I love RIOA!  I love the multitude of vocabulary and concepts that are available for speech therapy and that everything is interconnected with the story theme.  I especially love the questions to use during therapy because a visual field is already prepared.
This is the best curriculum because it uses authentic literature classic stories that are highly motivating to students and addresses so many skills repetitiously in order to help students master and maintain skills.

I absolutely love RIOA! I am a speech language pathologist in a school district and use RIOA in therapy and with the preschool teachers in their classrooms. It’s great … and easy! I collaborate with the preschool teachers to determine what units they are going to use each month and the student’s goals in their IEPs. I carryover what they are learning in the classrooms and the OT also carries over the RIOA activities with the students we share. They love it too! This way, we all are working on the same goals in mind and the students can’t wait to hear the monthly storybook reading and daily activities. We send the pre-unit letter home to the parents when we start a new unit each month, and at the end of each unit we send the post-unit letter along with the  completed activities to them as well. The parents are always excited to see what their child has worked on and what the next RIOA monthly unit will be.
