🍔🍟 Speech Therapy = PLAY with PURPOSE 🎯
Look at this simple setup… and ALL the skills we’re targeting 👇
With just a pop toy + a few picture cards, we worked on:
✨ Vocabulary (hamburger, fries, pizza, salad, cookie)
✨ Requesting (“I want ___”)
✨ Following directions (“find pizza,” “put it in”)
✨ Matching + early categorization
✨ Turn-taking + engagement
✨ Articulation practice
• /f/ → “fries,” “food”
• /v/ → “veggies”
• /s/ blends → “slide,” “spin,” “stack”
• /g/ → “go,” “get”
And the BEST part? This sweet kiddo thought we were just playing 😄
This is your reminder that learning doesn’t have to be complicated. The magic happens when we take what kids LOVE (pop toys, food, colors, movement) and turn it into meaningful communication opportunities 💬
💡 Try this at home:
• Hold up 2 choices → “Do you want pizza or fries?”
• Pause and wait (this is HUGE!)
• Model simple words → “pizza,” “more,” “eat”
• Sneak in sound practice → “ffffries,” “go-go-go!”
• Celebrate ANY attempt to communicate 🙌
Little moments like this build BIG communication skills ❤️
