My favorite therapy themes for April include Flowers, Bunnies, Carrots, Bugs, and Rain. You can find a post filled with ideas for a rainy day here.

Visuals and Handouts for Neurodiversity
April is often celebrated as Autism Awareness and/or Autism Acceptance Month. I created a set of handouts to celebrate and teach Neurodiversity. You can purchase it directly here on this website or on TpT.
Free Caterpillar Craft
Grab this free Caterpillar Craft, an empty wipe container, and some paper. It takes minutes to put together and pairs great with spring themes!
Spring Printable Resources
My new Spring Articulation Game Set has been a big hit!
“I can’t believe how many pages are in here. I have every single sound in every single position. Each page has both placement cues and word position cues. Every game has a black and white companion that I can leave with Mom for carryover.” -TpT Buyer
Another cute spring book companion! You can snag this for FREE here or on Teachers Pay Teachers. It goes perfectly with Little Blue Truck’s Springtime by Alice Schertle.

Dot Art for Articulation
My students have been loving dot art for articulation practice. I’ve found that I can easily reach 100+ repetitions if we use magnetic bingo chips first, then dot markers. Last, we practice in front of a caregiver then send it home for practice. Easy peasy!
For April, you could use the “Speech is Blooming” version of the Mother’s Day dot art set. Then, use the “Mother’s Day” version for May and you’re all set for two months!

This set has every sound you need in each word position. In addition, there are placement cues and word position cues at the bottom of the page!
