Have a toddler with a speech delay? Or are you an SLP working in early intervention? If so, Becca from Child Talk has a wonderful blog with an array of helpful techniques and activities. I LOVE this particular post and have highlighted a few of my favorite parts. Theres plenty more to read though. I invite you to check it out. She goes on to describe how attempting to accomplish therapy carryover at home used to be overwhelming and somewhat guilt-provoking, especially when therapists would leave long lists of tasks to be accomplished. Then, Ellen reflects on how she has learned to do only what she can and let the rest go (yay!) and, most importantly, how she has learned to integrate the things Max needs into fun family activities that they were doing anyway. I must note, of course, that this won’t work for everyone, in every activity. My daughter loves grocery shopping. My son? Hated it. With him, getting through grocery shopping was an exercise in survival; my sole focus was on keeping him contained long enough that we could get the groceries we needed. The activity has to fit the child, not the other way around. And, there is also the danger of believing that every single activity throughout the day has to be a learning experience. It doesn’t. pediastaff/blog/guest-blog-everyday-language-activities-grocery-shopping-with-a-toddler-6219?utm_content=buffercab52&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer
