If you’re looking for gifts for a speech-language pathologist you are not alone! SLPs are a wonderful bunch but we can be hard to buy for! Here are 18 gifts that your favorite SLP might be able to use at work.
ONE:
Fresh materials that feature current topics are always needed in the speech and language office. National Geographic Kids is a great magazine that can be used for reading skills, comprehension, social group conversation starters, compare/contrast and more.
TWO::
Support of a local business that employs young adults with special needs. In central Ohio, my co-workers quit their jobs to open Pathways to Independence of Central Ohio. It’s a vocational support/coaching nonprofit. They are also using a doggy daycare to employ young adults and do on the job training. Cooper LOVES attending and I love giving my money to a good cause. Find one local to your area and purchase a gift card!
THREE::
An iPad is becoming more and more affordable now that minis exist! If you still don’t have an iPad for therapy, I highly suggest adding it to your wish list. You can get a refurbished iPad mini for about $200.
FOUR::
I’m obsessed with this new Behavior Visuals Jewelry from Lisa Streets, MS, CCC-SLP at Speech Street.It matches my stacked bracelets and gives me visuals that I can easily grab.
FIVE::
I’ve shared these before, but I can’t help but LOVE these sticky notes! Every SLP needs open mouth sticky notes.
SIX::
Does your SLP have a Pandora bracelet? How about a cute little mouth charm! This Sterling Silver Lip Charm would be perfect!
SEVEN::
Meredith over at Peachie Speechie has so much adorable SLP gear. This SLP shirt says it all. We’re the bomb.
EIGHT::
Cool office supplies. I use post-it notes for therapy all the time. I especially love unique post-it ideas! These watch ideas are so cool. Yes. I put post-it notes on this list twice. I can’t help it!
I use music all the time in speech therapy. I usually have it playing from my phone so I love to use a Bose Bluetooth Speaker to make it loud enough for all to hear.
TEN::
Spread the love this year with a You Matter t-shirt. Proceeds benefit suicide prevention.
ELEVEN::
One of my favorite toys for speech therapy is a plush campfire set. You can find similar sets on Etsy. Other handmade toys are perfect for expanding language and would be a great alternative to buying your favorite SLP another game.
TWELVE::
I can never have enough art ‘stuff’ I love grabbing these art kits that have a lot of different ideas. It generates creativity and creations! You can grab this one from Amazon or find one at a big box store.
THIRTEEN::
I love my Erin Condren life planner. I just can’t go digital with my calendar yet. I’ve used an EC for about three years now and I can’t go back!
FOURTEEN::
There is a lot of stress involved with being an SLP. What your fav SLP really wants is to sit back and work out those kinks! A gift card for some pampering is just what the doctor ordered.
FIFTEEN::
Sand Timers. I use these every single day! With many many ages!
SIXTEEN:
Sounds wave necklaces! These are so very cool! Your SLP will feel like they are back in speech sciences class!
SEVENTEEN::
The Record a Story books are developed to allow you to read a story with family members from afar but I love them as a way to record a message to your speech-language pathologists to show all your skills!
EIGHTEEN::
Time! The best things you can give an SLP is time. You can purchase a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers and print out the certificate above to send them on a shopping spree in my TpT shop!
Happy Holidays! Love, Jenna

Love these ideas! I think I might put the sound wave jewelry on my list. Just a question-what does that shirt mean? Does the popsicle have some significance?
adminSRN says
That popsicle is known as a ‘bomb pop’ which is why the phrase says The Bomb!
