There is no doubt that speech therapy is a profession and it should be taken seriously. However, there are many things that we can do to make kids comfortable while they are doing their therapy.
First of all, if you have a child that has been diagnosed with autism, you need to make sure that you are taking care of the communication skills he or she needs in order to function in society. You need to take note of what they say and how they express themselves so that you can determine which kind of program is most suitable for your child.
Another thing that you need to do is find out what types of activities your child enjoys doing. This way, when you go for a session with them, you will know what kinds of activities will make them feel comfortable during their session.
There are many different kinds of free online speech therapy activities for children with autism. One example would be listening games where the therapist puts the words on a computer screen and the child has to read them aloud as quickly as possible.
Computer-based games can be used whether you’re sharing your screen in teletherapy, using a device with a student, or projecting for a group. Since there is no set-up or clean-up needed, this option is a breeze to add into sessions for some play-based reinforcement.

You can use these games as part of your therapeutic treatment plan by either combining them with existing therapy activities or saving them as stand-alone options to be used during the session.
The games can be accessed by students on their own computer at home or in the classroom, or they can access them via a device they are able to use (such as an IPAD, tablet, smartphone, Chromebook, etc.).
If you’re a teletherapist, you may have used computer-based games on your computer in your office. You may even have used a projector to project a screen in a group setting. Computer-based games are another great way to reinforce speech therapy concepts with students.
While there are plenty of free online speech therapy activities out there, from printable cards and worksheets to digital apps and games, the thing we want to focus on today is simple: computer-based games.

If you are using computer games with students (either during teletherapy or face-to-face) it’s important that you establish expectations before beginning the activity. You can do this by providing verbal instructions and modeling appropriate behavior.
