Teacher or speech-language pathologist: choose by their role

For a school-year thank-you, the recipient’s day-to-day role is a good place to start. One sweatshirt shows book-loving geese; the other speaks directly to speech therapy and SLPs.

Let their role lead the choice

Choose the reading-goose design for a teacher who enjoys bookish humor or classroom reading. Choose the speech-therapy design for a speech-language pathologist or speech therapist who would recognize that part of their work in the gift.

If the recipient works in both settings, think about which role they talk about most—or which design better matches their sense of humor. If not, keep the choice simple and follow the job they actually hold. Browse the work and school collection for more role-based ideas.
