As a technology guru, you are the go-to person when a friend is stuck in a rut with their therapy plans! You know how to engage students of ALL ages, because let's be real-- everyone loves technology!

This isn't to say that you ONLY rely on technology in your therapy room, but you value its role in engagement and the variety of ways it can be incorporated. From websites to apps, you've got the best ones bookmarked and ready to use at a moment's notice.  

You've got fun ideas for days, but the most important thing is that your students LOVE coming to speech because you know how to keep it interesting. This shows you're willing to go the extra mile to learn something new in the name of engagement... and it may even earn you the title of the "cool" SLP.

Quote to live by: "Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important." - Bill Gates


Here are some resources that may interest you as a technology guru:

  • My FREE digital Would You Rather spinners come highly requested by my students. I love using these at the end of a session to listen for carryover, sentence formulation, pragmatics, and more!
  • Have you tried digital data collection? Lesson planning? Progress monitoring? Scheduling? How about interactive digital resources? Three of my favorite sites, SLP Toolkit, SLP Now, and Swivel Scheduling offer these capabilities (and more) between the three! 
  • Let me elaborate a little more on SLP Now. I've used it with preschoolelementary, and middle school aged students. It has something for EVERY age group. Psst... if you want a discount, you can join today using the code KAYLASLP and get $10 off! 
  • Jeopardy LabsReadWorks, and EdPuzzle are some of my favorite websites to use digitally. Be sure to check them out, especially if you work with older students... but really, all ages can enjoy them!
  • I've outlined some of my favorite apps on my blog, so be sure to check them out! These are tried and true favorites.
  • Google's online suite of products has made my life so much easier. One of my favorite hacks for report writing involves a little known secret about Google Docs. Check it out here!
  • I've compiled a list of techy SLP must-haves on my Amazon page. Be sure to check out what highly recommended goodies await you and your students!
