One great way to encourage your child to use their current communication skills and push them to practice new communication skills is to put toys, snacks, and activities within sight but out of reach.
Bring out some of your child’s favorite activities. Or bring out novel (safe) kitchen items, or bathroom items, or office items. Brushes, spoons, envelopes. See what your child is interested in. As they are playing, narrate everything they’re doing.
“Very happy with all of the speech sessions. Our therapist was always willing to answer and explain any questions I had in a way I could easily understand. She worked with me on the goals we focused on and really listened to my concerns. Most importantly my daughter LOVED seeing and “playing” with her each week.”
