Articulation Crafts for Speech Therapy (and Language!)
Why should you use crafts in speech therapy? Here’s some reasons:
- Crafts can be engaging for students
- Crafts keep hands busy between trials when working in small groups
- They can often be adapted to work for mixed groups
- Students can take crafts home and to show parents – and work on carry-over!
- They are cute for Speech Room bulletin boards!
Using Open-Ended Crafts for Articulation
You can use a simple, open-ended craft (like these roll-a-cutie crafts or something you find on Pinterest) to work on articulation drills. Just combine with a set of articulation cards/list and have your student practice a certain number of targets before doing the next step of the craft.
This can work out really well when you have a small group because it can keep hands busy while you work with another student!
