Not To Be Underestimated
The impact of Speech and Language difficulties is often overlooked in terms of the impact on children’s mental health. Learning to understand, manage and communicate your emotions, perhaps also in the context of some potential tricky life experiences, is a big challenge for any child (or adult for that matter!). Struggling to connect with your actual language and the development of the mechanisms of speech can add immeasurable extra distress.
Generally speaking, The Communication Card Sets can be used to support a range of activities, including: Word Recognition, Syllable Counting, Letter sounds, Memory games, Story Telling, Alphabetising games, Letter writing practice, Small world/creative play symbols, Role play prompts, Pictionary, Word bingo, Creating Likes/Dislikes books, Communication symbols, Turn taking games, Sequencing, Scheduling, Instructions, Conversation Practice, and Sharing activities.
There are many other resources within each of our sections, which would also promote speech and language development, such as the Story Cards, which have both cards with both a picture plus the same picture with a label and resources in our Games section.
