Want your kids to increase their vocabulary? KinderTown suggests using Bag Game with activities. KinderTown, one of our favorite tools for finding the best educational apps for kids, just released a new feature called “Power Packs” which we think busy parents will love. Each Power Pack is a mini teaching guide tailored to helping parents […]
I’m always looking for activities to work with my late elementary and middle schooler students on critical thinking/problem-solving and perspective taking skills. It always seems challenging to find the right material to address these concepts in a one-to-one therapy setting. Recently, I’ve been using the Social Quest App from Smarty Ears to do […]
Well to be consistent with last year, we’re submitting our nominations last minute:) With ASHA and the holidays…we got behind. However, there are so many wonderful blogs and other social media to promote and acknowledge that we didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. We were honored to receive the top 5 “new […]
