Here at ESHC, our speech-language pathologists try to make every session fun and motivating for your child. The \u201cToca Tea Party\u201d app has been a huge hit, with no mess to clean up! This app is generally used with children from about ages 2-7. \u201cToca Tea Party\u201d hasn\u2019t been designed specifically for speech-pathologists, but it gets used often here at ESHC. Here\u2019s some of the ways we incorporate it into our sessions:
\n\u2022\tLanguage:
\n o\t Prepositions: Because you can move objects around, it\u2019s a great way to incorporate targets like \u201cin, on, out, under, next to\u201d and more.
\n o\t Following or Giving Directions: The app is designed to simulate a tea party. Each person can pick or ask for a specific plate, cup, drink, and yummy treat to eat. It\u2019s a great way to practice following directions like \u201cPlease give me the white cup and the pink plate.\u201d
\n o\t Taking Turns: A child can practice taking turns by pretending to eat a snack, pouring drinks, or selecting which tablecloth to use
\n\u2022\tArticulation
\n o\t Find words with your sound: A child may be asked find items (with the clinician\u2019s help) that contain his\/her sound. For a child working on \/s\/ and \/z\/, they can practice their sound in words like \u201csweet, spill\u201d. This is also a great way to build in phonological awareness and the \u201csounds\u201d within words.
\n o\t Make a sentence: To provide more context while practicing his\/her sounds, the child or clinician might make a sentence about the scene on the app. This helps with attention, as the child is often more engaged than simply repeating sentences from the clinician. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
