INTENSIVE SUMMER SPEECH PROGRAM WITH THE SMARTPALATE TECHNOLOGY

Research has shown that intensive therapy can make the difference to bring about positive change for the better.  Getting the right mix of engagement and learning is what intensive programs seek.  In cognitive psychology, it says, combination of factors lead to short moments of learning, understanding, and recognition. This micro-genesis of a learning moment has been characterized as a “dynamic tricky mix” (Nelson, 2001).  Mastering and improving oneself “on-line” can be learned.  These “on-line” adjustments during intervention will improve a person’s performance. 

You or your child will get the most out of speech therapy with the SmartPalate Technology. "On-line adjustments are made well with this technology.

Important Parent- Child Interaction

Summer is fast approaching so it's important for parents to schedule some engaging activities.
Remember the ABC rule.
Plan active activities like sports camps.
Teach basic emerging skills.  and
let them have a creative outlet.

Website review

Here is a speech website worthy of review.  It's always nice when speech companies share their best ideas.
Check out their free homework ideas to share with parents.
Here are a few of their ideas, check out the website for 12 more ideas.

  1. Design your own board game: This is another family art project. Children can create their own board games by drawing a board game inside a folder and decorating it with stickers, etc. The child plays his or her own game while drawing flashcards.
  2. Guess what?: The parent describes the targeted words and the child guesses the word (for example, “It is a yellow animal that quacks”).
  3. Draw or act out words: Same as above, but the targeted words are acted out or drawn.
