Sunshine, what kind of resources? I am on a few FB groups. Some of them are to do with behavior analysis and speech therapy and I bookmark interesting articles for future. But nothing posted there is useful to me yet in day to day life.

 

Just doing variations of #82. Need to do a better job of writing down what I am doing.

DD is trying to complete sentences, songs, etc when she feels that we expect her to. She doesn't say it right but she tries
This week she said her first two (non-repeating) syllable word. I have back pain, and not been playing in the play tunnel with her. So she drags the tunnel and says "tunna"
She is going to a mixed age music class since 2 weeks instead of the library. In this class, they are okay with her running around, so its going better than at the library.

Sat: We were invited to a friends' house for dinner and DD spent the whole evening with their 2 kiddos. She didn't really interact with them except for pointing to their noses once.

Sun:
10-matching
10-wind instruments - harmonica, flute, trumpet
10-animals on flight
10-stacking with cups, blocks
10-pretend play-make baby read book, put baby to sleep
10-playdough - pull out elbow pasta, put in pegs, roll the dough
20-books in tunnel
10-wooden puzzle
10- doodle on doodlepad

The wind instruments are for speech therapy. The old flute from India is the easiest for her. The trumpet is easy too, but its too loud, so she doesn't like it.


Since I wasn't getting anywhere with sorting and then with matching, I am just doing error-less matching with her books with single pictures for now. (bringing a matching card to the book from a distance and saying that they match, or that they are the same or that they make a pair)



I made the fruits books based on this video. That channel has some nice speech therapy ideas.


For puzzles, she needs 2 skills - one is to match the pictures (cognitive), the other is to actually be able to wiggle and fit the puzzle piece in. The OT recommended this as the easiest puzzle ever, with circle piece being the easiest - so bought this and trying to get her to wiggle and put the piece in. She puts the circle in now.
