Carry-over is important because it helps students take the skills they practice in speech therapy and use them in their everyday lives. 

Speech sounds can be practiced through stories, games, conversations, or finding target sounds in your environment.

Language skills can be reinforced by following directions, answering questions about a story or movie, or using new vocabulary.

Social language can be practiced through conversations, turn-taking, problem-solving, and perspective taking, such as discussing how your favorite Disney character might feel or think.

Fluency skills can be supported through conversations and using strategies and acceptance during everyday speaking moments.

These simple everyday opportunities help students build confidence and use their skills outside of the speech room!
