Speech and Language Activities for Every Area of Communication:

Speech Sound Curriculums:

speech therapy activities
  • Articulation Curriculum: Choose this if the individual has difficulty with specific speech sounds, producing them incorrectly or with noticeable distortions. This is the best pathway for traditional sound-by-sound therapy.

  • Phonology Curriculum: Select this if the individual demonstrates consistent patterns of speech errors, such as omitting sounds at the beginning or end of words or struggling with whole categories of sounds (e.g., back sounds like /k/ and /g/). This pathway is ideal for those who need to reorganize their speech sound system.

  • Motor Speech Curriculum: Opt for this if the individual has inconsistent speech errors, struggles more with longer words, appears to have difficulty physically producing speech sounds, or sounds choppy and robotic. This pathway supports those with motor-based speech disorders, such as apraxia and dysarthria.

  • Mumbling Curriculum: If the individual speaks too quickly, too quietly, slurs their words, or can produce sounds correctly in isolation but becomes harder to understand in conversation, this curriculum focuses on speech clarity and intelligibility.

  • Cycles for Phonology Curriculum: If the individual is incredibly hard to understand and is using many different speech error patterns (or phonological processes), a Cycles Approach can improve intelligibility more quickly.

Language Curriculums:

Language Curriculums for Speech Therapy
  • Following Directions Curriculum: Choose this if the individual struggles to follow one-step or multi-step directions, becomes easily distracted when given instructions, or has trouble processing spoken information.

  • Asking and Answering Questions Curriculum: Select this if the individual has difficulty answering basic WH-questions (who, what, where, etc.), struggles to ask questions that make sense, or has trouble answering questions about something they just heard.

  • Sequencing and Retelling Curriculum: Opt for this if the individual struggles to retell events or stories in order, starts retellings in the middle without context, or leaves out key details.

  • Grammar/Syntax Curriculum: If the individual’s speech contains frequent grammar errors, sounds choppy and incomplete, or their sentences are shorter or simpler than expected for their age, this pathway helps build grammatical accuracy and complexity.

  • Language Foundations for Literacy Curriculum: Choose this if the individual struggles with early reading skills like phonological awareness, has difficulty understanding written texts, or needs support with reading fluency and comprehension.

  • Abstract Language Curriculum: Select this if the individual has difficulty understanding figurative language (idioms, sarcasm, metaphors, etc.) or struggles with making inferences.

  • Vocabulary Curriculum: Opt for this if the individual uses vague or imprecise language, has difficulty understanding new words and concepts, or struggles with remembering and using the correct words.

  • Cycles Approach to Language: Our Core Language Program is a 16-week oral language intervention that will directly teach all oral language skills from one grade level in a cyclical manner. Great for individuals who are struggling in multiple areas of language.

Social Communication Curriculums:

  • Social Awareness and Interaction Curriculum: Choose this pathway if the individual needs support in responding to others, understanding others’ perspectives, and engaging appropriately in social interactions.

  • Emotional Regulation & Self-Advocacy Curriculum: Choose this pathway if the individual struggles with communicating basic wants and needs, managing emotions, coping with social stressors, or effectively expressing their needs and boundaries.

  • Conversational Skills Curriculum: Choose this pathway if the individual needs help with initiating, maintaining, and appropriately ending conversations, as well as understanding conversational rules.

  • Abstract Language Curriculum: Choose this pathway if the individual has difficulty understanding figurative language, sarcasm, idioms, or inferencing in conversations.

  • Selective Mutism Curriculum: Choose this pathway if the individual is able to speak in some situations but experiences anxiety or difficulty speaking in specific social settings (e.g., speaks with family at home but refuses to speak at school)

Fluency Curriculums:

fluency curriculums
  • Foundations for Fluency Curriculum: Select this pathway if you want to build essential fluency skills, including breath control, emotional regulation, and natural speech flow. This pathway also includes addressing any negative emotions or reactions related to stuttering.

  • Stuttering Curriculum: Select this pathway if the individual experiences stuttering and need structured strategies to support smoother, more confident communication.

  • Cluttering Curriculum: Select this pathway if speech tends to be too fast, disorganized, or difficult to understand, and you need strategies to improve clarity and self-monitoring.

  • Word Finding/Word Retrieval Curriculum: Select this pathway if the individual struggles with finding the right words, hesitating, or frequently pausing due to word retrieval difficulties.

Functional Communication Curriculums:

Curriculum for helping children communicate their basic wants and needs - functional communication curriculum
  • Early Interactions Curriculum: Select this pathway if the child is working on basic social engagement, responding to their name, following simple directions, and participating in early social routines.

  • Analytic Language Processors (ALP) Curriculum: Select this pathway if the child learns language through individual words and phrases and needs support with using words and short phrases to communicate in a variety of situations.

  • Gestalt Language Processors (GLP) Curriculum: Select this pathway if the child learns language through echolalia, scripts, or repeating chunks of language and needs guidance in moving toward self-generated speech.

  • Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) Curriculum: Select this pathway if the child uses AAC (such as picture boards, speech-generating devices, or gestures) and needs support in developing functional and meaningful communication. Or, choose this pathway if the individual’s intelligibility is causing frustration and you’d like to provide them with alternative means of getting their message across.

Voice/Resonance Curriculums:

voice and resonance curriculums
  • Foundations of Healthy Voice Use Curriculum: Choose this pathway if you need to improve vocal hygiene, reduce strain, or develop better breath support for voice production.

  • Voice Curriculum: Choose this pathway if you need to improve vocal quality due to strain, tension, or inefficient voice use.

  • Prosody Curriculum: Choose this pathway if you need to improve pitch, volume, or rate for more natural and expressive speech.

About the Author: Carrie Clark, MA CCC-SLP

Hi, I’m Carrie! I’m a speech-language pathologist from Columbia, Missouri, USA. I’ve worked with children and teenagers of all ages in schools, preschools, and even my own private practice. I love digging through the research on speech and language topics and breaking it down into step-by-step plans for my followers.

Fun Fact: My favorite nickname given to me by a client was Scary.  He heard me say I was “Miss Carrie” but didn’t quite get the /mI/ part so he decided my name was “Scary”.  He even said it in a spooky voice to complete the vibe.  It was hilarious!  What’s your favorite name given to you by a client?
