If your child is 2 years and above, and...

- Do not respond to their name reliably
- Have no/limited gestures
- Do not/rarely imitate your words, sounds or actions
- Have no/limited eye contact

We strongly recommend that you seek a consult with your GP or speech pathologist.

These are behaviours that may suggest that your child may require further tests/assessments...so that you can help them.

Early Intervention is critical and can make a difference.

School holidays/break from therapy do not automatically mean a pause in progress for children with language delays or disorders. 🐠

Trips like this β€” standing in awe of a manta ray gliding overhead, pointing out a reef shark below β€” can bring about rich communication opportunities between you and your child.

For children working on language and vocabulary, outings like visits to the farm, zoo, or aquarium naturally introduce new words in context. Think of words like: predator, habitat, enclosure.

Hearing and using words in real-life settings can reinforce vocabulary retention.

You don't always need a structured activity or a therapist in the room. Especially once you know the goals your child has been working on and the strategies used in working toward these goals, you can adapt them to real-life outings.

Try this in the 2–3 days after your outing:
✏️ Vocabulary revision β€” Write down 3–4 new words you came across and try to practise saying them, and discussing them together. Repetition is key to words sticking.
🐾 Animal descriptions β€” Take turns describing 3–4 animals you saw. Describe features β€” physical appearance, what sounds they make, what foods they eat, and/or their habitat.

School holidays can be great for therapy progress, too β€” they may just look like an adventure!

Tuesday Language Tips for Early Language Developers:

1. Ask: Forced choice questions
Do you want an apple or orange?

2. Create: Opportunities for your child to request
Place things they like in a clear tub and bring them out one at a time

3. Reshape: Your child’s nonwords into real words
You can imitate what they say but shape it into a real word. E.g., if your child says β€œAhh” for β€œApple” you could say β€œAhh” and point to the Apple, and then say β€œAaaah-ple?" "I’ll bring the Apple over to you!” And see if your child imitates

4. Imitate: Your child’s sounds and actions
And see if they can also imitate yours when you say something different

5. Enjoy: repetitive books or predictable songs together
And leave out the last word in the sentence to give your child a chance to fill in your blanks

Which language tip/strategy would you like us to elaborate on?

Here's the truth about Speech Therapy:

1: It doesn't only happen in a clinic β€” it happens at home, with you the parent πŸ’“

Which is why getting parents involved in speech therapy is crucial. Parent coaching is the best way to help your child so you can use these strategies at home.

2. Your child hears a richer vocabulary and language when you make more comments vs asking β€œwhat’s that” πŸ’¬

The two words "what's that" should be on a "lightly used only" list! We recommend a ratio of 1 "what's that" question: 3-5 comments. E.g., "What's that?" (pointing to the bird). "A bird", "I see the bird with big wings" "It is flying so high" "I love its brown feathers".

3. Following the child's lead creates richer, longer conversations vs directing them πŸ§’

As long as they make safe choices, it is so helpful to be led by your child's interests play.

❀️ If they want to play with the cars, let's do it!
❀️ If they want to turn the car upside down and spin wheels, let's go for it!
❀️ If their Little People want to go up the slide vs go down, why not?

4. Getting face to face with your child can increase joint attention and connection vs simply sitting side by side or when they are on your lap πŸ‘€

Let's get on the floor to play with them!

When we read books, can we sit across them vs side by side, so they can watch our mouths, faces, and we can do the same of them? And encourage closer joint attention that way.

4. Repeating their words back, but expanding on their sentences, can really help the child learn more complex sentence structures and vocabulary πŸ—£οΈ

If they say "there's the dog" you could say "There is the dog, and he is barking!"

Your child would have heard 4 more words, and you would have modelled 4 more words for them.
