Currently, we are playing and working on a hard floor. Most of my students have sensory issues and find it difficult to sit on the hard surface. A rug will soften the floor and enclose an area-specific for play therapy.
The sand and water table will create a great way to use and model language during play, again pairing the motor activities with the language model. Creating more opportunities to communicate.
We use a cognitive-behavioral approach in speech therapy by using manipulatives to increase a child's interest and create a situation for him/her to ask/request a specific item or part of an item. Having several manipulatives to choose from stimulates a child's interest and creativity allowing language to expand.
