Discover the benefits of using punch cards and reward cards as a behavior management system in speech therapy sessions. They are cost-effective, customizable, and provide a visual representation of progress toward a goal. With punch cards, clients receive punches for meeting behavior targets, leading to a reward card. This system keeps clients motivated, empowers them, and eliminates the need for tangible prizes. Get started by setting goals, explaining the process, and customizing rewards. Punch cards and reward cards are a simple yet effective way to enhance engagement and progress in therapy. Give it a try and see the positive impact it has on your clients!

The first week of speech can be overwhelming. Get organized with an SLP planner, learn about students through engaging activities, introduce yourself to parents, set up a reward system, review goals, and end with fun games like Would You Rather. Start the year off right!

The treasure box may not be the best choice for rewards. Instead, try scented rewards like lip balm, markers, and stickers. Scented lip balm, or "smellies," is a hit. Mr. Sketch scented markers and smelly stickers are also great options. Tailor your rewards to suit your students' preferences. Find these rewards on my Amazon page and add a "scent"sational touch to your rewards!

Curious about alternative rewards for preschoolers? Lip balm, or "smellies," are a hit! A small dab of scented lip balm on the back of their hand is an immediate and affordable reinforcement. Preschoolers and even older kids love it, and it saves money compared to traditional rewards. Reward their positive behavior and watch them light up with joy. Say goodbye to expensive treasure boxes and hello to the power of a simple smelly!

I made the decision to ditch the treasure box and replace it with something more meaningful for my students. I introduced a sensory box filled with beans instead. The treasure box goodies quickly lost their appeal, and I realized I needed a better reward system. That's when I discovered these amazing reward cards on Teachers Pay Teachers. They're customizable, cost-effective, and the students absolutely love them. Now, when students earn their punch cards, they can choose a reward card that offers free activities like sitting in the teacher's chair or having iPad time. It's a win-win for everyone, and I couldn't be happier with the switch.
