When intervention is functional... everyone wins. 🌿
Sometimes the best therapy happens outside the clinic room.
This session involved washing toys, collecting sticks, moving around outside and following this little guy's interests but underneath all of that play were opportunities to request, comment, make choices, learn new words, take turns and connect with the people around him.
Dad was right there too, which means the strategies we use in therapy aren't confined to a session, they can become part of everyday interactions at home.
When children are regulated, engaged and genuinely interested in what they're doing, we can create so many meaningful opportunities for communication.
Therapy doesn't have to mean sitting perfectly at a table.
Functional. Individualised. Child-led. 💚
