This problem solving resource for speech therapy facilitates improved understanding of problems, their causes, and how to solve problems including a self-advocacy component.
This resource follows a consistent process for discussing problems and their solutions: cause (What caused the problem?), problem (What is the problem? Why is it a problem?), feelings (How does everyone involved feel? Why?), solutions (What are some solutions? What should be done to fix it?), and say/self-advocacy (What could you/the person say to help solve the problem?).
This resource includes:
- Visuals
- Graphic Organizers
- Problem-Solving Strategy Ideas
- Intro Teaching Scenarios (6)
- 70 Real Pictures (in both task cards and a printable worksheet format)
- Social Scenarios (10)
- Low-Tech AAC Board
- Data Sheet for Progress Monitoring
This resource focuses less on getting students to find the “right” solution to a problem, and more on how to approach problem-solving by analyzing the history/cause of the situation, taking the perspective of other people in the situation to identify their feelings, describing the problem in depth, naming possible solutions, and last, identifying what can be said to help solve the problem or communicate to others about the problem.

Very well organised resource as well as step by step questions helped my students to infer and create a solution
Vineela P. –
My started using with my son, who is under spectrum. Being a visual learner he started learning the concept in a fun and entertaining way. As I didn’t put my efforts in preparing the material , I too had a good time working with him on this concept. Looking forward for more .
Erin Proffit –
Great scaffolding and visuals. Relatable scenarios. Opportunity to flex to individual need

Exactly what I needed to teach problem solving with my autistic students.

Speech and Sunflowers –
Like all of Speechy Musings products, this is so comprehensive and clear. I love the visuals- I hung up on my wall and they are not too crowded or “fancy” to be distracting. There are also so many examples and cards, I could use them for the entire year and be set. I’m very happy with this purchase and I would call this a must-have if you are working on social language/problem-solving.
Cheryl W. –
Great product to use for problem solving. I look forward to using this product with my students.

Lauren K. –
My students loved using this resource during small group!
Marti F. –
I love how Shannon has broken down problem solving into clear methodical steps by teaching students to identify “cause, problem, feelings, solution,” and “speaking/self advocacy.” A plus is if you have other problem solving resources her visuals for problem solving can be used with those as well and it can also be used to target inferences. I would have preferred more pictured problems relatable to student’s everyday lives. For example there is a photo of trash littering a beach, and while it illustrates a problem, it may not be as critical as problems with social interactions and managing everyday frustrations. But all in all I still recommend Problem Solving Scenarios For Speech Therapy .
Haley M. –
My students responded really well to this resource. I am able to work on relevant problem solving scenarios with this activity

Low prep and comprehensive resource for students working on problem solving, inferencing or other social pragmatic goals.
Carolyn J. –
Upon bumping into this resource, I kept thinking, “hmmm, this could be really useful to get the kids talking about real-life situations….” My EFLs are so used to using those boooooring textbooks that give them the repetitive subjects they hear all day, but they never get to talk about real-life situations. Ok, my EFLs don’t have the highest level in English, but they have enough to start defending themselves in using the language. These cards will be perfect in bringing them situations they can relate to, causing them interest to discuss and therefore, use the language. Hopefully, they will also learn how to deal with some of them! It’s a 2×1 deal!
Thank you!
Tara S. –

I purchased this for one of my older ASD clients that’s strugging with regulation, problem-solving, and generalizing the skills he’s learned in the past. I was able to print these or present them on the spot with my electronic device to work on problem-solving, inferencing, and helping him break down his perspective aloud. Thanks so much for making such a diverse item!

This is a great resource. I love that is has real pictures and helps walk students through the process of problem solving.
Sarah C. –

What the cause is completely changes what the solution is, so I love how this resource includes the cause, problem, feelings, solution, *and* what should be said to execute the solution! I am finding a wonderful resource to use with students who can identify what the problem is, but don’t know what to do next.
Sheri G. –
Love the photographs
My students that are working on problem solving are usually 3rd grade or above, so I wanted to use materials that were appropriate for all ages. This meets that need. I also feel like when my students see photographs of other kids facing familiar problems it’s easier for them to relate to.

Great resource
I have been using this resource recently for a 2nd grade student to help identify sources of possible conflicts/problems and then learning to use of framework to solve the problem. There visuals are great and presented in a logical manner which makes it very easy to use and teach. Great resource for pragmatic language goals.

Great resource
If Speechy Musings makes it, I’m probably buying it. Her resources are so well researched and thought out. I often pull this product from my shelf and use one of the scenarios to fill the last 5 minutes.
