Core vocabulary is an evidenced-based set of words particularly useful for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users. I've personally seen huge growth in expressive language skills of AAC users after only a few therapy sessions of instruction with core words.

This activity is taken directly from Bubble's speech therapy where we are working on joining words and increasing her sentence structure. We use the instructions "at the front" and "at the back" because our goal is to increase speech not teach the concept of prepositions but the wording can easily be changed to "in front" and "behind" to teach these instead. You could also create boxes to the sides to teach left and right, beside or next to. Make a row of boxes to teach first, second/middle and last. WE USED: * electrical tape (masking or painters tape would work great too, I just couldn't find any) * scissors * small objects * toy with a clear front and back * paper and pen/marker Using electrical tape we made two squares on our rug with space in between for our chosen toy. I then gave Bubble verbal instructions one by one about where to put each of the sorting items (in the front or back). I encouraged her to verbalise as she placed each one. We used wooden threading beads as our objects so I could add in some incidental learning. For example instead of "put this in the front" I could say "put the blue dog in the front". It also gave us more to work with later when we did the game expressively. If your child is finding the concept you are teaching a bit tricky you could use different coloured tape for each square to make the difference in position more visual, then change to the same coloured tape once they have the hang of it. TO PLAY THIS GAME RECEPTIVELY: Give your child the sorting pieces and verbal instructions (you could use paper and markers to make visual cues in the form of written words or pictures if these would help). For example "put the orange cow at the back", "put the yellow duck at the front". Encourage your child to verbalise what they are doing if they want to, but don't force it. Alternate between front and back randomly so your child cannot establish a predictable pattern. TO PLAY THIS GAME EXPRESSIVELY: Once all of the pieces are sorted ask them "where is the orange cow?" and encourage them to verbalise ("the orange cow is at the back"). Start small and slowly expand their sentences. For example begin with "at the back", progressing to "the cow is at the back", to "the orange cow is at the back", then "the orange cow is at the back of the dog" etc...

Hanjie puzzles, also known as griddler puzzles or nonograms, are a real test of your logic skills! Each hanjie provides a grid. The numbers alongside the grid tell you how many squares in that row (from left to right) or column (from top to bottom) must be shaded in, in blocks of that number. A comma means that you must leave at least one square blank between the blocks. We've tested our puzzles carefully and know that you can use logic for every step of the puzzle, so no guessing! We suggest you use a pencil and shade lightly, and have a rubber (eraser) handy. It can be helpful to put a little dot or cross in any square which you know must be blank, and to cross off the numbers as you go. On most of the puzzles we give the kids a hint to get them started … look for the arrow and start with that column.

I have posted about this before, but I REALLY love the Pass the Pumpkin song/activity. This year, I came up with a new powerpoint for my first graders and I used it just this morning and am really happy with how well the students sang and played. One thing I love about this song is that it is "safe" for schools that do not celebrate Halloween; there is the word "spooky" but that is, technically, NOT a Halloween word. I hope you enjoy the slides below.. save each one and put into a ppt. or email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the pdf! The directions and song are on slide 2, slide 3 is a beat slide and then subsequent slides show the progression from iconic rhythms to actual notation. The final slides show what instruments play on the various parts of the song. Happy Fall!

My mother is a therapist. Growing up I was not a fan of her career choice. She was always talking about feelings.
