Run Play Based Speech Therapy Sessions that actually work!
What if you could minimize your prep time, streamline your therapy, and easily create meaningful and motivating speech therapy sessions for your students?
The Ultimate Play Based Speech Therapy Course is a comprehensive, step-by-step training designed to show you how to actually use play in your sessions.
Because most of us were told to “use play”… but never really shown what that looks like in real life.
Inside, you’ll learn how to use Play Based Therapy with children of all ages, turn everyday materials into effective therapy tools, and build real connection through interaction.
Created by pediatric SLPs Anna and Kiersten, this course walks you through everything you need to feel confident bringing play into your therapy room.
“Use play in your sessions” sounds easy in theory.
But in the middle of a session, it’s not always clear what that actually means.
You’ve got the toys out.
You've got a plan.
But you’re still wondering: am I actually doing play-based therapy… or am I just using toys?
What to say.
How embed goals into play.
How to keep it moving.
That’s the part most SLPs are left to figure out on their own.
SHOW ME HOW TO PLAY LIKE THISPlay-based therapy isn’t just about what you’re using. It’s about how it’s being used.
You can use the same toy, with the same goal… and have two completely different sessions.
What changes is the interaction.
It’s the shared moments.
The back-and-forth.
The way language actually connects to what’s happening in the moment.
It’s how goals are embedded right into the play, so you’re not stopping and starting, or stepping out of the interaction to “fit it in.”
You can follow the child’s lead and still get in meaningful, high-quality trials.
And when you start to feel more confident there - how to respond, how to build language, how to keep things moving without overthinking it - that’s when sessions start to click.
And the hard part?
Most of us were never actually shown how to do this.
That's exactly why we created The Play Based Speech Therapy Course!
This isn’t about more ideas (although we give you LOADS of those) it’s about knowing how to actually use play in your sessions.
We walk you through every step, from understanding what real play looks like to knowing what to do in the moment - even when things don’t go as planned.
You’ll see real examples, real sessions, and real ways to apply this so you’re not left trying to figure it out on your own.
Because that “something feels off” feeling? We’ve been there too.
We’re Anna and Kiersten, pediatric SLPs who spent years running sessions that we thought was play based therapy - but wasn't.
This course is everything we wish we had back then.
No more guessing. No more piecing it together as you go. Just a clear, practical way to use play that actually works in real sessions.
So you can finally feel confident in what you’re doing and know it’s making a difference.
During past therapy sessions, I oftentimes would pull out my "play" materials, and immediately start drilling flashcards or visuals.
I always thought 'oh this is me playing because look, here is this toy I am using.' But then I started slowly learning from Anna and Kiersten through social media, and realized play based therapy is SO MUCH MORE than just having a toy in front of you.
Let me show you the difference!
Let’s say you’re using a barn.
It might look like:
-
“Say ‘cow’ 5 times”
-
hand over the animal
-
next child
It looks like play… but it doesn’t feel like it.
Now imagine this instead:
-
you’re building a little story together
-
the animals are part of something
-
you are responding to each other
-
you’re expanding language in the moment
Same toy.
Completely different session.
SHOW ME HOW THIS WORKS!
Here is how your sessions will start to feel different....
Stop wondering why your "play based sessions" don't fully click.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but something is still missing, this is the piece that’s been missing.
You’ll start to understand what actually makes play… play - so you can walk into your sessions with more clarity and way less second-guessing.
Use ANY toy or object in therapy without overthinking it.
No more searching for new activities or feeling like you need the “perfect” materials.
You’ll learn how to take what you already have and turn it into meaningful, language-rich interactions that actually work.
Keep kids engaged without feeling like you’re managing the session.
Instead of kids waiting, losing interest, or needing constant prompting…
You’ll learn how to create real back-and-forth interaction that keeps everyone involved so sessions feel smoother and more natural.
Know exactly what to do when toys just… don’t work.
Instead of trying to force toys that your students aren’t interested in, feeling stuck with kids who won’t engage the “typical” way, or defaulting to drill because nothing else seems to land.
You’ll learn how to create meaningful, engaging sessions without relying on toys at all.
Stop reinventing your sessions every single week.
Planning doesn’t have to feel hard.
You’ll learn how to use simple themes to make sessions more connected and reduce prep time.
It’s one of those small shifts that makes a big difference in how your whole week feels.
Stop relying on “say it again” to get repetitions.
That moment where you stop the interaction to get in five trials? That’s usually where things start to feel a bit off.
You’ll learn how to build practic opportunities into the interaction - so you stay in the moment and still get meaningful practice.
Walk into your sessions with a clear plan ... without spending hours prepping.
No more overthinking what to do next.
You’ll learn a simple, repeatable way to think through your sessions so therapy feels more consistent, easier to run, and less overwhelming.
Take data during play without breaking the flow of your session.
This is where it falls apart for a lot of us.
You’ll learn a way to track progress that works in real sessions. That way you can stay present with your students and still get the data you actually need.
Target speech sounds without turning play into drill.
That stop-and-start approach of practice-play-practice really shifts the whole feel of the session.
Speech sound therapy can live right inside the play itself. You stay in the moment, kids stay engaged, and practice happens without pulling everything apart.
Stop feeling like play “only works” for certain students.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether play is starting to feel a bit too babyishfor your older students… or slowly drifting back to worksheets and drill as kids get older… or even trying to adjust activities but feeling like it’s just not quite landing—you’re not alone.
You’ll learn how to use play in a way that actually works across ages, so it still feels engaging and appropriate whether you’re working with toddlers, preschoolers, or early elementary students.
Everything you need to actually use this - not just understand it.

I have taken many courses this year, and while I have loved them all, the Ultimate Play Based Speech Therapy Course is one of the best online PD for pediatric SLPs! Not only did it give me so many ideas for therapy, but it also reminded me why I love this job! The amount of practical information that I could apply immediately was significant - and my students loved every single thing I've tried.
Anna and Kiersten are a great team and are so fun to learn with. This course helped me think of ways to use items I already have and also gave me lots of new toy ideas. If you work with young children, this course is a must watch- and the amount of PDHs and ideas you get for the price, well- it’s a steal! You won’t regret it!

The Ultimate Play Based Speech Therapy Course completely reframed the way I tackle therapy! I was previously viewing play as a reward or “break”, when in reality it can be the activity! After watching just a few modules, I was able to learn exactly how to target speech and language goals using play and the child’s interests. My students are so engaged that they don't even know they are learning!

This course has totally transformed the way that I am structuring my therapy sessions! Prior to this course, I was using the traditional therapy approach with toys and calling it play-based. This course taught me how to create meaningful and functional sessions and increase my student's engagement! This course taught me HOW to make play work and how to SHOW these skills to others. I can’t recommend this course enough! It’s exactly what I needed!
