As technology continues to advance, children are gaining more access to portable devices with screens. Children are often happy and quiet with a device in their hands, but we know, children do not learn best from screens (Da Silva, 2016). To guide parents in determining how much screen time is “too much”, professional organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have stepped in with recommendations. The AAP recommends avoiding screens for children younger than 18 to 24 months, except when video chatting with family. The AAP also recommends limiting screen use for preschool children, ages 2 to 5, to just one hour a day of high-quality programming. It has also developed the Family Media Use Plan for older kids, in which parents and children negotiate limits and boundaries around screen usage. Similarly, the WHO recommends no screens for kids under 2, and less than an hour a day for children ages 2 to 5. Refer to the suggested screen time chart to see what is recommended for the age group of your child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1623806087275-5UVDE655KFLJ507JP1R5/Screen+Shot+2021-06-15+at+9.14.23+PM.png News - The Effects of “Screen Time” in Children and the Importance of Parent Monitoring - Make it stand out This graph shows the effects of screen time on language development.

This study found that toddlers who were exposed to more handheld screen time were more likely to have delayed expressive language skills (i.e., the child’s ability to say words and sentences was delayed). This study also found that for every 30-minute increase in daily handheld screen time, there was a 49% increased risk of expressive language delay (Da Silva, 2016). Another study surveyed over 1,000 parents of children under the age of two. They found that toddlers who watched more videos said fewer words. For each additional hour of videos that eight- to 16-month-old infants watched in a day, they said an average of six to eight fewer words (Da Silva, 2016). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1623805249044-XW9X10BE9SPGZLHK5Z44/Screen+Shot+2021-06-15+at+9.00.34+PM.png News -

Back to School & Speech Therapy - Establish “Good Listening Rules” The Good Listening Rules are the foundation for good behavior in my speech room and act as a positive behavior management strategy. I begin by prompting students to define what a good listener is. We create a list of rules that good listeners should follow during speech sessions. Rules can be simple for younger students or complex for older students. Have one student write down the rules and review them at the beginning of each session so that your expectations are clear. Provide models and prompting as necessary. At the end of each session, students can earn a good listening check to work towards a reward or prize. When they earn ten good listening checks they can earn their reward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631383954659-IPDX054FP4RQRJOK6QEC/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+2.11.04+PM.png News - Back to School & Speech Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631368154949-4QXF0R708E0Q7UHS0SW1/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+9.48.39+AM.png News - Back to School & Speech Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631374010588-YCF5VWW6VY7IK2GINBKW/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+11.26.40+AM.png News - Back to School & Speech Therapy To build rapport there are many activities to connect with your students and to get to know them better. My favorites include board games and crafts! These activities are fun and motivating. Before taking a turn in a game have the student answer an all about me question to earn their turn. This could also be done while completing a craft. Each time a student answers a question about themselves, they can earn the next piece in the craft. For older students, have them write their responses using a pencil and paper or even a whiteboard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631374482305-WK3PXH9FLWGC7ZRD83DG/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+11.34.35+AM.png News - Back to School & Speech Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drmbtelespeechtherapy.com/news/free-resources-for-improving-memory monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631388698602-86I7B7B07WH3PKEF6IXQ/Simon-Says-Ideas-Printable.jpg News - Free Resources for Improving Memory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631386931787-HSIXNSXJU1FGNVI4PSRH/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+3.01.14+PM.png News - Free Resources for Improving Memory - Strategies to improve long term memory -Involve as many of the senses as possible (multi-sensory approach). -Chunk information e.g. 123 456 789 instead of 123456789. -Provide meaningful associations to new information. -Link Information to previous knowledge. -Repeat new information several times in different manners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631386226850-5KGWCJ641UB9S1EICG2M/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+2.50.16+PM.png News - Free Resources for Improving Memory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631389876423-XHX8G3A4BMEM87GZTD1P/712EKqhboiL._AC_SL1500_.jpg News - Free Resources for Improving Memory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1631389179532-TRFRRCXM3QR9AN9Y7Z6X/Screen+Shot+2021-09-11+at+3.39.29+PM.png News - Free Resources for Improving Memory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drmbtelespeechtherapy.com/news/how-to-help-with-homework monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633744382854-846250DD9BVGR6XPAH6C/GettyImages-79669919-homework-help_cropped.jpg News - Helping with Homework - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633745116846-V0ET0IF7RRF3GW2YYMED/Homework-Help.png News - Helping with Homework - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633747148920-UK33INR2OIAUJJ32ZHY3/images-1.jpeg News - Helping with Homework https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633747922938-78D8RT48D358PUEATCB8/tmp_qxa6A3_14f4a16a75d0b4e3_GettyImages-1174066054.jpg News - Helping with Homework - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633748073208-4NGPZ8TLN43UM3VPD458/images-2.jpeg News - Helping with Homework https://www.drmbtelespeechtherapy.com/news/communication-activities-for-non-verbal-children monthly 0.5 2021-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/45673f32-a610-494e-827d-174bd66653e5/Screen+Shot+2021-11-19+at+10.47.32+AM.png News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children Group animals based on where they live (i.e. the farm, zoo, sea). Discuss the size of animals (i.e. bigger/smaller). Use puppets or a toy farm set to play with animals. Model vocabulary (i.e. names of animals/sounds). Make sounds like “moo” when playing with the cow or “oink” when playing with the pig, this can be motivating for children to mimic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/bcbf6c69-fd5a-423e-bfe5-378341e40176/Screen+Shot+2021-11-19+at+11.05.27+AM.png News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children - Sensory Bins Sensory bins allow children to use multiple senses while exploring their environment. Sensory bins can be made with a variety of materials including rice, beans, flour and water and even hair gel. Create bins that allow clients to search for items targeting vocabulary of common objects. Practice CORE vocabulary - More, Help, Need, Want, Go, Eat, Play https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/ca01b406-a1ec-42f0-99e9-7bd8d00a50e0/Screen+Shot+2021-11-19+at+10.41.18+AM.png News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children Classify or group items by color or shape with your toddler. Use buttons to practice sorting and grouping by color and then see if they are able to do it again by shape. Support your child by modeling what you would like them to do. Put all the circles together and explain what you are doing. Other activities to practice this skill include using a shape sorter to identify shapes and colors, going on a scavenger hunt to find items a specific shape or color and using Play-Doh to practice colors. Children love to manipulate Play-Doh to make different shapes in different sizes (i.e. a big red ball). Paint is also a fun way to engage nonverbal children. Encourage the child to request paint pictures by pointing or making a vocalization such as the “p” sound for paint, you can also encourage your child to use sign language to sign “more” when they want more. Dot paint is a great idea for young children. Using finger paints and a paint brush can also be lots of fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/9e1e81a7-52a8-4c69-b194-68d89ae7ce66/Screen+Shot+2021-11-19+at+11.12.38+AM.png News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children - Daily Journals Even non-verbal children have something to say, and journaling can be a valuable tool that school-based therapists can incorporate. Journals can be written, or simply pictures and illustrations for children who are unable to write. Use writing prompts to stimulate ideas. Prompts might include Favorite Foods, I Feel ____ When ____, My Best Friend Is ____. Experience Books – When a child goes on a field trip or has a unique experience, that activity can be utilized as an ongoing teaching tool through the use of Experience Books. During the field trip, take lots of pictures of the things the child sees and does. Then print those pictures out with short sentences that help to recall and describe the experience. Picture books can help children to identify objects and emotions they may not experience on a daily basis, but that they can recall and are familiar with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/1633748899999-XLC7H7IYHBQJTXS9JO2V/images.jpeg News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f721783b2c73b74a6b26859/78e19f96-fd02-415a-aac5-b8805ba3a9e1/Screen+Shot+2021-11-19+at+11.00.13+AM.png News - Communication Activities for Non-Verbal Children - Routine Boards Use visual boards with single-step actions to help teach common routines.
