Swampy sensory bin! Just dried parsley and water. Great for reinforcing speech or reading repetitions of words! #teachertwitter #apraxia #edutwitter #halloween #Halloween2022 #sensory

@JennyS727 Congrats! My son is 4 and has been getting speech therapy for a year and a half. I’m so happy to hear your child is doing so well!

@unspeakunschool My son has apraxia as well. He’s 4 years old. Have you found that writing and drawing are delayed in your child’s experience? Just wanting to learn more about other skills that may need help.

The most important part of reading instruction is instilling a love of reading and motivation to learn. #teachertwitter #edutwitter #apraxia #speechdelay #Reading

Planning on reading this today! What books are you reading your students? #teachertwitter #Halloween #Halloween2022 #TrickorTreat #apraxia #edutwitter #learning #reading

@flyingmonkey13 Field parent complaints and consider legitimacy before letting additional pressure pour down to teachers.

Teachers, What is one thing your principal has done or you wish they would do to make your life easier? I’m looking to be better.

Many with apraxia of speech have reading difficulties. 📖 Start with these concepts: ✅Letter identification 🎧Letter sounds 🔤Letter sound correspondence 🔍Modeling decoding 🤲Modeling segmenting & blending #teachertwitter #apraxia #reading #learninganddevelopment

I absolutely love this tool for recommending interesting reads to students! Great idea 👍

@anafabrega11 Yes! So much brain functioning and motor planning require movement! Just listened to a great podcast on movement and learning speech/language. overcast.fm/+2eCpfuAWY

Why, then, do we insist on constraining their movements in the classroom? The place where they spend the majority of their time and childhood years? Kids are not meant to be sitting still for long periods of time….yet we demand this in schools all over the world.

Spooky spiders preschool themed class today! 🕸️ I loved the outcomes: -Increased curiosity -Encouraged engagement -New vocabulary -STEM -Socialization -Fine/Gross motor practice #teachertwitter #TEACHers #apraxia #SpeechTherapy #STEM #learning #education #edutwitter

@mraspinall So true! Curiosity propels learning forward. As long as there is a desire to learn, there will be success.

I try to remember that the secret of all learning is patience and that being curious is sometimes more powerful than being educated.
