Discover engaging book and game pairings for sustainable therapy planning along with planning guides that target the most common speech and language skills.
You've ever been bogged down trying to find "perfect" therapy materials.
You’ve grabbed therapy materials one second before your group starts and recognized that you weren’t targeting objectives in an effective way.
Your clients benefit from routine and structure.
You dislike the act of printing, cutting, laminating, and storing on repeat.
Your methods for planning are not sustainable.
For more than 12 years as a school-based Speech-Language Pathologist, I have seen firsthand how much children benefit from great books, engaging games, and consistent routines.
Like many SLPs, I spent countless hours searching for materials, printing resources, laminating activities, and rebuilding therapy plans every year.
I wanted a better way.
I wanted therapy plans that were easy to follow, engaging for students, and sustainable for clinicians.
Spela was created to bring all of those pieces together into one organized system that helps therapists spend less time planning and more time making meaningful progress with students.
