One community helpers theme. SO many ways to target speech and language.
Need a community helpers unit that can actually work across your speech therapy caseload?
This Community Helpers Speech Therapy Packet includes 99 pages of themed speech and language activitiesfeaturing 12 familiar community helpers. Students can learn about each occupation individually, build vocabulary and comprehension, practice higher-level language skills, and then generalize what they have learned through mixed community helper activities.
Instead of grabbing a different activity for every goal in your group, use one familiar theme to target WH questions, vocabulary, following directions, inferencing, describing, reading comprehension, problem solving, articulation, phonological processes, fluency, pragmatic language, and more.

The real-life scenario pages help students move beyond simply naming occupations and begin thinking about when and why they may need different community helpers.

Use one community helper for a session, spend several sessions exploring the same occupation, or grab only the busy scene or companion page you need that day.
Prep the theme once. Use it across goals, groups, and language levels.
