Big Love ❤️

For nearly 3 years I've had the pleasure of working with this astoundingly motivated and precious angel and her wonderful, dedicated family. This young lady knows her mind and asserts her wishes and she won't do anything she doesn't want to do and I love it!!! We worked on pre-verbals for the time that was needed to build a strong foundation and now the joy of hearing her say her words and hear her voice!!! And YESSSSS this week she is now putting two words together!!!! Oh of course as well as: reading; spelling; being a competent signer and gridplayer user to boot. Family were pretty much told she would never speak. Poppycock!!!! She's surpassing all outcomes of course. This is why is do my job. Ever thankful for my training . I am so lucky to be in this profession. As I wind down the last therapy blocks of the year I am grateful and humbled.

This little superhero asked his mum to send me a picture of him in his Spiderman costume...we've worked hard on saying 'spiderman' not 'fiderman'. Meaningful therapy. And his EHCP SALT funding was agreed based on my second opinion SALT report. Happy days. Can't argue with evidence based strategies and recommendations. Boom...sorry I mean peowww peowww

Learning Resources are coming up with some gems right now. These little 'Attribute Apples' are another random hit. At first glance they look like nothing but my kids all seem to love them, a good autumn activity too. My toddlers enjoy dumping them in and out of a bowl; rolling; hiding; kicking them and pretending to feed toy animals. They are great for early verbs and core vocabulary at this age. My pre-schoolers like sorting by colour; size and physical attribute so they are great for sentence expansion e.g. 'I have a 'big, red apple'. This morning I'm working on more complex sentences and negatives with my 5 year old as well as similarities and differences. Thses apples are great for this time of play based language development e.g. 'My apple has no worm but it has a leaf' 'This red apple is medium sized but this red apple is small'. Of course I've made visual supports using see the photo 🍏🍎🐛☘️🌿

Another day another dollar! Treated myself to a new resource this half term. pirate surprise treasure game. So far it's a massive hit. Might just be the new cariboo. So many ways to use. Highly recommend
