We have been loving these shopping games to work on a range of different goals. We have used them for requesting e.g. 'can I please have ____', concepts e.g. 'top' and 'bottom', vocabulary, speech sounds e.g. 'sh' in 'shopping' or 'shop', 'l' in 'list', pronouns e.g. 'I have', 'you have', 'she has', 'he has', commenting e.g. 'I like/I don't like____' and many more goals!! If you know the goal you can adapt activities to work towards your child's goals ✅

We have been loving the kids level at the Australian Museum these school holidays. It's free to explore most of the museum and there is a massive area for the kids to play in and explore! 🦕🦖

The best outdoor activity that our toddler has been loving. A container with sand on some crates so that it's at standing height. It has been great to encourage some independent play. 🏖️🚜🪣

We had so much fun making this house in a session. A student came in explaining that he made a paper house at school. We used this to work on writing a procedure and clearly explaining each step involved so that we could recreate it in a session 🏠

It has been a long and busy Term 1! The school holidays can be a great time to carry out any assessments and address any concerns surrounding your child's speech, literacy or communication. We can also use this time to engage in fun-filled literacy, speech, social skills or language sessions to support your child. If getting to the clinic is too tricky, our therapists have fantastic online resources to engage your child. Send us an online enquiry through our website if you have any questions 🙂

🐣 We had a fun morning using the game 'Chicks go BOOM'! We were working on requesting e.g. 'I want the blue chicken'. So many opportunities to practice requesting, colours, using longer sentences and turn taking. All in a fun and simple game! 😀

📚 This book has been a favourite in our house for the last few months! It has been great for working on imitating animal sounds, naming animals, verbs (action words), pointing, using motor skills for turning pages and pressing buttons! 👍

🚗 Magnetic tiles - an activity that we love playing in the clinic and at home with our kiddies. It is definitely a favourite! So many opportunities for questions, prepositions (e.g. 'in', 'on', 'under', 'next to'), colours, order language (e.g. 'first', 'last'). It's amazing how many goals you can work on in a simple activity.

📚 We love when kiddies tell us about the readers they're reading at school! We love it even more when we look up the readers and find out that they are decodable 👍✅

Children use their communication to learn and interact with others.

Through communication, they learn to:
>make friends
>follow rules and instructions
>tell stories
>play games
>learn new skills name and express emotions.

At school, children learn more advanced speaking and listening skills, and learn to read and write. Communication is essential for learning at school, enabling children to: argue and persuade explain, reason, problem solve learn new ideas and words learn complex words for example in theatre, maths and science.
