SPEECH THERAPY NEWS

Speech Pathology Team

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents and carers for their hard work and persistence with communication this year.

To our wonderful students, well done for all your hard work and effort.  We look forward to working with you all in 2019!

More tips for communication:

• Imitate your child’s sounds and actions.  This is a great way to get an interaction going! It can encourage your child to notice you and even imitate you if they are ready.
• Use Aided Language Displays (e.g. Visual schedules, PECS, Coreboard and Mealtime mats) to support your child’s communication at home (please let your child’s classroom teacher know if you need another copy for home).
• Model, Model, Model! Modelling will support your child’s language by providing them with examples on how to communicate (e.g. Pointing to ‘more’ on a Coreboard, or giving the child words to request ‘I want help’.)
