Early Intervention Speech Therapy: Why Does It Look Like Just Playing?

December 1, 2022 by jennifer 2 Comments

“Many parents are surprised when their early intervention speech therapist comes to their home and starts playing with their child and does not sit down at a table and practice flash cards of new words. 

Parents may be concerned because their child is not talking, but what may be of more concern to an EI Speech therapist is that their child is not imitating.” – Early Intervention Support

    We learned great rips from my daughters speech therapist years ago at her last session. I take my daughter early to school let her swing and after a few minutes where her body I’d feeling good & alert I chime in with sentence work.
