\t\t\t\tSummer Fun sessions have been in full swing here at Evergreen Speech and Hearing Clinic!\u00a0 For these themed days, we bring a summer camp style indoors to our speech and language sessions.\u00a0 Now, it may seem a little strange to be having so much fun while still working on speech and language goals.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a little more information in this 5-part blog series about how your child\u2019s speech-language therapist may be incorporating your child\u2019s goals into each themed session.<\/p>\n

Beach Day<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Talking about the ocean is a great way to work on language skills like: categorizing (e.g., \u201cWhat would we find at the beach?\u201d); cause and effect relationships (e.g., \u201cUh oh!\u00a0 We forgot the sunscreen!\u00a0 What might happen next?\u201d); descriptions (e.g., \u201cTell me what the ocean feels\/looks\/sounds like.\u201d). It\u2019s also a great time to work on stuttering by practicing the child\u2019s stuttering techniques while telling a story.<\/p>\n

For older children, goals might include a conversation using vocabulary words about a recent beach vacation or making a persuasive argument about why school should be held at the beach. For children working on specific speech sounds, activities might include brainstorming about beach words that contain their sound. They might also make some silly sentences \u201cSammy the Seal swipes the stinky crab!\u201d to see if they can keep making the sound accurately while they are having fun. As always, the child\u2019s learning during play is of the most importance, as we all learn best when we are having fun!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
