2 things I looove…color coordination 🌈 and books 📚 . . . #cariebertseminars #slpsofinstagram #instaslp #childrensbooks #booksforkids #speechtherapy

So many mini erasers…so little time!These are a pediatric speech-language pathologist’s guilty pleasure! (Mini erasers…and wine!) Little kids LOVE tiny toys (not for kids who put things in their mouth though)! Pair mini erasers with books to make story time more interactive, put them in a bin of rice for some indoor language rich sensory play, or use them to make repetitive speech practice more fun! . . . #cariebertseminars #slpsofinstagram #instaslp #speechtherapy #slplife #speechpathology #playbasedlearning #learningthroughplay #prekslp #preschoolslp

. REGULATE - REACH - TEACH ⬇️ Let’s talk about sensory strategies to help REGULATE the nervous system and help the child achieve a “ready state.” It is difficult to address speech and language goals (or any academic goals) if a child is dysregulated. SENSORY TRUMPS EVERYTHING because the nervous system has to be regulated to learn! Swipe through slides and let me know if any of these strategies have been successful with the children you work with or care for. . . . #cariebertseminars #slpsofinstagram #instaslp #speechtherapy #speechpathology #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyintervention #sensoryplay #sensorydifferences #selfregulation #playbasedlearning

Regulate • Reach • Teach This is the formula for relationship-based learning. Attempting to work on therapy or academic goals with a child who is dysregulated can create a stressful learning environment and cause the child to go into fight or flight mode. Stress is not the goal…because stress impedes learning (thanks for that powerful explanation, Linda Murphy). Regulation and connection come BEFORE instruction. And when it IS time for instruction, let’s be sure we are teaching functional skills. 🙌🏼 . . . #cariebertseminars #slpsofinstagram #instaslp #speechlanguagepathology #slp2be #slp2b #speechtherapy #speechpathology #speechlanguagepathologist #earlychildhoodeducation
