Have you ever wondered what the difference is between repetitive play and imaginative play?โœจ

Hereโ€™s what it can look like ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น Repetitive play: spinning wheels, lining up toys or emptying and refilling containers

๐Ÿ”น Imaginative play: acting out stories, pretending with toys or creating role play scenarios

At DSKC, our speech pathologists often use play to build language skills and language to build play ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐ŸŽจ

โ€œDodโ€ instead of dog? โ€œTatโ€ instead of cat? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Sounds like k and g are made at the back of the mouth, while d and t are made at the front. Some children will substitute the harder back sounds with easier front ones a process called fronting

๐ŸŒฑ For many children, fronting resolves on its own around ages 4โ€“5. If it continues beyond that age, it may be a good idea to check in with a speech pathologist for guidance

Thanks so much to OT Trish for coming to visit our team on ELEVATE Day and share her wealth of knowledge! ๐Ÿ’œ

This was such an informative and practical learning opportunity (shout out to the Kaiko Spikey fidgets the team are still using!).

It was so helpful to discuss case examples of typical sensory challenges that can be encountered in sessions and strategies to better support childrenโ€™s
engagement.

We hope our paths cross again soon! ๐ŸŒŸ
