34. Tech Done Right: Using Digital Tools to Boost Language, Literacy, and Storytelling in Speech Therapy

Season #1

Technology isn’t going anywhere—it’s here to stay. The question is: how can SLPs use it wisely to improve speech, language, and literacy outcomes?

In today’s episode, I dive into what the latest research says about technology paired with adult-child interaction and how this powerful combination can:

  • Improve language comprehension and story grammar

  • Strengthen higher-level reasoning skills through “how” and “why” questions

  • Build phonological awareness (rhyming, segmenting, blending)

  • Enhance vocabulary growth with simple, meaningful supports

You’ll learn practical ways to integrate digital storybooks and media into therapy without losing what matters most: person-to-person interaction and moment-to-moment connection.

✨ Want ready-to-go digital activities that pair movement, literacy, speech, language, and AAC—without the bells and whistles that distract from learning?
