161: How to Build Your Speech Therapy Materials Library

The SLP Now Podcast

In this episode of the SLP Now Podcast, we’re going to talk about building your speech therapy materials library. And guess what… it turns out that you don’t need a ton of materials to be an effective SLP!

In fact, sometimes less is more — which is why Marisha shares her top three therapy essentials for creating a well-rounded materials library:

1. Probes for Assessment
2. Visuals and Teaching Materials
3. Therapy Units for Practice

Feeling overwhelmed by the prospect revamping your routine? Take a deep breath, and remember that you can start small — like by listening to this episode!

Marisha reminds listeners that it’s okay to take baby steps to build your materials library. Work gradually, and make meaningful progress instead of trying to fill your space with all the things you think you need, because keeping it simple can save you so much time, energy, and sanity. 🙏
