Spatial Directions: Cinco de Mayo

Here are some positional directions with a Cinco de Mayo theme.  I don't know about the rest of the country but this is big here in Texas.  I especially love it because my husband is half Mexican and we got married in Mexico!  Of course, I'd rather celebrate with a margarita than with a Cinco de Mayo worksheet... but hopefully my clients will think this is fun!

Articulation: "S" in Sentences Flash Cards

Here are 24 flash cards loaded with the /s/ phoneme in the word initial, medial, and final position. There are two "s" words in each sentence.

Spatial Concepts: Left & Right Flash Cards

I'm working on left and right with one of my clients.  Here are 24 flash cards that we will pair with a fun game like Pop-Up Pirate!

Articulation: Vocalic R in Sentences Flash Cards

These flash cards each contain two words with a vocalic /r/ phoneme.  Included are 8 cards for each type of vocalic r sound: ar, air, er, ear, ire, or.

There are 48 flash cards in this set, which means 96 words with vocalic /r/!

Spatial Directions: Earth Day

Just realized tomorrow is Earth Day!  Here are some of my world famous spatial or positional directions involving above, below, beside, and next to.

Spatial Concepts: Questions about Object Locations 2

This is similar to a worksheet I posted last week, which addressed over, under, and beside.  This one addresses behind and in front of, which I think are more difficult.  These require the student to take the perspective of the girl, for example, in order to determine what object is in front of her versus behind her.  In other words, the correct answer depends on which way she is facing.  This is difficult especially for children with autism, who often have trouble with perspective taking skills.

This worksheet has two pages for a total of 12 positional questions.

Articulation: "Ch" in Sentences Flash Cards

Here are some articulation flash cards addressing the "ch" sound in sentences.  Included are 24 cards (8 initial, 8 medial, and 8 final).  Each sentence is loaded with two words with the "ch" sound.

Articulation: Initial /m/ CVC Flash Cards

Here are some more bilabial CVC flash cards starting with the /m/ sound.  To work on longer utterances with a carrier phrase, try "Give me the ______."

Articulation: Initial /p/ CVC Flash Cards

Here are some more bilabial flash cards, this time with the /p/ phoneme in CVC words.  To use in a carrier phrase (for more advanced practice), try "I pick the ______."

Articulation: "Sh" in Sentences Flash Cards

Here are some sentences loaded with the "sh" sound in the word initial, medial, and final position.  Each sentence contains two words containing the target sound.  There are 24 cards total (8 in each position).

Articulation: Initial /b/ CVC Flash Cards

Here are some more flash cards with CVC sounds (note that this does not mean they are spelled with CVC letters)!  For kids with childhood apraxia of speech, imitating bilabial sounds is a good place to start because they are highly visual sounds since you can clearly see lip closure.

Spatial Concepts: Questions about Object Locations 1

I made this worksheet to work on answering questions about which item is under, over, or beside another object.  There are 3 pages for a total of 18 questions.  Love working on those positional concepts!!!

Articulation: Initial /f/ CVC Flash Cards

These flash cards contain /f/ + a vowel + a consonant.  To use these in longer utterances, try using a carrier phrase such as "I found the feet."

Articulation: Initial /l/ CVC Flash Cards

I can't find the /l/ Kaufman Speech Praxis cards at work... and I use them every day with one of my clients!  I suspect she threw them away when I wasn't looking, so I decided to make some of my own.  These 14 cards are the same size as the cards she is used to.

When we start working on phrases/sentences, I may have her use the carrier phrase "I like the..." as in "I like the light.  I like the lake."

Articulation: Silly Sentences with S Blends

More silly sentences for articulation practice!  These sentences address /s/ blends in the word initial position at the sentence level.  Included are sk, sm, sn, sp, st, and sw blends.


Pragmatics: Topic Identification and Maintenance

One of my older clients with high functioning autism is working on identifying the topic of a conversation and contributing an appropriate response to the conversation.  This worksheet contains 6 scenarios where two people are already talking, and the client has to identify the topic from a choice of 3 and generate an appropriate response.
