With schools and clinics closed due to the Coronavirus, many kiddos are not receiving their usual speech therapy. I have compiled a list of resources that I use and resources shared by other speech therapists that you can use at home with your child, including apps, websites and books. The list is very long because I wanted you to have all the resources you might need.
Go to my blog to check out these resources. I would love to help you figure out the right resource for you to work with your child at home. I also will be providing teletherapy for my clients. So please contact me if you have any questions or if you are interested in teletherapy!
