Giant Mouth Model
If you’re looking for a practical graduation gift for speech pathologists, you can’t go past a giant mouth model! If the new grad in your life is planning on working in paediatrics, they’ll enjoy having a giant mouth model to use when modeling speech sounds and helping little ones to prepare for oral motor assessments. The Peachie Speechie has some great mouth model recommendations that you can choose from, all available for purchase from Amazon.
Larynx Model
Have you heard that the speech pathologist in your life is planning on working with adults or in a medical setting, like a hospital? A great graduation gift for them might be a medical model of a larynx – it’s the body part that gives us our voice! While there are plenty of Larynx models to choose from online (some really pricey ones too!) this model from Mentone Education is a great starting point for a new grad with an interest in this space.
We hope you’ve found one or two great graduation gift ideas for the soon-to-be Speech Pathologist in your life! It’s an exciting, rewarding career path they are about to embark on.
