Amazon Must Haves for Special Education

Hanging file folder organizers are a must-have for SLPs this school year! I use these to keep
attendance logs and student work organized. Each student has their own file and they can grab

it and bring it to the speech table with them when they arrive at speech. It keeps me organized
and helps the students learn responsibility. – Alinda

I love keeping a well stocked prize box. Speech students are always very motivated to earn
prizes. I use a sticker a chart that has a prize listed sporadically on it. So the students don’t get
a prize every time they come to speech, but maybe once a month. The sticker chart keeps them
motivated because they can see progress and when they will earn a prize. A prize box is
definitely a must-have for my speech room! – Alinda
