3 THINGS ALL SPEECH THERAPY SESSIONS SHOULD INCLUDE: Improve ATTENTION, MOTIVATION and PARTICIPATION

[@jovi5jovs]

Your videos have been so informative and provide so much rich ideas. Thanks so much! Side note, I agree with the child first terminology. A child should not be defined as their label, they are a child first and the label is just a small part of them.

[@minnahjanna]

Thank you! Also to people who say that the speed is fast, they can always put videos in .75 speed and it will be okay. For people like me whose first language is not English, I do this and enjoy the videos! She is awesome!

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Oh wow! That’s a great idea!!! Thank you!!

[@jomelyngallardo5125]

Omg! You are the one that I've been looking for. This is a big help for those mothers that cant afford therapy. Thank you!

[@CSLT99]

Thank you for this video! I'm so happy you said how we can engage kids who want to line up toys, I didn't know how to engage with my little guy when he does this. I feel motivated to try that and the tunnel thing too!! Your videos have given me so much hope and encouragement!!

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Absolutely! Add a little play routine before giving him each car or object, & help him imitate movements, sounds to engage! You can do it!!! Thank you for watching!!

Hi Kelly! I want to thank you for providing amazing quality videos! I have learned so much from you! I am fresh out of graduate school and my practicum experiences were all online due to COVID. Your videos have served as an amazing resource for me when I need ideas for in person pediatric therapy. Thanks again and God bless!

Thanks so much for the comment & for watching! ❤️

[@kearahartson2596]

thank you so much for your videos! i've watched almost all of them. My son is 28 months and despite best efforts following everything you say he doesn't progress past "dododo dadada nanana mamama nonono" He makes eye contact and plays along excitedly. when i wait to prompt him for words like "mama up" or an animal sound in a book or "ready... set.... " he will look at me and wait then be annoyed i didn't say it and just be done with the game. Or he goes to extreme lengths to avoid having to ask for things. He will pull out his word cards to indicate his want but he won't attempt the words! He's currently in speech and music classes and awaiting EI but im at a loss. He understands simple commands, "toys away, shut door, etc" but just seems to have a genuine disinterest in attempting singular words despite endless repetition and simple talk and sign language etc etc.

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Hmmm okay, thank you for all of this info! Let’s try 1-2 weeks of simply NO prompts / cues only modeling FUN onomatopoeias words & no pressure to imitate anything. Sometimes when we remove the pressure, a child will naturally blossom & become more confident in their skills! I’ve seen this only 1 other time & we did this, and it did work after day 10. So just no cues to imitate or repeat words “show me” what we want. Oh! Cookie! Okay! Yum! Cookie! Here’s a cookie!” & pretend to fall down saying “whoops!” Over & over again, on the swing “weee!” Out of the tub, “ta da!!” After drinking “ahh!” Just any fun onomatopoeia sounds you can make, focus on using those all day without pressure to imitate & let’s see what happens!!

[@primordialgeek6810]

Haha! I thought it was just me. Yes, your rate of speech increases with your enthusiasm. That's all right, I just back up and listen again. I can't keep up with Blippi, either!

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Ahh!! So sorry!!! Every time I really do start off okay but like you said, I get excited!!! Lol thank you for your patience!

[@Bluex847]

I need speech therapy for my three year old. Where are you located?

[@javierapolinario5805]

Good evening thanks so much for your videos they’re really helpful. Do you do private therapy?

[@vijaylaxmirustagi5638]

Please make a video to teach brocas aphasia parents due to stroke

[@Kathrynlove]

My speech therapist doesn't do any of that 😮...Ugh...and she Always makes the appointment short. She is the ONLY speech therapist in my network and I have to drive 2 cities over to get to her...

[@sekangkenty9818]

Love your videos! Trying to find a nice gift for our daughters speech therapist more like a thank you gift. Is there anything in particular that someone in your field of work would really appreciate?

[@TheSpeechScoop]

An SLP subscription box would be awesome! I know SpeechTreeCo has some, and there are a few others as well like SpeechCube! Or a giftcard to PeachieSpeechie.com! :) that’s so nice of you!

[@Rama-xs1jb]

Super helpful. Your videos are great help to me .My child interest is numbers and letters and he loves songs. I found it hard to be creative about play ideas. If you have any tips pls help. Thanks a lot.

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Absolutely! Definitely if they are interested in letters what I usually do is hide the letters and come up with new play routines like “ oh no where is A? There you are letter A! I saved you!” And put it in the puzzle! and sometimes I create a obstacle course where they have to run through the tunnel and get each letter and crawl back through to put it in the puzzle and then go get the next letter!

[@honeygladyspotutan6788]

Thank you for your videos! It gives me a lot of ideas to make play "fun" at home. Im just wondering if what other actvities can we do with a ring and basketball? That's my son's favorite. He's turning 2. 😊

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Laundry bin game with basketball! Different size balls! Using painters tape to create lines where you have to shoot from! Hiding rings, matching them with colors, putting them in the fridge, ring toss! Bounce off games! Love that!! Also I have a whole list of recommended toys on amazon.com/shop/SpeedySpeech with lots of related toys!

[@selochoa639]

Maybe a video on how to help a child say sorry less? Also, a video on how to help a child request for help using a hand prompt? I love your videos and they have helped me a lot. Thanks (:

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Love these ideas! Thank you! What is he saying sorry for? Maybe take data on when he saying it and see if there’s another word he is meaning to say and provide that word!

[@lkillie]

Where is your shirt from?

[@marshasobie643]

Please touch on how to get beyond " well it has to be his idea or he won't do anything". I don't understand that. Isn't the substance of the various therapies trying to help them to enjoy the interaction and initiate activities...as well as imitation, gestures etc so if we are waiting on them to have " the idea" we may wait till it's just too late !!!

[@marshasobie643]

The caregiver refers to " has to be his idea" often and the other day in speech therapy the therapist tacitly agreed ?? It seems like a crutch for not successfully devising ways to entice and encourage more imitation, and productive actions. Just don't see any ways to move beyond aimless playing and begin to see some intention to this child's actions. He is 5 1/2 , has gotten early intervention since he was 2 and continuing OT and Speech therapy and attended pre K from age 3 and recently started Kindergarten but wasn't allowed to go to his district school due to their not having services to take him on. He has made very, very limited progress. Non verbal and very limited communication of ANY sort. No gestures, imitation, very few of the pre requisites to " talking". Some increase in attention span and eye contact. Any advice?

have you done a video about having sensory bins at home
