How can we move away from “I want…” sentences? 👇
✅ Use core boards to open up more sentence options - not just requesting.
✅ Remember communication is more than requesting. It’s commenting, labelling, protesting, expressing and more!
✅ Have simple scripts and phrases ready to model during play.
My Vocab in Play resource helps you combine core + fringe phrases naturally in everyday activities ✨

Taste-safe alternatives for your RISE sessions! Round 3!
Sometimes we must swap out our go-to resources, for safety purposes!
When it comes to using resources for sensory purposes, we always still take into consideration allergens, size of the item, and PICA and mouthing tendencies.
Here are a few of our go-to swaps, what are yours?
Share yours in the comments below 👇🏼
If you’d like more information on RISE therapy sessions, comment RISE and I will send you a link to our free guide and information on our upcoming training!

This is my favourite term, with my favourite topics! Under the sea, seaside, and ice cream shops!
☀️ My vocab in play document can help to support language development.
☀️ It has a range of play scenarios such as water, sand, bubbles, trains, etc.
☀️ The document can take away the stress of finding new language to explore and change up the language focus.
☀️ Each page has core language, fringe language and a mixture of phrases to be modelled and used in play or when exploring sensory items.
If you’d like me to send you a link to my document, which has a free bubbles 🫧 download! Then comment SAND.
What’s your final theme / topic of the year? Let me know below! ⬇️
