AAC enables many people who have difficulty with spoken speech to express themselves. It is a collection of valuable tools, many of which we all use day to day. Learning about AAC and how to use a person's communication system helps the AAC user to be included and to participate in activities and groups settings that they may otherwise feel left out of.

Have questions about AAC? Let us know in the comments 😄

Let's face it, it can sometimes be hard to make ends meet, let alone find the extra cash to buy your kid/s all the latest gadgets and gizmos! The good news is that you don't need all the money in the world to give them the gift of your presence! Children (like all of us), have a deep, in-built need for connection and companionship. The truth is that your child will learn more language, and countless other skills, from your presence and interaction with them, than they ever will from a toy. Presents are lovely and toys be can great fun, and beneficial but always remember that the biggest gift you can give your child is your quality time!

🤔💭 Wondering how many words your little should be combining? As a general rule, between the ages of 1 & 4 years the number of words your child puts together to communicate should be the same number or more than their age.

To expand your child's vocabulary, model a sentence length that is just one word longer than they can use. For example, if they talk using single words, talk to them using mostly two word phrases. It's so simple and just takes a bit of practice to create a new habit of changing the way you talk to your tot. 😊

We love our Spin Again toy by ! This toy is great for modelling verbs, adjectives and exclamatory sounds like "wow!" & "wee!", as well teaching core vocab such as 'on', 'off', 'down', 'stop' and 'go'. It can be used to target goals such as helping your child to request for 'more' and taking turns. It's also a great tool for developing hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.

❤️ We love this quote by Mother Teresa.
At Tiny Tots Speech Pathology, one of the ways we achieve greatness is by acknowledging the strengths that we each bring and working collaboratively with families to help their child to fulfil their potential.

We know that parents and carers are the expert when it comes to knowing their child, plus they do the behind the scenes therapy at home, so it makes sense that they are be a BIG part of the team!

🏀🏈⚽ There's so much fun to be had throwing, rolling, bouncing and kicking a ball. Next time your child is playing with a ball, try commenting about what they are doing rather than leading the interaction. Following your child's lead is one of the best ways that you can help them to learn new words. Ball play teaches an abundance of skills and it's even better if you can get outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine at the same time! 😄 🌄
