Break it down…

again. One of my most frequently searched posts was about home made flash cards. Very simple to do. Our home made flashcards are just snapped pictures of things in Luke’s world. Visuals of items can be very effective for learning words. I had Luke’s speech therapist breakdown the words in the most minimal way on up to two word phrases. Here’s more on homemade flashcards and ways to break words down.

I know, gross a flashcard of our toilet. But this is an important word for a toddler who needs to be able to communicate, I have to go potty!

Making home made flash cards is a fun easy way to help your child learn to say words that are relevant in their life! So much of learning process with Apraxia is visual cues. We use the Kaufman cards along with our home made cards. What we did is just go around taking pictures of everything that Luke uses and finds important in his daily life. Everything from his bed, bath tub, toothbrush, shoes, socks, juice, milk, pets, siblings, books, toys, anything that he would desire to say. Then I took the cards to Luke’s speech therapist and had her break down the words to their simplest form. She broke the words down from basic all the way up to two word phrases. They are very helpful.
