Areas of Speech Pathology – Speech Therapy SLP Handouts for Teachers and Parents

Description

What does an SLP do? These speech therapy handouts for SLPs describe the many different areas of speech language pathology with which we work. Designed to share with teachers and/or parents, you can now easily share information about language, speech, pragmatics, executive function, and other areas.

Perfect for awareness, screenings, and explaining goals, these speech therapy handouts highlight 13 different areas of speech language pathology in a way that is easily understood by families or other non-SLPs. These are designed with both school-based and private-practice SLPs in mind. Finally, you can answer the question, “What does an SLP do?”

Each handout comes in both a color and black and white version.

Each of the 13 handouts includes:

1. A section that explains what the area of speech-language pathology is and means, as well as the role an SLP might play in its diagnosis or treatment.

2. Simple strategies for families to teachers to use at home or in the classrooms to facilitate related skills.

3. Relevant information specific to the area such as early vs. younger skills or goals, information about the link with speech sounds, or caveats about its treatment in the schools.

4. An editable space for you to enter your contact information that will auto-populate across all of the pages.

What buyers are saying about these speech therapy handouts for SLPs:

• “I love these handouts! I used them to decorate a bulletin board in my office and have had multiple comments saying, “I didn’t know you did THAT?!” I have plans to also post them at the multiple schools where I work to expand knowledge of SLP supports in my school buildings.”

• “These are so handy and beautiful – I would honestly hang these up in my speech room (if I had more room!). I love having these available for teachers, admin, parents, and anyone else that may not be sure what we evaluate in speech. They are educational in a friendly way and can help create more understanding of our profession. Thanks!”
