We all know the classic game of I spy... 🕵🏻👀 “I spy something starting with the letter X”

Well the thing about speechies is that we have a real knack for adapting games to suit our client’s goals. 

I spy can look at letter name and sound awareness, language, comprehension, writing, spelling, turn taking. The list is endless. Check out these couple of variations to the game. 

What variations can you think of? Comment them down below!

The way we interact and support our GLP’s makes a huge difference in the way they feel heard and use language. We love to be detectives 🕵️ in Speech Therapy sessions to work out the meaning behind gestalts that might not be obvious working with families, carers and teachers.

On Friday 19th July, we will be wearing our pyjamas to school in support of Pyjama Day. We've been lucky enough at our service to witness the benefit and incredible work of foster carers and the positive outcomes the foster care system provides for children.

Help us reach our fundraising goal today to provide crucial support for kids in foster care: https://fundraise.thepyjamafoundation.com/fundraisers/nidoearlyschoolsevenhills

Ways to support a Child’s language development using self and parallel talk (aka talking about what you are doing and what the child is doing). This strategy works for both analytic language learners as well as gestalt language processors (just the cautious of the use of personal pronouns).

Love seeing literacy in the rooms of childcare centres 😍😍 Our speechies that visit children at our lovely neighbours Nido love seeing their programs in action!
