| Hide the toy - Animal pictures or toys - Toy furniture: table, chair, bed. | 1. Place the furniture in front of the child. 2. Ask the child to tell you what to do with an animal of their choosing if they are able to use three word phrases. If they can only use two word phrases, select the toy for them and ask them to tell you where to put it. e.g. under table / on bed (two word level); cat under table / sheep on bed (three word level)
| Allow the child to explore materials and give time to respond to questions. Respond to however the child manages to get their message across (for example if they just point): you may need to demonstrate what you want the child to do using the appropriate language (e.g. "under (the) table"). After the child is familiar with the objects - you can make the task more difficult (and communicative) by putting a screen between the objects and the child whilst they give you an instruction. |
