Homework
After each therapy session a homework booklet will be given to you, the parent/carer.
You don’t need to demand any spoken sentences from your child.
How the homework should be carried out:
-
You should say something like “Let’s have a look at some picture together!”
-
Then, point to each picture one by one, leaving a short pause in case the child wants to describe the picture. If the child doesn’t say anything, then describe what is happening in the picture.
-
You should not ask the child to repeat the spoken sentences after you, but they can if they want to.
-
You should praise any and all attempts (eg. Single words) the child offers, but then say the full spoken sentence so that your child hears the correct version.
-
Children will learn from hearing these sentences repeated again and again, so don’t worry if it seems a bit repetitive.
The homework shouldn’t be taking more than 10 minutes. If your child loses interest, you can always attempt the homework the next day.
