Colorful plastic eggs are great for targeting speech, language, articulation, and social skills. You can fill them with miniature favorites of all kinds, from vehicles to animals to characters...the possibilities are endless. Plus, the eggs are easy to find this time of year…and may be on sale soon!

EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE SKILLS
🔸Labeling: what is it?
🔸Describing: color, size, function
🔸Expanding utterances and targeting carrier phrases: “I found _____”

RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE SKILLS
🔸Sorting: color or category
🔸Identifying objects: by feature, function, class (find the one you eat, the one with a beak, the one that’s a food)
🔸Following directions: open the blue egg (one-step direction); open the blue egg and give me what’s inside (two-step direction)

ARTICULATION SKILLS
Fill eggs with items that include any speech sounds or target words your child is working on in speech therapy. For example, if they are working on /s/ in the initial position of words, you could fill eggs with things like mini suns, shoes, seagulls, seahorses, etc.

SOCIAL SKILLS
🔸Taking turns: picking colors and opening the eggs, practicing waiting patiently for a turn
🔸Commenting on others’ finds: “Oh, I like that!” “That’s cool!”

Toy sorting isn’t just clean-up (although that’s a big bonus!) It’s also a way to teach kids to categorize and build brain skills for language, learning, and making sense of the world.

Try these simple, effective steps to teach your child how to categorize:

1️⃣ Round up containers like boxes, bins, bags, totes, stacked drawers, or any system that allows items to be grouped.

2️⃣ Determine categories, starting with concrete classes like animals, vehicles, dolls, etc.

3️⃣ Make labels for each container that pair a written word with a picture to help develop pre-reading skills.

4️⃣ Help your child sort items that belong in one particular group.

5️⃣ Start increasing the difficulty with these ideas:

🔸Once the child understands the task, add items that don’t belong (like a banana in the animal group) to teach concepts of inclusion and exclusion, which are necessary skills for sorting.

🔸Sort into sub classes, such as organizing types of animals (zoo, sea, forest, pets).

🔸Sort related to attributes, functions, or more advanced classifications: things that have legs, things that cut, baking items, things that belong in outer space, etc.

🔸For each step, start with only a few items and build up.

Reach out to us if your child has trouble. We’re here to help!

Another Family Fun Day, another fantastic sensory room! KCC occupational therapists Erin Greco and Julia Szymanski put together tons of fun “Under the Sea” activities for the event on March 21, including water and sand sensory bins, bubbles, coloring sheets, temporary tattoos, scooter boards, and even a fort that made kids feel like they were hanging out underwater 🐳🐙🐟

Family Fun Day is presented by the Joanne and Ted Lindsay Foundation Autism Outreach Services at Oakland University for families impacted by autism and related challenges. In addition to the KCC sensory room, families were able to swim in the university pool, bounce on inflatables, make crafts, shop for items by autistic entrepreneurs, and browse an information fair.

Kids with Challenges Become Champions at the KCC!

The Kaufman Children’s Center for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor and Autism Treatment is an award-winning and internationally recognized pediatric private practice located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. We offer speech-language and occupational/sensory-motor therapy, as well as applied behavior analysis (ABA) autism programs, social skills groups, and many more services that help kids live their very best lives.

The KCC is also the home base of speech-language pathologist Nancy R. Kaufman, our owner/director and renowned expert in childhood apraxia of speech. When she’s not working with local, out-of-state, and even international families who come to the center for her evaluations and intensive programs, she travels the world teaching fellow SLPs how to best help kids using her Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP). Realizing that one therapy approach does NOT fit all, the Kaufman Children’s Center creates an individualized treatment program for each child. Our center houses a staff of extensively trained, talented speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, board-certified behavior analysts, and ABA technicians who work together as a team for the best interests of each child.

The KCC’s reputation for successful outcomes caused us to outgrow our facility and expand into a neighboring building in early 2018. Our “K2” location is right across the parking lot and geared specifically toward children with autism spectrum disorders. This expansion has allowed us to move dozens of children off our ABA wait list and into programs that will bring about meaningful changes in their lives.

Specialized and innovative therapeutic methods include: The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) Speech and language therapy Applied behavior analysis (ABA)/verbal behavior Occupational therapy Sensory integration therapy Social language skills groups for many age ranges Specialized feeding & oral-motor programs Craniosacral therapy Fast ForWord® cognitive training Handwriting Without Tears® Interactive Metronome® Therapeutic Listening® We are here to help! Contact us if you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, sensory, motor, or social development. We are always happy to address your questions by phone, and if needed schedule an evaluation.
