Gems

We all need to take care of our voices. Yelling and/or Whispering can sometimes have long term effects, straining our vocal chords, causing voices to sound breathy or raspy. One way to maintain a healthy voice is use an expected voice volume.  

Our "gem" that we have enjoyed using in our speech-language sessions, to help monitor our volume in a silly visual way is "Bouncy Balls".

Play around with the settings. Change the balls to bubbles or emojis or even eyeballs. Go ahead: Have a Ball!

Another gem:

Try this "Wheel of Names" for a fun way to randomize turn taking in your game playing, or randomize question words (who, what, when, where) to use for conversation, for active reading, or active viewing.
