Developing Spoken Language Using Cause & Effect Toys

In this episode of The Working Therapist, Haden dives into some of her favorite cause & effect toys for language development. Speech professionals often see children around 2 years of age who are not yet using words. These children often have very short attention spans and frequently tantrum to get what they need. Whether their lack of language is associated to a diagnosis or not, effective intervention is needed to teach these children how to request, initiate communication, and attend. Throughout this episode, Haden shares intervention strategies with some of her favorite toys to take children with little to no language use all the way to social-pragmatic activities. This is a great listen for therapists, teachers, and parents alike.
