Speech therapists use a variety of creative, child-friendly tools to make communication practice engaging, meaningful, and easier to understand. These resources can help children build language skills, express their needs, understand routines, manage emotions, and connect with others.
Visual supports
Picture cards, choice boards, visual schedules, and communication boards can help children understand what is happening, make choices, and express what they need.
Books and storytelling tools
Picture books, story cards, and sequencing activities can help children build vocabulary, answer questions, understand emotions, and practice telling stories.
Play-based activities
Games, toys, pretend play, songs, and turn-taking activities allow children to practice communication in a natural and enjoyable way.
Social and emotional learning tools
Emotion cards, social stories, role-play activities, and calming strategies can help children understand feelings, friendships, boundaries, and social situations.
Home practice materials
Simple worksheets, parent handouts, and everyday activity ideas help families continue communication practice at home in a supportive and consistent way.-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
