Communication Through Play: Everyday Ideas for Home

Everyday play, meals and household routines can create useful opportunities for communication without turning home into a therapy centre.

Who this is for

What the session will cover

• Following a child’s lead and joining before directing
• Pausing and creating a reason to communicate
• Using visible choices and short, useful language
• Respecting gestures, pictures, signs and AAC
• Building communication into dressing, meals and play
• Knowing when to stop, reduce demand and support regulation

What to bring

One familiar play activity or routine you would like to make more interactive. No child is required to appear on camera.
