Speech worksheets/homework

TIA to whoever answers....

b/f's son is 5 years old and autistic. There have been cutbacks in his speech therapy.
B/F wants to work at home with his son. The school hasn't been very helpful with anything. Since he spends a lot of time with his mom, b/f doesn't see a lot of the worksheets from speech.
We found a website that has a ton of worksheets that seemed to be very similar to the few he has seen.

So, my question to any speech therapist who would like to help us out is..... is there an order that works best or should we go a-b-c order?

Here is the link to the worksheets we found. Feel free to recomend yours.Speech worksheets

Again, TIA!!!

ETA - almost unncessary post but I think it might help to get some additional input or share with others...upon futher review/searching on the website - they suggest an order to present the letters....

Re: Speech worksheets/homework

The order of speech therapy to work on specific speech sounds usually goes by developmental order of aquisition. Meaning, we work on what is developmentally appropriate for that child's age. At the age of 5, MOST sounds are mastered with the exception of: /r/(as in rabbit, tear, and carry), /l/ (especially at the end of words). Sounds like /s/ and /z/ are often produced as /th/.

I often send parents this link so they can see what is considered developmentally appropriate for their child.

As for worksheets, Super Duper Inc. publishes lots of artic books, but any phonics-based language arts book is perfectly fine as well.

I've also used speakingofspeech.com as a useful resource.

Re: Speech worksheets/homework

Is he verbal? are you looking to work on sound production skills or sound letter recognition, pre reading skills?

Re: Speech worksheets/homework

He is verbal - as he can talk/speek - he just chooses not to and/or its hard to understand. I think we are trying to work on pronunciation.

He says - I want est eye - which is best buy.

He can read - as much as he memorized words - not really comprehending but he is in a pre-k class so its not really expected yet.

he can write his letters -

The website we found today that we think will help is Mommy Speech Therapy

It even shows us how to teach speech.

I created a schedule of letters - 1 letter per week. I'm working on a weekly schedule for each day - he works best with schedules.

Saturday - Itsy Bitsy Book Itsy Bitsy Book

Sunday- Fun Day - plan an activity around the weekly letter

Monday - Begining letter

Tuesday - Middle letter

Wednesday - Ending letter

Thursday - Review prior letters

Friday - games, coloring, etc.

I figure if we put int 15-20 minutes a day we can make big progress. A few of the websites have "key words" - we will print them out and hang them around the house. Print out the list to review in the car.
