🌈 Playdough in Speech Therapy

At The Speech Hut, playdough is one of our favourite therapy tools! This simple activity opens the door to so much language, learning, and sensory exploration.

✨ Why Playdough Works
Playdough naturally encourages:
• Hands‑on engagement
• Creativity and imagination
• Calm, regulated bodies
• Longer attention and shared interaction

🗣️ Speech & Language Skills We Build With Playdough

🧩 Vocabulary Growth
We explore:
• Colours
• Shapes
• Actions (roll, squash, cut, poke)
• Describing words (soft, sticky, stretchy)

📚 Early Language Concepts
Playdough helps children understand:
• Size (big vs small)
• Location (in, on, under)
• Quantity (more, less)
• Sequencing (first roll, then cut)

💬 Sentence Building & Grammar
We model and practise:
• “I’m making a…”
• “Can you roll it?”
• “Let’s make it bigger”
• Pronouns, verbs, plurals, and more

🎭 Social Communication
Playdough invites:
• Turn‑taking
• Requesting
• Sharing ideas
• Joint attention
• Pretend play

🌟 Sensory Integration Benefits
Playdough offers a rich sensory experience that supports:
• Tactile exploration
• Hand strength and fine‑motor development
• Regulation through repetitive, calming movements
• Confidence for children who need gentle sensory exposure

When children feel regulated, they’re more ready to communicate.

As my client said this morning…”I love playdough!” 💛🩵💚🩷❤️🧡💜

‼️ Calling all parents! ‼️

I’m exploring the idea of hosting a parent networking event and would really appreciate your input.

If this is something you’d attend, would you prefer:

• A family‑friendly event with children included
• An adults‑only space for conversation and connection

What outcomes would you hope for? Community, support, shared resources, or something else?

Your input will help me design something meaningful to you and fun!

🎓✨ Placement Wrap-Up Day!

Today marked the end of another wonderful placement, and my heart is feeling all the emotions. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have another brilliant final‑year student with me over the past 10 weeks — and what a journey it has been.

Final days are always bittersweet.
✨ The pride in watching a student grow in confidence and skill
✨ The joy of seeing our clients make progress under their care, leaving the room each week with beaming smiles
✨ The excitement of knowing they’re so close to completing an intense university course and stepping into their careers as SLTs

…and then the tough part — saying goodbye.

I know both of the students I have had this year are going to go on to do amazing things. Today we celebrated with a well‑earned slice of pizza — not just to mark the end of placement, but to toast the beginning of an impactful career and the continuation of relationships that don’t end at the placement.

Thank you for being part of my team, for showing our clients such compassion, and for making Thursdays a joy for the last 10 weeks. I’m so proud of you!

💛 Here’s to your next chapter 🥳

📕 Is there a better set up than this?!

Building language through play is my favourite kind of learning.

Today we blended:
✨ sensory sand play
✨ toys, pictures, and symbols
✨ AAC
✨ an animal‑themed story

Together, these supported vocabulary growth, concept development, reading comprehension, early literacy (like rhyme), building sentences using AAC and speech‑sound stimulability through silly animal noises.

🌟 Happy Monday!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend celebrating all the fabulous Mum’s in your lives! I was lucky to have been spoiled by my little mini me yesterday 🩷

It’s been a full-on start to the week with 8 clients in today and another 25 to go before Friday! I’ve also got my final meeting with my brilliant career coach, Kate, who has been such an amazing support over the past two years through repatriation and getting my business off the ground. I can’t wait to share the highlights and the exciting next steps with her.

Now it’s your turn…what have been your highlights over the past year? And what would you love to see next from The Speech Hut? Drop a comment or send a DM! 💛

Who can guess what our topic today is…?
If you guessed “What the Ladybird Heard,” you’re right! 🐞

Rhyming stories like this one are such powerful therapy tools, and we’re using it in lots of fun, hands-on ways today:

✨ Phonological awareness
We explore rhyming, syllable clapping, blending, and identifying sounds, all through the rhythm and repetition of the story.

✨ Vocabulary building
With sensory trays, clients can see, feel, and hear new words in different ways. This multi‑sensory approach helps with learning, retaining, and recalling vocabulary.

✨ Following directions
Colouring tasks become a language workout: “Find the blue cow,” “Colour the duck yellow.” Children match colour + animal to complete the challenge.

✨ Narrative skills
Using pictures, toy animals, or our sensory farm, we can retell the story together, working on comprehension, sequencing, and those key narrative questions:
Who was in the story
What happened
Where did it take place
When did it happen
Why did the characters act the way they did?

It’s amazing how one story book can open the door to so many rich speech and language opportunities!

✨ What better way to kick off a Friday than spending the morning with a real-life princess! 👑

This royal superstar has been working incredibly hard over the past few weeks on her speech sounds! We always have so much fun together, and she never fails to show up without the best accessories 😎 She even brings the paparazzi to capture her sessions (thanks mum)!!

🗣️ How do we actually produce speech sounds?

Have you ever wondered how we make the sounds we use every day? Or why some children find certain sounds trickier than others?

I’m thinking about running a parent-friendly training session all about:

• How speech sounds are produced
• Common speech sound errors in children
• How speech development links to phonics and early literacy

I’d love to know if this is something you’d find helpful.

I’ll be drawing on my specialist doctorate-level training in phonetics and speech sound disorders, as well as my experience teaching phonetics in the UK and internationally.

Understanding how sounds are made can empower you to:

• Support your child’s phonics learning
• Build on early literacy skills like phonological awareness
• Feel more confident supporting your child at home, especially if they’re currently receiving, or waiting for, speech therapy.

If this sounds useful, let me know you’re interested!

Friday Treats 🍪✨

We kicked off the week with colourful, healthy fruit smoothies… and we’re wrapping it up with some well‑earned sweet treats!

During one of my outreach appointments, we even made marshmallow top hats — a simple but delicious snack to try with your little ones at home. We used visuals to support sequencing and to help my client follow the recipe step by step, making it a fun (and tasty) way to build confidence in the kitchen. We might have been a few marshmallows down along the way since he kept stealing them to eat 🫣🤭

Happy Friday everyone!!
