It's that time of year when many of our speech kiddos are off on vacation, living their best lives, while we are left wondering if their goal progress will take a steep nose dive on their return. But fear not! There's tons of activities that are easy to implement by caregivers while they are on vacation too.
If you struggle with students who don't benefit from the iPad/tablet being around, consider using some low-tech therapy options instead! I love using word-lists with these kids, so that we can really focus on our goals for speech and get those important trials in.
Often, we “inherit” goals based off of child's low scores in a certain area, but we all know we can't just outright work on all language goals without addressing the foundational skills they may lack!
Comparing and Contrasting is one of those goals. It's a foundational skill for later-emerging cognitive processes that enable kids to be successful in their executive functioning. However, it's often treated as a silly goal that has no real-life applicability. Read on to learn more and how we can address this in our sessions!
By giving parents specific examples of how to incorporate language into our daily routines, we help them increase their opportunities for language. The best way to do that? Think of chores or necessary parts of life that parents use everyday. Today we'll talk about one that is so underutilized but can increase their child's language skills tremendously with little effort: car rides!
