🎃👻 Getting into the Halloween spirit! 👻🎃

Today we geared up for Halloween by listening to festive music and using AAC to talk all about the fun! 🧡💬

We used a speech generating device to talk about the decorations in the clinic and fun costumes! We also explored this Halloween communication board from Talk to Me Technologies — all such great ways to encourage communication and participation during the holiday! 🕸️🕷️

🗣️ Core Words in Action!

Core words are powerful words that can be used anytime, anywhere! They include short, flexible words like go, stop, in, out, more, want, and help.

During our marble run activity today, we focused on “go,” “in,” and “more.” These simple words allowed us to express so much —
💬 “Go marble!”
💬 “Put in!”
💬 “More marble!”

Core words make up about 80% of what we say, so they’re essential for building language — whether we speak or use AAC. When we model core words during play, we’re helping kids learn to use language that works in any situation! 💡💬

🍂 The seasons are changing — and that means our clothes need to change too! Depending on your child’s sensory needs, this switch can sometimes be a bigger adjustment than expected.

To help make clothing transitions more successful, try pairing new items with a fun activity! Today, we went on a bug hunt adventure to introduce our new fall coat 🐞🧥 — and it made all the difference.

Sometimes a little fun can turn something tricky into something exciting! ✨
