Tools for Speech Therapy to Aid with At-Home Practice

Tools for Speech Therapy to Aid with At-Home Practice


The key to getting the most out of your home practice is first to understand your child's goals and then utilise specific speech therapy tools to help them work on those speech and language goals at home.
You may teach your child several communication and linguistic abilities by modelling and recasting. These materials allow your child to focus on the rules they need to learn rather than their mistakes, making them our preferred at-home practice techniques.
Modelling
One of our favourite (and most effective) teaching tactics is "modelling," which provides parents with the courage to provide at-home "therapy."
Modelling can assist all parents, even those whose children do not have a language impediment. Modelling can help your child develop expressive language skills, expand their vocabulary, improve their intelligibility, and better understand the "rules" of language and grammar.
Recasting
Recasting is one of the most accessible and practical skills we can teach parents to use outside treatment sessions. It fits within the "modelling" category, highlighting the "show, don't tell" philosophy. It allows your child to hear more specific and demonstrative language while providing more possibilities for them to listen and learn how English works.
Utilising Tools for Home Practice
Helping your child achieve speech and language goals at home should be manageable. With the assistance of your speech pathologist and the necessary equipment, you may provide effective "therapy" for your child's language and communication development at home.
Keep in mind that you are your child's most important teacher. They learn so much from you, and by using modelling and recasting tools, you can have constructive conversations with your child that not only help them develop essential skills but also show them that you are paying attention.
