Using Games to Target IEP Goals
December 3, 2025 (Wednesday)
Are you stuck planning the same activities for each therapy session? Children who are deaf or hard of hearing benefit from drill and repetition of skills to build automaticity and transfer skills outside of the therapy setting, but that drill work does not have to be hard or boring. Students love to play board games and card cards, and much learning can happen while doing so. This presentation will highlight a variety of skills that can be targeted while playing traditional board games and card games, including vocabulary, language, pragmatics, speech, auditory skills, and academics. Time will be spent sharing teacher and student favorites. There will also be time for participants to share their favorite games. This session will also include discussion around the pros and cons of using the same materials repeatedly. Attending this session is sure to boost student motivation in your next therapy session.
