Inexpensive Activities on a Budget: The Budget SLP

As a student it is difficult to stock up on therapy activities that require purchasing, because typically you are on a budget.  When I came across the website BudgetSLP I immediately thought this would be a great site to share.  Inexpensive resources can be just as beneficial as expensive resources especially when you are on a budget.

Diana stated, “I was always looking for low-cost therapy materials: I made my own games, articulation cards and most other therapy materials. This involved actual drawing, coloring, cutting (with scissors) and pasting (with glue) to create these materials.”  I read Diana’s about me section and it reminded me  of when I first started in the field and I am sure you all may be able to relate.

Below are some of the categories that Diana has on her blog:

Therapy Thoughts and Essentials

Language and Thematic

Articulation, Phonology, and Phonemic Awareness

Ipads and Apps

Assistive Technology

Six Weeks of Summer Activities

Resources to Pass to Parents

My Webpage

Blogs I Follow

Some of my favorite posts on this website are:
-Tuesday's Treasure Box: Three Links to Freebies
-Speech Homework: 25 Alternatives to Speech Folders 
-Free E-Books
-Six Weeks of Interactive Speech and Language Practice Activities (Apps Included!)

Special Thanks to Diana to creating a great resource that provides inexpensive activities.
