Feedback from SLP’s like you:
“The stories and pictures are all clear and engaging. I have found the stories so beneficial and they have great ‘reminders’ to use with the parents too. After going through the story with children we refer to it in future sessions as a prompt/reminder.”
“My students loved the book that came along with this resource! It made teaching the concept of stopping so easy for them to understand.”
“Very practical and helps to actually “teach” the students with phonological disorders!”
“This is a huge packet of tons of activities that I’ve been able to do with my phono kids in speech sessions that has provided tons of fun, engaging activities, and clear visuals.”
