Summertime Sing-a-Long…Speech Style!

While many of you are just beginning your summer vacations, I’m still planning for the weeks of summer therapy at the outpatient hospital clinic where I work. Here in South GA, it’s hot. Really hot. I want to be outside (in the pool) enjoying summer, and so do the kids. They’ve just finished school, and just about the last place they want to be is inside doing speech therapy drills. So I’m having to be creative with my therapy to keep them excited and engaged. Enter Summertime Sing-a-Long…Speech Style!

For the month of June, we’re doing everything beach-themed. For many of my younger kiddos though, I use lots of toys and lots of music. Lots and lots of music. In keeping with the summer theme, I thought I’d show you several of my favorites right now to elicit all kinds of speech and language while celebrating summer! Click on the pictures below to see the Youtube song…and while you’e there, you may want to subscribe to several of these channels….they’re awesome!
