//3 THINGS TO INCLUDE IN EVERY THERAPY SESSION:
#1) GROSS MOTOR ACTIVITY:
Use a tunnel or painter tape to create an obstacle course
SENSORY: Grab a BIN
MEET THEIR ENERGY or HELP BOOST Their Energy Level for active engagement with a FUN activity (bilibo chair, laundry bin (sing row row row your boat and then dump them out when you say DREAM! Create a verbal routine with this and then WAIT before saying the last word to see if they will fill in the blank!)
#2) CREATE an END to ALL activities!
If something goes IN, it must come OUT to END the activity!
Clean up to create an END or have the little people / animals / mini objects go IN a bin, cup, bag, box, WHATEVER you have! Create a play routine with a clear and defined END to help motivate and encourage a child to begin!
Set a visual timer, if needed!
#3) Use a child's INTERESTS and STRENGTHS to lead the session! THEN expand!
Use INTRINSIC MOTIVATION to determine WHAT we play with that day!
JOIN IN on their activity by EXPANDING, MODELING LANGUAGE, and SHOWING THEM what to do with the objects - to BUILD off of what they want to do! (TAKE TURNS!)
Provide OPTIONS to decrease echolalia and follow through on the child's response / request (do what they chose / say)
USE MUSIC!!!!!!! Some children are GESTALT LANGUAGE LEARNERS meaning that they learn language in CHUNKS (phrases) instead of at the word / symbol level. Music is a GREAT way to target joint attention, increasing attention span, following directions, gross motor, fine motor, receptive language, turn taking, imitating gestures/words, completing verbal routines, making request, YOU NAME IT!
// Here are my FAVORITE songs to use in therapy:
Happy and You Know It
Hokey Pokey
Ring Around the Rosey
Freeze Dance
Head, Shoulders, Knees Toes
Wheels On the Bus
Ants Go Marching
Itsy Bitsy Spider

10/21: ATTN: since filming this video I have had the opportunity to learn from autistic adults that many AA prefer IDENTITY-first language in order to respect the challenges & strengths related to autism. With that being said, I respect the Individual differences In all neurodiverse communities and would like to support the autistic community In any way I can.

Thank you for the great tips!
Your videos have been so informative and provide so much rich ideas. Thanks so much! Side note, I agree with the child first terminology. A child should not be defined as their label, they are a child first and the label is just a small part of them.
Thank you! Also to people who say that the speed is fast, they can always put videos in .75 speed and it will be okay. For people like me whose first language is not English, I do this and enjoy the videos! She is awesome!
Oh wow! That’s a great idea!!! Thank you!!
Omg! You are the one that I've been looking for. This is a big help for those mothers that cant afford therapy. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I'm so happy you said how we can engage kids who want to line up toys, I didn't know how to engage with my little guy when he does this. I feel motivated to try that and the tunnel thing too!! Your videos have given me so much hope and encouragement!!
Absolutely! Add a little play routine before giving him each car or object, & help him imitate movements, sounds to engage! You can do it!!! Thank you for watching!!
Kelly you are amazing! Thank you!!! Helps a lot ! 😍🙏🙏😍 hugs 🤩
I’m so happy that this was helpful! I try to put as much info as possible in 10 minutes! Lol I’m glad it’s helpful! Thank you for watching!
I’m so glad I found your videos!! I wish you can be my son’s therapy!! Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks so much for the comment & for watching! ❤️
Definitely love your teaching style! Really gives hope that there still are providers out there that genuinely care🥰
For sure! Thank you for watching & for the nice comment!!
@@TheSpeechScoop Anytime! Looking forward to diving into more of your content 😁
Hi kelly! New sub here. I have a 19month old boy with speech delay, good thing i found your videos and i learned many things for my son. Thank you!
Hi Kelly! I want to thank you for providing amazing quality videos! I have learned so much from you! I am fresh out of graduate school and my practicum experiences were all online due to COVID. Your videos have served as an amazing resource for me when I need ideas for in person pediatric therapy. Thanks again and God bless!
Oh man! This totally made my night! I’m so happy they help, I never know what I should or shouldn’t be talking about! Lol cheers to you for making it through in tough times! 🥂 God’s plans are always perfect, no matter what ours are! 💕
Yes, so true! 😀🙌🏼
Thank you!!
Good evening thanks so much for your videos they’re really helpful. Do you do private therapy?
thank you so much for your videos! i've watched almost all of them. My son is 28 months and despite best efforts following everything you say he doesn't progress past "dododo dadada nanana mamama nonono" He makes eye contact and plays along excitedly. when i wait to prompt him for words like "mama up" or an animal sound in a book or "ready... set.... " he will look at me and wait then be annoyed i didn't say it and just be done with the game. Or he goes to extreme lengths to avoid having to ask for things. He will pull out his word cards to indicate his want but he won't attempt the words! He's currently in speech and music classes and awaiting EI but im at a loss. He understands simple commands, "toys away, shut door, etc" but just seems to have a genuine disinterest in attempting singular words despite endless repetition and simple talk and sign language etc etc.
Hmmm okay, thank you for all of this info! Let’s try 1-2 weeks of simply NO prompts / cues only modeling FUN onomatopoeias words & no pressure to imitate anything. Sometimes when we remove the pressure, a child will naturally blossom & become more confident in their skills! I’ve seen this only 1 other time & we did this, and it did work after day 10. So just no cues to imitate or repeat words “show me” what we want. Oh! Cookie! Okay! Yum! Cookie! Here’s a cookie!” & pretend to fall down saying “whoops!” Over & over again, on the swing “weee!” Out of the tub, “ta da!!” After drinking “ahh!” Just any fun onomatopoeia sounds you can make, focus on using those all day without pressure to imitate & let’s see what happens!!
Thank you for your videos! It gives me a lot of ideas to make play "fun" at home. Im just wondering if what other actvities can we do with a ring and basketball? That's my son's favorite. He's turning 2. 😊
Laundry bin game with basketball! Different size balls! Using painters tape to create lines where you have to shoot from! Hiding rings, matching them with colors, putting them in the fridge, ring toss! Bounce off games! Love that!! Also I have a whole list of recommended toys on amazon.com/shop/SpeedySpeech with lots of related toys!
Love your videos! Trying to find a nice gift for our daughters speech therapist more like a thank you gift. Is there anything in particular that someone in your field of work would really appreciate?
An SLP subscription box would be awesome! I know SpeechTreeCo has some, and there are a few others as well like SpeechCube! Or a giftcard to PeachieSpeechie.com! :) that’s so nice of you!
Please make a video to teach brocas aphasia parents due to stroke
Where is your shirt from?
I need speech therapy for my three year old. Where are you located?
Haha! I thought it was just me. Yes, your rate of speech increases with your enthusiasm. That's all right, I just back up and listen again. I can't keep up with Blippi, either!
Ahh!! So sorry!!! Every time I really do start off okay but like you said, I get excited!!! Lol thank you for your patience!
Super helpful. Your videos are great help to me .My child interest is numbers and letters and he loves songs. I found it hard to be creative about play ideas. If you have any tips pls help. Thanks a lot.
Absolutely! Definitely if they are interested in letters what I usually do is hide the letters and come up with new play routines like “ oh no where is A? There you are letter A! I saved you!” And put it in the puzzle! and sometimes I create a obstacle course where they have to run through the tunnel and get each letter and crawl back through to put it in the puzzle and then go get the next letter!
My speech therapist doesn't do any of that 😮...Ugh...and she Always makes the appointment short. She is the ONLY speech therapist in my network and I have to drive 2 cities over to get to her...
😓
Maybe a video on how to help a child say sorry less? Also, a video on how to help a child request for help using a hand prompt? I love your videos and they have helped me a lot. Thanks (:
Love these ideas! Thank you! What is he saying sorry for? Maybe take data on when he saying it and see if there’s another word he is meaning to say and provide that word!
Where do you get the bubbles?
Target or dollar tree wands are my favorite bubbles!
Please touch on how to
get beyond " well it has to be his
idea or he won't do anything".
I don't understand that.
Isn't the substance of the various therapies trying to help them to
enjoy the interaction and initiate
activities...as well as imitation, gestures
etc so if we are waiting on them to have
" the idea" we may wait till it's just too
late !!!
The caregiver refers to " has to be his idea" often
and the other day in speech therapy the
therapist tacitly agreed ??
It seems like a crutch for not successfully devising
ways to entice and encourage more
imitation, and productive actions.
Just don't see any ways to move beyond aimless playing and begin to see
some intention to this child's actions.
He is 5 1/2 , has gotten early intervention
since he was 2 and continuing
OT and Speech therapy and attended
pre K from age 3 and recently started
Kindergarten but wasn't allowed to
go to his district school due to their not
having services to take him on.
He has made very, very limited progress.
Non verbal and very limited communication of ANY
sort. No gestures, imitation, very few of the pre requisites to " talking".
Some increase in attention span
and eye contact. Any advice?
have you done a video about having sensory bins at home
czcams.com/video/vkd4gvHj3Kc/video.html
Just this one! Are you looking for more of “how to use a sensory bin in therapy” type of video?
@@TheSpeechScoop that would be a great video idea!
