"WH" questions

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can have difficulty answering 'wh' questions as well as yes/no questions. I have created two different products in order to target these goals.

The first product is a Winter "WH" questions  packet. There are who, what, when, and where questions- 20 each. I am currently using this product while we are playing another game like uno or chutes and ladders. This also works great while they are coloring a picture. Depending on the level of the individual, I will either read the card to them or have them read it to me.

This product is free in my TPT store. Here is the link: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Winter-WH-Questions-for-IDD

The next item I created was WH and Yes/No question card set for Candy Land. I saw the idea of Candy Land cards from Jenna Rayburn from Speech Room News. You can find her blog here: http://speechroomnews.blogspot.com/ and her TPT store here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jenna-Rayburn-26 She has some great ideas! Jenna is an inspiration to keep us motivated and keep therapy fun!!

The Candy Land set I created focused on very functional 'wh' questions and yes/no questions that this populations might hear at any given time.

The instructions for this product are simple- print, cut, laminate, and enjoy! :)

Here are some examples of the cards.

"TH" Go Fish and Candy Land

"TH" Go Fish and Candy Land

Several of my adult and pediatric clients are working on "TH". One of my pediatric client's parents asked me for some materials for me them to work on at home. Since I am a procrastinator and have a research paper hanging over my head, I thought it would be a perfect time to make some "TH" materials! :)

The first product I made was "TH" Go Fish cards. This deck of cards have voiced and voiceless "TH" in all word positions.

Here is the instruction sheet:

The most important thing about these instructions are making sure that the printer is set to print double sided. That ensures the front and back of the card will print correctly. If you printer doesn't automatically doesn't print double sided, you should still be able to print double sided manually.

After making sure it set to double print, print on card stock, cut, and laminate. Then enjoy! Here is an example of the front and back of the cards.

Here is the link to purchase it from my TPT store:www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/TH-Go-Fish

The other product I made was a set of cards to use with the game Candy Land. I just use these cards instead of the ones that come with the game. The cards target voiced and voiceless "TH" in all positions of words. 

The instructions are included in the packet but are very simple: print, cut, laminate, and enjoy!

Here are some examples are of the cards:

The beginning :)

I have been working with adults and pediatrics with intellectual and developmental disabilities for the last three years and have completely fallen in love with the population! One thing that I have noticed is the lack of materials geared toward this population. My hope and goal is to create and share functional materials that will help these individuals become more independent.

I struggled and struggled trying to come up with a name for this blog. While searching the internet, I read that it should be something meaningful to me. That's when I decided to incorporate the two people who have influenced my career the most. Without my high school sign language teacher, Joni West, I would not have found my love and passion for speech and language pathology. She was also a strong role model when I needed one the most. The next most influential person in my career is my boss, Kimberly White, without her, I would not have found my passion for this population. I have always felt she was a safe place to grow and learn within my field, as well as topics in life. So that is how I came up with J:K...the perfect combination. :)

I have set up a teacherspayteachers store with my materials. Here is a link to my store: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Shelley-Davis-534

 Hope you enjoy!
