Halloween Celebration

While we celebrate Halloween this week in SpOT, we will also be incorporating some fun activities, songs, and games that target are language and occupational therapy goals. We will be reinforcing fall and Halloween vocabulary while using tag bags (special bags that have various clasps for little hands to practice opening and closing) to discover pictures hidden inside. Sequencing and simple body parts will be practiced as the students make paper jack-o-lanterns. We look forward to another great week of SpOT and hope everyone is enjoying the nice fall weather!

Speech and Language Tip of the Month

Sing simple songs with your child, especially ones with actions, like “Row Row Row your Boat”, and build in opportunities for him to participate. This is a fun way for him to learn to take his turn in an interaction, as well as to learn new words.Once your child is familiar with the song, pause before a high point and wait for him to respond. To take his turn during songs, your child may wriggle, make a sound, look at you, point to something or perform an action. Accept anything as his turn and then continue immediately. The most important thing is that he takes a turn and has fun while doing it.
