YouTube Videos for Valentine’s Day: Speech Therapy and Tele-Speech

Incorporating holidays in speech and language therapy is not only a great way of introducing children to traditions of holidays but it also helps children with language.

Every holiday brings a new set of vocabulary that children are exposed to and including these in speech therapy makes complete sense as holidays are part of children’s lives and moreover they bring them joy - just like Valentine’s Day.

The below list of YouTube videos targets Valentine’s Day and can be incorporated into different language goals such as storytelling, sentence structure, sequencing, describing, etc. Kids get to listen to read aloud stories about love and Valentines’s Day; take a virtual trip to the chocolate factory, learn how to arrange red roses in the vase, and listen to the interview of children answering questions about Valentin’s Day.

If you provide tele-speech therapy aka as telepractice and use, TheraPlatform, as your video conferencing and practice management platform, you can copy and paste a title of each video to TheraPlatform and save them under “Videos”. You can then watch them simultaneously with your clients during your live online session.
