10 Free Resources to Help Parents Facilitate Speech and Language at Home

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I feel that a good portion of my job is parent education and helping parents find fun and functional ways to work on the carryover of skills and facilitate speech and language skills at home. When I first started as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I typically assigned extra “homework” to my students that consisted of printed-out pages for drill work. Like many of us do, I learned the hard way that going the “homework” route may help some families but it does not help the majority of my families because time is valuable. Family time is even more valuable. What kind of memory would you prefer a child to walk away with – working on handouts and drills or spending time reading books, playing games, and cooking in the kitchen with their parent?

Check out these ten free resources that I found to help parents facilitate speech and language at home. Although there are 10 links below to downloadable resources, some of the links actually include more than one resource! Jackpot!

  • Speech and Language Handouts for Parents by Primary Punch – This download contains 25 different handouts! Seriously! It has 25 different handouts to help educate parents on ways they can help their child with articulation, fluency, language, topic maintenance, core words, and so much more!
  • Speech Practice on the Go by A Perfect Blend – This handout provides suggestions for different language goals that can be targeted while in the car.
  • Selective Mutism Parent/Teacher Handout by Speak Up Speech – This handout was created to give a general understanding of how to interact with our students with Selective Mutism.
  • Pediatric Feeding Handout by Jenny’s Feeding Gear – This freebie provides information on tips and suggestions that parents can make feeding time fun.
  • Parent Handout for Toddlers and Early Intervention by a Gift of Gab – This freebie contains strategies and techniques that parents can use to encourage language at home. Information is provided in both English and Spanish.
  • Language Through Everyday Interactions by Speech and Language Family Education – This handout provides quick and easy ways that parents can create a language-enriched home. Information is provided in both English and Spanish.

Speech Therapy Guide for Teachers and Parents

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

Speech Therapy Guide for Teachers and Parents

FREE DOWNLOAD

How to provide clarity by giving teachers and parents a handout that gets everyone on the same page.

Parents and teachers spend more time with the children on your caseload than you do. how much do they know about the communication disorder you’re treating.

You create IEPs and treatment plans, but those documents usually don’t deliver information that’s easily accessible to teachers and parents. Even when we make an intentional effort not to use technical language, we often end up focusing on a snapshot of the child rather than the big picture.

IEP goals and treatment plans are supposed to be specific. They’re designed to be measurable. They don’t typically do a great job of  explaining the child’s disorder to teachers and parents, however, and they don’t tell teachers and parents what they can do to help the child.

That’s where a speech therapy guide comes in handy.

Look at the big picture.

A speech therapy guide that covers a “big picture” of the common disorders helps teachers and parents understand what they experience when they interact with the child. Often the people that spend the most time with the child notice things we don’t. For example, a child that stutters might have triggers at home that you don’t see in therapy.

A handout (combined with a conversation) is also a great way to emphasize the consistent understanding, practice, and encouragement a child needs throughout the day in order to make progress toward speech therapy goals. You can list some specific things for each disorder that parents and teachers can do, and highlight the importance of home practice. Speaking of which, if your homework strategy could use a bit of a makeover,  read this post about speech therapy homework. 

While you’re at it, it doesn’t hurt to use the guide as a way to address common questions you encounter. For example, I provide some brief info about what an SLP does, the process of carryover, why kids making progress might still demonstrate speech errors in conversation, and the role of games in speech therapy. One thing I don’t include on the handout is a list of specific products, such as speech therapy websites and apps , because I like to make individual recommendations to ensure a product is a good fit for a child. 

Keep it simple.

With so much paperwork to sign and send home at IEP meetings, it makes sense to adopt a “less is more” attitude when it comes to handouts. You can always send home parent newsletters to direct people to specific organizations and materials later. Printing on both sides of the page is a great way to go here.

Here’s a guide you can download for free and use.

Top 5 Parent Handouts for {Preschool} SLPs

08/23/2015 by Jenna 13 Comments

Part of my role at our district early childhood center is to complete incoming evaluations for children entering the program. We have about half of our students come from the state birth to three program (Help Me Grow) and half community referrals.

Top5ParentHandoutsforSLPs

I get to work with new families each week and sometimes I’m the very first speech-language pathologist they have worked with or met. Other times, they’re experienced with the intervention crowd and I’m just teaching them how school-based services are different from the previous programming options. No matter the experience level, I’m spending time explaining many different aspects of our job. Evaluation team meetings are very overwhelming and I know that a parent can’t absorb all the information given to them in a meeting so I’ve spent the summer rewriting and organizing my parent handouts. I wanted to share my top 5 handouts!

Preschool Handouts for SLPs

I have them organized into an expanding file folder labeled by the type of handout so that I can easily find them.

Expanding File Folder for organizing Parent Hanouts

I just take the entire packet into meetings and then decide which ones might be appropriate.

Parent Handouts

Ok, let’s get to it! My top 5!

5. Talking Through Tech:: Apps for Early Communicators

Talking Through Tech App Handouts

This set of parent handouts is developed for parents of children who are 2-6 years old.  The handouts focus on language skills but also include literacy and speech targets as well. It explains appropriate targets for each app and how to elicit those skills. The handouts encourage time spent on tablets to be interactive. Each handout explains 2-4 ideas for developing and expanding language skills specific to that app. Time spend with technology is happening in EVERY child’s home. Use these handouts to help teach parents to make that time productive! There are 16 handouts (8 free apps and 8 paid apps) plus a Tot & Tech Handout. Each handout is included in both color and black and white.

4.  Seven Parent Tips for Stuttering  by the Stuttering Foundation

Stuttering Handout for Parents

I love this handout before it has explicit ideas for parents and it covers a difficult topic!

3. Preschool Evaluation Forms

Parent Handouts for Preschool Evals

This packet includes four of my most used handouts (in addition to other eval forms). The Speech in Preschoolers handout includes a quick definition of the difference between apraxia, articulation, and phonology disorders. It also lists the age expectations for phonological processes. The Language in Preschoolers handout includes a blurb to explain expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language. An additional page is included to explain 10 different phonological processes. The last page included in the packet features two visuals that I use a lot in evaluation meetings. The bell curve chart includes stick figures to help parents understand where their child falls compared to peers. This visual representation was developed based on the graphic shared from Pacific Coast Speech (pacificcoastspeech.com). The articulation therapy model explains the process of sound instruction from isolation to conversation.

LOVE these hand outs, I gave out the Summer play hand outs this year! A question/concern I hear a lot is that their children are not able to tell them about their day at school. 1 idea I had was using the Homeroom app so that the kiddos have a picture to refer to when they get home. Any other ideas or resources?

Thank you for posting these! I just recently discovered your site and have been exploring it all night! I am a Speech Path for a preschool in northeastern Ohio. I am fairly new to the field, as this is only my third year. So I am always looking for resources for my kiddos and their families! 🙂

speech therapy handouts for parents

This skill involves that a child knows an object exists even when it is out of the child's view. It also relates to the actions a child can place on objects, and spatial relations. Examples: searching for a ball under a sofa, playing hide-and-go seek, waiting for Dad to come home from work, knowing that objects can fall, following the movement of toys, pushing, pulling and moving toys in varied ways. This skill involves the child's awareness that they are one of many objects in the environment, and that their actions cause effects on other objects. Examples: pressing a button will turn a light on, shaking a toy will result in a sound. This skill involves the child understanding that a certain word, action or behavior will result in a desired outcome. Examples: saying "cookie" to receive a "cookie." This skill involves the child imitating gestures, actions, sounds, facial expressions and movements. Play behaviors are a very important part of language development. "Pretend Play" or "Symbolic Play" are especially important as the child uses one object to represent another. Examples: using a spoon as a phone receiver and "pretending" to talk on the phone, pretending to sweep the floor, playing house, pretend cooking, etc.
