Play based therapy is so fun AND it allows children to learn and use language in a naturalistic setting. Learning language in a natural setting allows children to better generalize the skills that they are learning during speech therapy services. Here are some language stimulation approaches SLPs use during play based therapy sessions. These language strategies are great for clinicians and caregivers to use with their children too!
