Meet Stephen Kneece, MA, CCC-SLP, an SLP that made his own core vocabulary songs. It's not Baby Shark BUT, this pace is slow and perfectly appropriate to drive those repetitions home to your child's ears. Please consider just playing this as a warm up or put on your phone and play while you are getting dressed, brushing your teeth or in the car on your way to school!
Remember: Sign and Tick what you can and leave notes where the practice is challenging. This is a parent accountability piece that you can opt to participate with their core content. It's about getting in those opportunities to practice and providing repetitions to practice. That's when we will see the progress.
We love to see celebrations too.
Scrub ahead to 1 min. You will see how to sign "I". Many of our kids have difficulty with pronouns! Start with the most important one to littles..."I" ! Combine with "I want" and we are starting to empower them to make choices and possibly see behaviors shift.
Practice using SIGN LANGUAGE to prompt your child's verbal language!
It works...try it and have the whole house practice signing and saying
Swish Swish and shout "AH HOY!"
Add a fun plastic eye patch and maybe a pirate hat.
ADD SIGN LANGUAGE "WANT"
Use the wheel cog to SLOW DOWN the song as needed
PRESS PAUSE on "WANT" and see if your child adds the verbal or sign or use your VISUAL "WANT" card!
Add a photo support or use your smart phone to show your child the HIPPO! Emphasize "WANT" with sign language.
Sometimes..you just gotta find the fun.
