🐟 Learning colours + making requests! A simple fish activity can create so many opportunities for language! In this activity, we have red, yellow, green and blue fish and we’re using a communication board to help children make requests. We can model phrases such as: 🔴 “Red fish” 🟡 “Yellow fish” 🟢 “Green fish” 🔵 “Blue fish” You can also build on this by asking: “What colour?” “Which fish do you want?” “Find the blue fish!” The key is to model the language alongside your child’s communication, rather than expecting them to say it independently. Whether they point, gesture, use a communication board or use spoken words, every attempt to communicate counts! #language #speechandlanguage #speechpathologist #languagedevelopment

Playdoh is a brilliant way to build language through play while keeping little hands busy. In this activity, we’re using a simple visual board to support children to request and describe what they want to do: 🗣️ “I want playdoh” 👐 “Roll” 💪 “Squeeze” ✂️ “Cut” The board gives children a clear way to communicate while they play, whether they’re using words, pointing or a combination of both. And the best part? You’re modelling language that is directly connected to what they’re doing! #playdoh #speechpathologist #speechandlanguage #languagedevelopment #play
