SpeechPage.com Materials should: • Fit easily into the busy therapy life of an SLP! (Take up the least amount of your valuable space and coordination time as possible!

Why keep picking up stacks of cards?) • Be fun and colorful and with easy to recognize illustrations that your clients enjoy using! • Be useful in many different ways because we recognize that EVERYone of your clients is special and has different goals and needs. You need FLEXIBLE sources of stimulus therapy materials that you can use for a variety of purposes based on your professional judgment. • Be delivered quickly and available at the most reasonable cost as possible.

We try to show at least part of the other pages you will get!) You then know what you are ordering--a great Speech/Language material from an honest & open company!

Don D'Amore has been an amateur cartoonist and illustrator for his whole adult life. By combining his knowledge of Speech Language Pathology with his own personal art illustrations, and his desire to spread his work beyond the hundreds of individuals he has already assisted as a clinician, SpeechPage.com was born. Because the whole writing and illustrating production process of these SpeechPages is done by an experienced SLP, we hope you find that they target your goals in ways in which some other available materials may fall short. We want our Speech Therapy materials to fit right into your therapy style, help you stay organized, and make your therapy life easier!
NO GENERIC CLIP ART FROM A CD OR FROM THE INTERNET! Frustrated with some materials that rely on generic 'clip art' for their source material? They may be cheaper or even free, but are they doing the job? We noticed that some of the individuals we work with may not recognize generalized or vague 'clip art' or simple line drawn images from a CD-Rom collection or from an internet search. It is no wonder! Clip art collections may have been designed for very different purposes such as illustrating a company newsletter, or for another purpose and NOT as a Speech Therapy stimulus tool. Some clip art is simple while another is complex. Every illustration on a SpeechPage material was drawn by the SLP and DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PURPOSES.
