My First Game! Teko Land!

Welcome to Teko Land!!

Last weekend I created my very first game for Speech-Language Pathologists, teachers and parents. This game has specific focus into pragmatic language skills. I feel that it is pretty versatile (you can easily change the questions to reflect your child's age).  It may also be appropriate in problem solving and emotional regulation for our adults with right hemisphere stroke or brain injury!

Teko Land is a game to target pragmatic language skills. In Teko Land your patient’s will learn how to about 12 different emotions or personalities. The four deck options includes:
1.   Acting out the personality or emotion.
2.   Opportunity to tell about a time they experienced this emotion.
3.   Chance to think of a synonym or an antonym regarding that emotion.
4.   Create their own solution to a situation with a particular emotion.
Within each deck there are multiple questions available, pick one or all to ask your students!

Below are a three links for you to access all of the components of the game. Next time I will try to make this all on one document!

I hope you have as much fun playing the game as I had creating it! Special thanks to my friends Jenny and Alexa for reviewing the game and for their wonderful feedback!

What other types of therapy materials are you looking for?

Sharing Research: A Behind the Scenes Look

This past year has been such an exciting adventure in professional growth and development. When 2019 was nearing, I took the time to reflect on my professional aspirations. One of my goals was to start sharing my research findings from my dissertation. My dissertation chair encouraged me to submit my research to the Dysphagia Research Society (DRS) for their 2019 conference. That was goal #1. Goal #2 was submitting for an oral presentation at my annual state organization conference. I completed both applications and I was thrilled when my presentations were accepted at both conferences! My goal for this blog post is to talk about my personal experience in preparing and presenting research. The process of sharing your research can be intensive but it is truly an invaluable experience. There are two main types of presentations out there. An oral presentation which can last for a variety of times, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, or full day institutes. Then there is a poster pr...

This Week in Speech ~ Shaving Cream Fun! This week in speech we decided to get a little messy! With shaving cream, a lunchroom tray, lots of towels, and various treatment plans we were able to have a lot of fun!   My department orders these tiny shaving cream canisters. Simply spray onto a surface that can be wiped off and you are set for fun!   There are so many options that you can use this in therapy! Here are just a few ideas! Articulation – you or your student draw out target words to practice Reading sight words Spelling Visual memory – write it down, draw it out, and then wipe it off – recall later Story telling Receptive language – identifying drawings Vocabulary – Learning about the vocabulary terms of “soft” “messy” “fluffy” and “white.” Drawing/writing synonyms and antonyms. Expanding vocabulary knowledge by letting the child draw or try to explain the feature that you drew. Receptive language – following directions through d...

"Swing Thoughts"

Once upon a time, I wasn’t a Speech-Language Pathologist. Crazy right? My identify for so many years, has been that I am an SLP. But yes, before I went into the field I was actually a golfer. That was my identify for the majority of my life. My dad, Charlie Mahon, is a Class A PGA Golf Professional. My older brother, Charlie Mahon Jr., ran golf courses for most of his career and played for UMKC in college. My older sister, Courtney Mahon, she is now an LPGA Teaching Instructor and played for the University of Arkansas in college. My mom, our biggest cheerleader! I guess you can say I was born into a golfing family and it appeared that golf would be my destiny. I played golf throughout high school and then moved onto earning a scholarship to play for Missouri State University. I learned so many life lessons from playing golf. I learned how to be patient with myself and patient with others. I learned about ethics, being a good teammate, and how to work incredibly hard. I lea...
