Speech and Language

We have been working very hard on your child's communication skills during this school year.  It is important for your child to practice throughout the summer break in order to maintain the progress he or she has made so far.  Below you will find a calendar filled with activities for you to work on with your child this summer.  Please also use this website for a list of a variety of apps and fun websites that are great for finding additional pictures or games that target your child's communication goals.

Please work with your child to complete as many of these activities as you can during the summer months.  They are very quick, and should be able to be completed in 20 minutes or less.  You can complete the activities as your schedule permits.  Most of all, have FUN this summer!

Thanks for helping your child!
