This will always be my tried and true advice to any SLP (or any educator) working with children. Connecting with them is vitally important before we can expect them to “work” for us. Take the time to build a trusting relationship, ask them about their day, find out what they love, observe what they need and the rest will only be easier. 🤍

📣 Teaching Emotions with the Big 3 in Speech Th

📣 Teaching Emotions with the Big 3 in Speech Therapy this week! 😊😢😡➡️ 👀👄🤨

One of my favorite ways to help kids understand and recognize the feelings of others is focusing on the *Big 3*: eyes, eyebrows and mouth. These facial features show our emotions easily and help kids build a foundation for self-awareness and emotional regulation.

💡 Here’s how I introduce the Big 3:
👀👄🤨➡️ Help students locate their own facial features in a mirror and then within a drawing!
1️⃣ **Visual Cues**: Use emojis, flashcards, or picture books to help students recognize facial expressions.
2️⃣ **Role-Playing**: Practice different scenarios to identify what makes us feel happy, sad, or angry.
3️⃣ **Feelings Chart**: Use a chart to check in and talk about how we’re feeling today – and why!

By mastering recognizing emotions, kids are better prepared to show empathy, expand their emotional vocabulary and navigate social situations with confidence! 🌈

TOY TUESDAY IS BACK!! 🎉 Let’s get the party started with the @learningresources Counting Surprise Party! 🎁

This fun toy isn’t just for counting – it’s a fantastic tool for building speech and language skills too! 🗣️✨ Here’s how:

🌟 Vocabulary Boost: Each surprise in the toy introduces new words like colors, shapes, and numbers, helping little ones expand their language while playing.

🌟 Turn-Taking: The anticipation of opening a surprise is perfect for practicing turn-taking in conversations – a key social communication skill.

🌟 Following Directions: Give your child simple instructions like “Open the blue present” or “Find the number 3,” strengthening their ability to listen and follow directions.

🌟 Requesting and Labeling: Encourage your child to ask for and name the different items they find in each gift box – from balloons to party hats! 🎈👒

🌟 Concepts of Size and Quantity: “More,” “less,” “big,” and “small” – these mathematical concepts become part of your child’s expressive language toolkit.

Party time becomes learning time, making it easier than ever to build communication skills while having fun! 🎉✨

Understanding your child is important.

It is important to you and it is even more important to them.

“Intelligibility” refers to how much of their spoken speech we can understand. As children develop their speech should be easier to understand! If you are not noticing improvements in your child’s speech, others continue to have difficulties understanding them or your child is increasingly FRUSTRATED, reach out for an assessment. Acting early is important!

Squeezing in this “Reindeer Food” recipe between all the celebrating this week! 🎅🏼🎄Visual recipes are great for both reader and not-yet readers! This recipe was perfect for our small social skills groups, sharing materials and creating some ✨magic✨ together! 💚❤️

We also learned the definition of the word “substitute” when Ms. Jen ran out of “prinkles” and subbed in mini-marshmallows! Reindeer love those too, right?! Thought so!! 😁👍🏼🦌
