This week we are going to be discussing Boom Cards and how to assign them to your students. Whether you work face to face, via teletherapy or distance learning. In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis and all of the recent school closures, be sure to familiarize yourself with ASHA’s position and the most recent information (as of Friday, March 19th at 11:00 a.m – check back regularly for new updates) www.asha.org/About/Coronavirus-Updates.
As we all enter into uncharted territory be sure to take care of yourselves and your families first and foremost! We will get through this together and supporting one another is what we do best as SLPs and educators.
Boom Cards are an excellent way to continue your therapy and instruction remotely. If you have never heard of Boom Cards, take a moment to read a few of my previous posts. I have several that explain exactly what they are and how to use them during your teletherapy sessions:
