Hands-On Activities

ONLINE GAMES: ABCYA - MAKE A CUPCKAKE!

This game is something my students always get excited for and can be played during teletherapy and in-person therapy sessions. Students make a cupcake by choosing what kind of cupcake, icing, and decorations they want on their cupcakes. You can target any speech or language target and elicit as many trials as you want per turn / cupcake piece!
