The Best Activity to Target Every Goal on Your Caseload
We've all been there: after 280173 iterations of your therapy schedule, you still have a lot of mixed groups.

In the case of most interactive books for speech, this involves pieces that the student can attach to various parts of the book to answer questions or interact with the story.
