More about us here at Speech Therapist Tools:
Welcome! I am a school-based Speech-Language Pathologist and I am so grateful for all the free and low-cost speech therapist tools and speech therapist resources available to make my lessons easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
My boyfriend and I (along with our pug) created this site to share the most helpful, most useful free and low-cost speech therapist tools and resources for speech therapy.
It is also our goal to build a community in the sharing of free and low-cost resources for speech therapy, so anyone can create an account and upload their favorite speech therapist tools and resources.
We encourage everyone to vote up on the existing tools they find the most helpful, so that these tools rise to the top of our Popular Speech Therapist Tools List.
For detailed instructions on adding speech therapy tools and voting on existing speech therapy resources:
We hope that you find that Speech Therapist Tools connects you with more easy-to-use, time-saving, relevant, fun and effective speech therapy resources for your sessions and helps you in reaching your students’ goals.
Speech Therapist Resource Categories, Free & Low-Cost
The speech therapist tools are organized by goal/area of concern or type of resource. Some of the Speech Therapist Tools’ speech therapy resource categories include:
- Articulation,
- Phonological Processes,
- Phonemic/Phonological Awareness,
- Language,
- Story Retell,
- Storybooks,
- Social Communication,
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech,
- Fluency,
- Early Intervention, and
- Career.
All items are free unless otherwise noted. Tools that do cost money are included for their high level of quality and usefulness. In any event, my boyfriend wanted to include this old saying for the speech therapist resources that cost money;
“The best way to ensure something for the future is to pay for it in advance.”
I suppose the literal interpretation works too.
