South West speech Therapy approved toys, books and gifts for your preschooler this Christmas
I adore books for supporting speech and language skills. Did you know that parents who read 1 picture book a day with their child expose them to an estimated 78000 words a year?! So why not maximise this with some new stories!
My child has an amazing vocabulary but they can’t ask for a snack – what do I do?
I have worked with many children who have lots and lots of words that they know but they are struggling to know how to communicate. 2 little ones in particular come to mind, one who knew the names of all the dinosaurs (something I could never hope to achieve!) and another who could recite the whole of Room on the Broom word for word. Both of these little ones struggled to get across their core needs verbally.
9 lessons in 9 years as a SLT, what I’ve learnt as a speech and langauge therapist in 9 years practicing.
