Welcome to their Halloween Special! Deb and Maria drank a 2017 Dove Hunt Dog Riesling and paired it with Cheddar cheese. The Riesling is fruity and dry, it contains hints of green apple, lemon and ginger. The wine is from Scout & Cellar which is made from grapes without pesticides, no added chemicals or added sugar. There is a 10% discount for SLPs if they email mjewing@vernizon.net and write "SLP Wine Discount" in the subject title. That's 10% off already on top of 5% off for 6 bottles and 10% off 12 bottles. Deb and Maria both voted "drink it" for this delicious and healthy vegan wine.


They introduced a new segment called "This week in life/ This week in speech" where both Maria's and Deb's friends got engaged, yay! In speech, Maria has been working with the classroom teachers and sequencing stories and activities. Deb has been writing stories about Halloween characters to target literacy and inferencing/predicting. Next, they then played Halloween movie trivia, where Maria failed miserably with a 60% out of 100%.


At their halfway point they reminded listeners to follow them on Instagram @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod and check out their Patreon page! www.patreon.com/slpswineandcheese Also, make sure to visit us at Table 872 at ASHA Convention.


They then went on to review how to incorporate Halloween in speech therapy sessions to work on: receptive language, expressive language, articulation, social skills and literacy activities. Maria suggested working on initiating questions with topics related to Halloween such as "what's your favorite type of candy?". She also talked about a sequencing activity such as "how to get a lot of candy on Halloween". Deb shared her idea of using a Pun-kin and having the students say, listen to and interpret jokes. This week for Freebie Friday they will share their favorite Halloween printables to use.


Together they shared their Tips and Tricks, where Deb recommended using a microphone in speech therapy. Maria recommended having the clients use role-playing scenarios in preparation for Halloween. They ended their episode with a quote from the witches of William Shakespeare's MacBeth "double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble." They interpreted this to me that eventually your mistakes will catch up to you. Essentially they stated it's okay to make up mistakes and own up to them. Happy Halloween!
