Hello all! I would like to clear up some questions about the two speech therapy programs I recently reviewed.
Review: Straight Talk homeschooling speech therapy!
Review: Super Star Speech, speech therapy made simple
First I want you to know that both of these products are good programs. I like them both. They are similar yet there are some clear differences that might make your choice easier.
perks: priced low
good for articulations issues
clearing testing and therapy plan
cons: focused on articulations issues only
perks: is written from a Christian standpoint
has a DVD to show you how to teach it (has to be bought separately or in a combo pack)
covers a broad spectrum of speech issues
has lots of articles and tips to help you homeschool your speech delayed child
teaches receptive as well as expressive language
con: is written from a strong Christian standpoint, for some this may be an issue
is a bit pricey
In the end both are great programs that their authors put lots of thought and expertise into. If you are only focusing on articulation and don’t need any assistance, such as a DVD you will most likely have a great time with Super Star. If you are dealing with a larger speech delay or would like some extra assistance such as articles from homeschooling parents, DVD you would most likely do well with Straight Talk.
Do you know of any for pragmatic speech therapy/social use of language? Thanks!
