This week I did a guest post for my blogging friend Katie over at Playing With Words 365. Many of you email to ask how I create materials. Here’s a little bit about my process! One of my favorite parts of being a speech language pathologist is that it allows me to combine different things I love to do into one job. I love problem solving, working with people, and crafting. The way I channel those ‘crafting’ instincts into therapy are with home made therapy materials. If you follow my blog,SpeechRoomNews, you have no doubt seen these activities! They vary from remade toss-across andrepurposed Tide bottles to printable games. When Katie mentioned doing a guest post about making treatment activities I thought that would help answer some of the frequent questions I get asked! So here’s the answer to that question… “How did you make that?” The truth is…you can make great printable activities without anything fancy. Yes, those nice photo editing and graphics programs are on my wish list, but you can really do it with out them!

Went to 365 Days and read the guest post! PowerPoint – who would have guessed?! Question though…how do you get the slide you create to print 8 1/2 x 11 (or letter size). Mine keeps wanting to print the slide as is which would make it landscape. Am I doing something wrong?
You can choose Vertical instead of landscape. File. Page Set up. Then change where is says ‘Slides’
That post was so helpful! The Picasa recommendation was great – thanks for the suggestion!
