10 Great Free Informative Websites for SLPs
Get the information you need to be sure your therapy is on target with these 10 great, free informative websites for SLPs! Since the majority of my students have been functioning way below the 16th percentile, I’ve spent a lot of time researching informative sites. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite websites to help you out!
These questions were strongly considered when reviewing the websites.
- Was the information helpful for teaching students who are going to need much support and practice to be able to learn?
- Did the tips include information on helping students maintain and functionally use the skills being taught?
- Were practical life skills that were worth all the effort of learning addressed?
- Does the website include information to use with evidence-based best practices?
So, with that in mind, these sites are definitely worth visiting.
