Communication Partner Training
Communication Partner Training
Woodmoor SLPs continue to implement a parent-coaching model for many of our students.
Strategy: Singing Songs
Links to previous strategies covered: If you have not yet had a chance to visit our Communication Partner Training section, please do so. Read and review the resources. This will help set everyone up for success with remote learning. Click here. If you can only choose one resource to begin with, this video is excellent. It does take an hour to watch.
Links to communication boards can be found here.
Also check out this page for videos of demonstrations practicing core words.
Student Activities
Student Activities
Have students watch videos featuring the core word "up". Many of these resources also feature the core word "down", and so your child's SLP might suggest that you work on these opposite concepts with your child. Model how to find and select the word on their devices or communication boards while watching the videos. If this is easy, make it more challenging! Model sentences like "Go up" or "Up there." Feel free to pause the video and watch as many times as you would like.

Up and Down Song and Lesson for Kids
Up and Down - Hip Hop movement song for kids
"Up" - Song to Teach the Sight Word "Up"
Choose one activity to complete 5 minutes each day. Focus on modeling the word "stop" during this time. Review these ideas for an activity to try that you think your child would find fun.
Simon Says (e.g., "Simon says, 'Hands up'", "Simon says, 'stand up'", "Simon says, 'Doll up'", etc....).
Gently sabotage music, TV and computer activities by adjusting the sound volume. Have your child direct you to turn it “up” or “down.” Lights can also be turned “up” and “down.”
Let a child ask you to retrieve specific toys from a shelf by asking for them to be put “down,” then when the child is done playing, you can put the toys “up.”
“Up” and “down” are great words to use when doing gross motor activities. Talk about going “up” and “down” stairs, jumping “up” and “down” or even rolling a barrel or a ball “up” and “down” a large wedge or hill. A child can asked to be picked “up” or put “down.”
Let your child fill-in-the-blanks for Ring-Around-the-Rosy, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and the Wheels on the Bus.
Many of your child’s favorite activities may easily use the words “up” and “down:” car race toys, dollhouses with stairs, building blocks/Legos, or blowing bubbles.

The prepositions “up” and “down” have meanings beyond simple
directions. We can “get up,” “clean up,” “stay up,” “blow up,” “fall down,”
“lie down,” “sit down” and “slow down.” Gently sabotage music, TV and computer
activities by adjusting the sound volume. Have your child direct you to turn it
“up” or “down.” Lights can also be turned “up” and “down.” A child who can ask
for undesired sounds to be turned “down” or for lights to be turned “up” is
empowered to modify his/her environment to a more comfortable sensory level.
Let a child ask you to retrieve specific toys from a shelf by asking for them
to be put “down,” then when the child is done playing, you can put the toys
“up.” “Up” and “down” are great words to use when doing gross motor activities.
Talk about going “up” and “down” stairs, jumping “up” and “down” or even
rolling a barrel or a ball “up” and “down” a large wedge or hill. A child can
asked to be picked “up” or put “down.” Many songs and word plays use the words
“up” and “down.” Let your child fill-in-the-blanks for Ring-Around-the-Rosy,
Itsy Bitsy Spider, and the Wheels on the Bus. Help your child use prepositions
to ask to be picked “up” and put “down” and describe falling “down” and getting
“up.” Many of your child’s favorite activities may easily use the words “up”
and “down:” car race toys, videos of rollercoasters, dollhouses with stairs,
building blocks/Legos, or blowing bubbles.
