I used to get so hung up on the ā€œstages of playā€ā€”wondering if a child should be doing this or shouldā€™ve already moved on from that.

But hereā€™s what Iā€™ve learned: play isnā€™t a checklist. Itā€™s communication. Itā€™s regulation. Itā€™s connection.

Whether itā€™s lining things up, repeating the same game, exploring objects, or engaging with othersā€”thereā€™s meaning in all of it.

When we stop trying to rush play into looking a certain way, we make space for growth to happen naturally.

All play is okay. And all play tells us something important. āœØ

Waiting can feel uncomfortableā€¦ but itā€™s one of the most powerful ways we support communication.

When we slow down and give AAC users time, weā€™re showing them that their voice matters and that weā€™re truly listening.

Try it this weekā€”pause, count, and see what happens. You might be surprised by what your student shares
