Working Story Sequencing into your Day
Once upon a time, in a school district not so far away, a sharp, efficient, and effective Speech-Language Pathologist (insert your name here) worked magic with a caseload of students, many of whom had sequencing pictures or short stories as their goals. During her many walks (that she made productive!) to pick up her students for therapy, she sometimes pondered how she could better help them with these commonly occurring goals, which would foster the development of her students’ narrative skills.
During the course of that school year, she compiled a list of internet resources, books, and apps that both she and her students enjoyed.
