"My preschool teacher begged for push-in therapy this year. [The Push-in Playbook] was so helpful in giving me a framework for how to do this kind of therapy. I went from panicked to confident in no time at all."
Stephanie R.
"I collaborated with Merrie for many years in a [self-contained] classroom full of children with varied abilities. Merrie’s creative approach using props and materials always kept the children interested and motivated to learn. Teachers and assistants learned while watching Merrie do her thing! Merrie was a wealth of information and inspiration!”
Robin R.Preschool Special Educator
“I had the great fortune to work with Merrie Smithson for over 18 years. She and I planned together to ensure speech goals and techniques were integral to everything we did. She was innovative in creating activities, materials, and opportunities that engaged the students in playful practice and repetition. It was a very successful cooperative teaching approach!”
