I enjoyed this course."  A.H.

"Keli gave great examples of practical activities to use in therapy to improve speech but especially to help children become readers. I have been using simple games to increase sound production opportunities and reading a book to tie in vocabulary and reading with the sounds we are working on. I Loved that she uses later developed sounds in the child's age/developmental range and sees improvement in early sounds that aren't yet acquired. I am using her four-picture picture schedule and it is working beautifully! Examples, right amount of lecture, game and book resources, apps and online resources - actually I liked the whole course!"  K.S.
