I work as a Speech Pathology Assistant in a private clinic. I provide my own materials for therapy. Are therapy materials tax deductible?

Are therapy materials deductible? I purchase games and on line materials for speech therapy. I also purchase card stock and laminate for printing online materials such as flash cards and games. Wondering if anything can be used as a tax deduction.
