Frequently asked questions
Is this printable really free?
Yes. Download it, print it, copy it for a whole caseload. No email address, no account, no watermark.
What is on the category sorting mat?
2 US Letter pages: a two-box sorting mat; twelve picture tiles to cut out, six of each; words printed on every tile.
Will it print in black and white?
It will. There are no filled backgrounds, so a school copier costs you the same ink as a blank page. Colour is a bonus, not a requirement.
How long should we spend on it?
Talk about the ones that could go in either box.
This page is meant as educational support for home practice, not a diagnosis. It's not a medical device, not a replacement for AAC, and not a substitute for a licensed speech-language pathologist, pediatrician, early intervention program, or school evaluation team. If you have concerns about your child's speech, the right next step is a conversation with a qualified professional who can actually see and hear your child.
