About this Site

Choosing what to teach in a language therapy session can be problematic.

This site attempts to maximize the teaching decisions by providing a suggested content teaching order and supplying links to existing therapy materials.

The items listed in each grammatical category are ordered from easiest to hardest to master. Regardless of the age of the child with whom you are working, an appropriate therapy goal would be to understand the child's present level of functioning and then teach the next most difficult linguistic form the child has not mastered yet.

Grammatical categories included are listed below. Click on the category you are interested in teaching. Identify the appropriate level. Look for materials to aid you in your therapy session.

Prepositions

Pronouns

Verb Tenses

Adjectives

Adverbs

Conjunctions

Interjections
