Welcome to the Speech Therapy page for Saccarappa School!
We are using this Website to list resources for caregivers to access therapy materials and ideas during REMOTE times. If speech therapy is not accessible you can use these resources to assist with your child's goals. For example: if your child is home from school these resources can be used during this time. As we find useful links for websites we will list them here.
Here is the address: https://sites.google.com/westbrookschools.org/saccarappatherapyresources/speech-therapy?authuser=0
Remember, none of these tasks are required, they are simply an option to access more therapy information during times outside of Saccarappa. If you don't see what you need here, we will attempt to find you the information. We have tried to find videos of every speech sound, language tasks, fluency, and social pragmatics activities. You will find each listed below by therapy goal.
Thank you, Mrs. Benson

Language
Language
Language therapy is a very broad label for many types of therapies that a speech-language pathologist (SLP or speech therapist) can provide for children. This can include listening skills, grammar, vocabulary skills and asking and answering questions.
Speech Sounds
Speech Sounds
Speech sound production is a complex process that involves precise planning, coordination, and movement of different articulators (such as the jaw, lips, teeth, tongue, palate, cheeks, and “voice box”). Correct articulation produces clear speech.
Social Pragmatics / rules
Social Pragmatics / rules
Social Pragmatics skills are the part of communication that make it effective. Effective communication involves a number of important and intersecting skills. Some students may struggle to communicate because they experience difficulties remembering and learning from previous experiences, maintaining the topic of discussion, easily shifting and modulating reactions to peers, attending to the visual information presented during social discourse, and interpreting the nonverbal cues and body language. These skills are called Social Pragmatics.
Stuttering
Stuttering
Fluency or stuttering is a speech disorder that involves frequent and significant problems with normal flow of speech. People who stutter know what they want to say, but have difficulty saying it. For example, they may repeat or prolong a word, a syllable, or a consonant or vowel sound. Or they may pause during speech because they've reached a problematic word or sound.
