My Project

Toys and games are an amazing and effective way to foster and encourage language and communication. I have included activities and supplies such as Play-Doh, Mr. Potato Head, and others to target goals such as vocabulary, requesting, and following directions.

When children are engaged in activities they love and are having fun, they are more likely to associate the skills they are learning with a positive attitude and demonstrate a higher rate of retention.

Many of my students are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and benefit from the use of structured materials such as the vocabulary cards I have included in my project. However, they also enjoy learning through play and engaging in preferred activities to retain knowledge.

My main goal for this project is to continue to provide my students with a variety of activities to ensure they continue to enjoy coming to their speech therapy sessions.
