Cyber Monday TPT Sale



I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing Thanksgiving break with their family and friends. I definitely enjoyed the time off with my family. 

I'm linking up with Short and Sweet Speech and other SLPs for a TPT Cyber Sale Linky Party! I'm looking forward to checking out some great products to get me through the new year. 

Here are a few new things you can find in my store.



My game boards are also offered in a Growing Bundle. Here is what one of my buyers said about my Game Boards for Increasing Utterances Growing Bundle. 

"This is an AWEsome resource for targeting basic concepts (colors, prepositions), grammar structures (verbs, pronouns), and increasing sentence length for preschoolers and children with apraxia. I simply love it and can't wait for future editions!"


Now check out some of the fantastic products that I have found from my SLP friends!









I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Continue the hop with Short and Sweet Speech!

Smarty Ears-The Test of Articulation and Phonology (iTap) App Review

 Smarty Ears came out with an AMAZING new assessment app called The Test of Articulation and Phonology (iTap)! This app assesses and analyzes a child's speech errors in both articulation and phonology. This would be a great assessment tool for the SLP on the GO! No heavy assessment bag or protocols needed! I used this app strictly for progress monitoring. It allowed me to see the growth my student made, and what new goals needed to be added.


 
As you can see in the screenshot above, adding new students does not take a lot of time.

 
 

 
One great feature, is that all of the photos used in this app are REAL photos. There is an option to record a child's utterance to play back or assess at a later time.
 

 
When screening one of my students, I found this note section to be very helpful. It allowed me to report any additional speech distortions, dysfluencies, or atypical vocal qualities noted in my student's speech.
 

 
Once completed, a detailed report of my student's speech errors was generated to review and share/email.  Overall, I found this app to be a great progress monitoring tool to have!
 
You can read more about The Test of Articulation and Phonology (iTap) here.
