Providing new, interesting, and developmentally-appropriate activities are important ways to keep therapy sessions fresh and hold a young child’s attention. At this time of year, this can be easily accomplished by incorporating winter-related activities into your own therapy routines. If you’d like for me to do the planning for you for lots of different children for practically the entire month, I have 2 fantastic projects that will provide lots of FUN speech therapy ideas for January and February for toddlers at different developmental levels.

Valentine’s Day & Winter Structured Teaching Guide

These simple cognitive activities will help a young child build attention, participation, and task completion skills through early structured teaching opportunities. This information is appropriate for use by committed parents, therapists, and other professionals who work with toddlers with language delays and other developmental
concerns. Based on the TEACCH model, each “task” contains a list of easily obtainable materials, set up directions, and detailed strategies for making these activities productive learning opportunities for both the child and you! Troubleshooting tips are also included in case a child is having difficulty completing the task.

Primary goals and several secondary goals are listed for each of the tasks. (Please keep in mind that the requirements for goal writing vary widely from program to program. Use the suggestions included as your starting point for writing goals according to your own agency’s guidelines.)

These activities are loosely organized by developmental level. The easier activities are at the beginning of this 13 page written guide. The complexity will increase with each new task.

Some of the activities contain materials that could pose a choking hazard or injury for young children. Close adult supervision is absolutely required.

ASHA FILING is not available for this course, but you can still immediately generate a certificate to use for ASHA maintenance, state licensure, or program credentialing.
