fun in order to make the day brighter. Our therapists not only enjoy these resources, they highly recommend them not just for therapy sessions, but for free time play.
