Pupils use a range of single words, gesture, signs, or symbols for familiar objects and actions.
It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

Dressing game with soft toys and clothing items | Use toy clothes and a teddy/dolly. Put the teddy in front of the child and a choice of two clothing items e.g. hat and shoes. Say' Teddy wants shoes.' Help the child to select shoes and allow the child to dress the teddy or help if needed. Repeat 'Teddy's shoes...........shoes'. Continue with different clothing items. When the child is familiar with some clothing names give the child more items of clothing to choose from. | Some times it is physically easier to take cloths off than to put them on - adapt the game for taking off! Have fun with this game! |
