Speech therapy for 3 years olds should be all about exploring toys whilst doing some structured tasks at the table - generally, this is when children start to sit at the table. A good rule of thumb is 50% on the table, and 50% off the table playing.
Toys that you can use for developing play skills:
Cookset
Doctor’s kit
Carparks
Dollhouse
Vending machine
Zingo
Smatch
Not limited to the above, you can use any toy that has some sort of sequence to it. For example for the washing machine kit, you have to wash, hang, and then iron. And also anything that requires pretending, such as a doctor’s kit where children take on different roles.
What language level is your child at?
Is he non-verbal? Teach imitation, PECS, and gestures to help him communicate better
Is she at the 1-word level?
Target more verbs and link into VO
Teach more subjects and target SV and then SVO
Target specific sentence structures e.g. “someone is verb-ing something” - “Mommy is eating an apple”
Instead of “what, target questions like: “who”, “where”, “what function”, “what doing”. Ask situational questions, like “who’s wearing the blue shirt” so that he actually has to think!
Longer sentences - recast what they say into longer sentences. Whenever she says a sentence, say it once more but in a different way, longer or in the correct grammatical structure.
Having speech problems? Check out this link for the sounds that he should be able to say: www.asha.org/public/speech/de...
In general, find a qualified speech therapist to know the reason why your child can’t pronounce certain sounds. Because the way of treating these sounds depends on knowing the reason.
Whilst waiting for speech therapy to be available you build phonological awareness with the following:
Read books that rhyme
Clap at each syllable
Sing more songs together - Jak na to + styl

my favorite sentence in the whole video: " they should play a lot more and learn by playing, and then THE LANGUAGE WILL COME TO FACILITATE THAT" .
Currently enrolled my girl at a school were they practice that🤗
Very helpful video . My son is 3 he receives OT & Speech therapy outside of school and in his prek3/headstart school/ early educational school he’s in a special education class with children with extra needs my son got evaluated from the school district and they basically rated him to be Autistic ( not a diagnosis) but just so they know where he stands and which class will be good for him.
He receives speech therapy once a week for 30 min in school & 45 min for both OT and speech outside of school. He understands more now and has been trying to pronounce words that start with the B like ( ball, bee, buzz,) some A,D,M,P . Doesn’t say the complete word just does like the Bhuhh sound which is great . He does hand gestures know some sign language just the basic like , please, help, potty, more, all done, mom, dad, food, open, paint.. a few other la but sometimes forgets certain ones .
It can be difficult at times but trying our best to get him the help he needs.
I notice him making more sounds now as before he wouldn’t really he would just be quiet the whole time . Thank you for your video it really does help 😊
Best video ever! You are a God sent!
Thank you for your kind words
This is gold; great post my man. Super helpful. Keep up the good fight
Thank you so helpful
Glad it helped
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Ok I doubt anyone is really listening but I’m going to watch this video two more times and make a plan and check back in 6 weeks.
Currently my son has just turned 3 speaking 1 word mainly. I know he can say at least 100 words because of a the book my first 100 words but deffo not sentences.
Sending positive results for everyone watching this!
Xxxx
you got this =D
Guys I basically forgot about this video and will report back in 5 weeks. I will say though since I’ve been using the clap method he now says pronounces things way better!! Xxx
@@thenightingale580 Please keep us updated! xx
@@thenightingale580 update 👀
@TheNightingale I hope it goes well. I just found this video and need my daughter to speak sentences.
Thank you! My son is 3 going through speech therapy. His main struggle is receptive language. Would love videos on that as well.
that's a good idea! thanks!
Mine too... are you noticing good response? I am worried all the time for this..
Me too, My son is 3 years old now, but I am feeling he is not responding almost nothing to what we asked. how are your son now?
@@lidyawang905 I worked with him A LOT, he’s no longer in speech but his understanding is so good. Still not at a full 5 year old level but he’s not far from his peers.
@@danyamarie5562 I am glad to hear that and I am so happy for your son. I can imagine how much afford had you put into you son. To hear that its just give me hopes.
Your videos are great. Thank you for your tips! my 3 and half-year-old is speaking in sentences (3-5 words), and his expressive language has improved a lot. However, He needs to get better with pronunciation of some letters, he is especially having a hard time with the F and K sound, Any tips or ideas? He has been receiving speech therapy for almost a year, but I started seeing the best progress when I decided to enroll him for preschool a month ago. Social interaction is a great incentive. My boy has come a long way the last year... he can say at least 300 words. When He started speech therapy when he was 2.5 years, he was saying only about 50 words. I would recommend every mom to spend as much time as possible doing language development activities at home, as reading stories for them, pretend play... and please NO TV OR SCREEN TIME! my son used to spend hours a day watching "educational videos" but I am certain that his speech delay was due to his exposure to screens. Today, we limit screen time to only 45-60min maximum a day, and my 17month old boy is not allowed to watch more than 30min/day.
yep for /f/ and /k/ sounds, your speech therapist should be working on them? If you need more help, email me: ming@agentsofspeech.com
My son is 3.2 and he is delayed speech due to excessive screen time....from last 2 months he is going to school to cope up with his problems...and he is getting better with this decision. ....can u plz tell which therapies you have provided to your son to speak because my son is getting better but he has no speach yet not a single word plz help me out with your own experience with your son....what you did for him
3rd! My son is about to turn 3 years old this april... we've been on a screen time detox for 2 weeks. A lot of interaction, role-paying, child led talking, and book reading. It's very tiring but I can definitely say that there has been improvement with his behavior, empathy, and he's now more keen to say new words. Screen time detox is way to go!!!
This is my dream job
Thank you doc..
not a doc, but you're welcome
When to ask them questions? And how to teach them asking and answering questions? Your video is very helpful.
This depends on your childs language level, usually we teach those after the child can speak 2-3 word phrases
very good video
Thanks
Facing same speech delay with our son 3 years old, therapist advised us that he needs occupational therapy, now after 1 month there is lot of improvement like eye contact, he listens. Now we wants him to understand alphabets in Hindi & English & start speaking. We have to spend a lot of time with our kids & keep mobile, TV etc away from them...
Hello do he chant rhymes when ever he's alone
Hello can u update how did it go
Thank you so much you are Awesome 😎
You are!
Curious to know what tips you have for highly active children. My three year old prefers very physical play like climbing, running and somersaulting. Makes focused play really hard to get through.
This is my problem. I can't get the kid to focus on anything, he's an extremely active little boy. I'd love some tips for this situation as well
my son is 3 year's old but difficult to follow with other children in time of speech
Hello, my son is 3 but he has a tracheostomy, due to a birth injury. Do you have any suggestions for developing speech for children that are tracheostomy or vent bound?
It would be best to teach the child to use gestures first or some kind of AAC (search on Google).
Speech should come after, when your child has stabilized.
My daughter can say over 200 words, she even tried to read words on any products she see in the kitchen. Now she repeats what we say but still cannot form her own sentences most of the time. But she will tell us what she needs in one or two words. Any tips to keep her going?

I spoke with my daughters speech therapist today because she let me know that starting January payments would be out of pocket. I am a stay at home mom and cannot afford 250 a month. She was very insistent that I pay out of pocket and that progress would cease of I did not continue. I asked for twice a month. They said no. I cannot afford more than that. I am working like crazy to get her around children and even taking her to the library and my sons school for playtime. I feel I am doing so much work and it has really helped but they insist she will fall behind if I don’t continue with them but I am uncomfortable with the pushy attitude. I love your video and suggestions. Are you an advocate for online speech therapy? Do you offer any yourself ?

Can these methods be used for autistic kids at 3?
Yes
My son turned 3 in March. He “talks” all the time, but we can’t understand most of it. We have picked out about 45 words he uses daily, and about 30 more not as frequently used, along with about 19 two-three word phrases. We have had two separate failed speech evaluations so far with two different locations. He walked in the rooms, saw all the toys, and that was it. He lost his focus and just wanted to play. He would not sit and the table and do their flip charts or answer questions. The therapists didn’t even try to work with him through play, they just wanted their paperwork done. They asked us a million questions while he was completely upset. It was awful. I’m trying to work with him on my own at home. We are getting his hearing tested this month to rule that out. His pediatrician says there are zero autism red flags, that he just needs speech therapy. But I can’t seem to find one that doesn’t want to fit him inside their box. He will not walk in a room full of new toys he’s never seen before and sit at a table with flip charts. He’s a toddler, he wants to play. Am I crazy for thinking that is completely normal?? I’m beyond frustrated.
Yea it's normal for children to act that way. So the speech evaluations yielded no results? That's crazy.
@@AgentsofSpeech I haven’t heard a word back from either on their report or plan of care. It doesn’t matter, I’m not going back to them. After I started intently working with him at home, just this week alone he has said over 15 new words, and last night he said a new full sentence all on his own with zero prompts. I’m encouraged. His hearing eval is in two weeks, we’ll go from there.
@@realnurse2696 this is awesome. How long did it take to reach this stage ? I am also on similar boat
@@ashishkorde Once I started intently working with him on my own, we saw progress within a few weeks. He passed his hearing eval perfectly, but we also got his eyes tested. Come to find out, he is extremely far-sighted and needed glasses. The eye doc told us he couldn’t see our mouths properly as an infant and didn’t learn how to form his words properly. He is improving daily with his new glasses. We are still struggling with sounds, but we are now seeing an occupational therapist as well.
My three years old still baby talk and say just mama papa, I don't know how to help him
Mera baby 3 year ka h phle ekdm clear Bolta tha bt ab kuchh month se atakne LGA h KY kru bht pareshn hu
Hello sir my son has turned three last month he is facing speech delay but when I teach him something he learns it very quickly except the social interaction words he's very good at learning new bookish concepts new words but when it comes to teach him how to respond to someone's instructions he just went blank he just look at the faces and stay quiet when ever he is asked what you have done at school today things like this makes me very upset will he be able to do talk like other normal kids 😔
Hello Shaifali,
Hope your son is doing well and better at communicating with you.
I, myself, have a 2 year 9 month old who is very good at learning new things however if I ask him about how was his day at school or what did you do he just stays quiet.
Are there any things you tried to improve this. Did school help?
Please help me with any information you have.
Best wishes 😊
@@sahibasil9633 Hii Sahiba first of all take a deep breath and just exhale and tell yourself your child is just a lil delayed nothing more than that if someone says that why is your child not responding or interacting much just smile and ignore you don't even have to react over it. Why I am telling all this to you is because when I was going through all this no one was there to make me understand what's happening with my child i was totally stressed also mentally drained from morning to evening i only used to think about it but slowly and gradually i started noticing change in my son's communication earlier he don't even know how to communicate with basic daily need based words after he became 2.11 he started telling i want this i want that this is hot my food is spicy give me water then I realised if he has reached this far he can do whatever he wants to i was the who has underrated her child so much now he is 3.6 and has started going to school I started sending his school from 3 yrs only now six months have already been passed he's doing well in the school though he do not communicate with kids in his class that much also not even share things what happened at school but when I ask him what you did at school today he gives me a three words and three sentences reply tiffin khaya tha swings liya tha study kiya tha and that's enough for me as a mother to know about his school activities jada nhi puchna chahti mai i don't want him to get confused his teacher says he do not talk to others but when he need to go for washroom or he wants to drink water he tells her that thing so I am still in that stage where i am hoping to get his communication better but today I do not behave like that panicked mother at all i am cherishing his childhood in every possible way coz these days will never come. Things i did and even doing today for improving his communication and language skills I use to take him park every evening i try to mingle his up with kids in the neighbourhood i took him to kitchen while cooking every activity i do on daily basis i involve him in it that's what I am doing with him I hope you will also be sharing a positive feedback after one year on this comment box only stay positive stay strong n my best wishes are with you 😊👍🏻
My 3 year 1month old sings rhymes and songs but she only talks using single word. Like if she wants to play with a car. She says CAR but not I WANT CAR or MOMMY CAR. Should I be worried???? She uses lot of new words but yeah all single and not frame a sentence with at least two words or more. She doesn't communicate with us. She just says a single word about anything she needs like CAR, HORSE, DOG, POTATO, CHOCOLATE, WATER, BATH, SLEEP, PARK, BUBBLES...just by pointing it.
This is my same issue! My daughter will sing songs but not say sentences yet. She will be 3 in July.
Does watching Tv can cause speach dealey
no, but the lack of quality communication would
@@AgentsofSpeech how many days can baby for get TV i stoped know

Hello please help me
How can we help?
Is using cellphone makes the child to have speech delay? I have a baby 18month old he loves watching nursery rhymes and tv. Please give some advice or tips. Thank you.
I watched your videos and it's very helpful :) please upload more videos about speech delay specially on what activities will help them to speak.
No, cellphone doesn't cause speech delay. Try to watch with your child. And make sure that you hold it, pause it sometimes and teach your child to use language to request for it.
We have videos specifically on how to use toys: czcams.com/video/u1Cq4OJeQG4/video.html
