Start with the activity, then choose the material.
For a turn-taking sound game, ask the therapist to select an age-appropriate sound toy the child enjoys. Agree on a clear way for the child to say stop or choose a quieter activity.
A useful question to bring to the team
What is the communication or play goal, and is there a quieter, simpler way to work on it?
Bring a recent example from home or school. What did your child want to do? What could they already do? Where did they need help? Your observations help us connect the discussion to a goal that matters to your family.
Connect understanding, practice and progress.
At Pinnacle, your child’s self-sufficient, mainstream-included life gives the plan its direction. PinnacleAI® connects measurement, a child-specific plan, integrated therapies, everyday practice and review. The next step should have a clear purpose, an appropriate level of support and a way to review whether it is helping.
- Speech Therapy: discuss the relevant professional support.
- Everyday Therapy: connect an agreed activity to family routines.
- Growing independence: keep useful participation at the centre of progress.
