Keeping Communication: Kids with Special Needs

The first couple weeks of school have been fabulous! My speech students have shown maturity and are eager to start their adventure with their new teachers and new friends. 
I have notices that a lot of my students struggle with carrying over their speech and language skills into all settings. What skills they are learning in the therapy room are often not being used outside of the therapy room. Teachers and Parents can help!! 
To help students with special needs, make a "What I did at Home" sheet:


 A lot of students do not seem to remember what they did over the weekend or on school-nights when they are at home. Some students may just need that extra prompt to help them talk about it. This is a fantastic visual manipulative that parents can use to increase the verbal communication skills in their child; as well as, a tool that can aid teachers and therapists to help make their child successful and productive in school.
