Free, downloadable speech therapy material — the kind used in clinic and in class. These are not samples or previews: they are complete worksheets and documents, made to be printed and taken into a session.

There are three kinds. Assessment protocols, the most requested, which have their own category. Records for tracking a case —tongue resting position, study habits—. And worksheets: breathing, discrimination of /d/, /r/ and /l/, speech organs, pre-writing, number tracing and the emotions wheel.

Inside is the protocols category. If you are after material that is not downloadable, start with orofacial myology or with books.

What is here, and what each thing is for

  • Assessment protocols. Interdisciplinary orofacial, for children and adults, plus the snoring and OSAS screening protocol. These are structured assessment documents, not activity sheets.
  • Records. Tongue resting position and study habits. They exist to measure and compare across an intervention, which is where you actually see whether something is working.
  • Orofacial myology worksheets. Speech organs and breathing, to explain to the patient and the family what is being worked on.
  • Speech worksheets. Discrimination of /d/, /r/ and /l/, the phonemes most often confused.
  • Pre-writing and tracing. Number tracing and pre-writing material for the stage before writing begins.
  • Emotions. The emotions wheel and «Everything will be fine!», to open a conversation when naming what is happening is hard.

How to use them

A protocol is not completed in full at the first session. It works as a script so that nothing gets missed, and it is finished across two or three visits. Trying to close it in one go tires the patient and yields worse information.

A record only counts if it is repeated. One isolated measurement says nothing; three spaced out over time say whether there has been change. That is the difference between an impression and data.

Worksheets are for the patient, not the filing cabinet. The breathing and speech-organ sheets work particularly well handed to the family, because they explain at home what happens in clinic.

Do I need to register to download them?

They are published like the rest of the catalogue. If a particular resource requires a prior step, that is stated on its own page.

Can they be used in a school?

The worksheets, pre-writing and emotions material, yes, and they work well in class. Assessment protocols and clinical records are for healthcare professionals: interpreting them requires training.
