“Speech once or twice a week isn’t going to build that new habit for motor learning for our kiddos. We need to get that movement consistent and on “autopilot” ! This is why pratice is so important. If I were to shoot baskets in my driveway for 1 hr a week, I would not get that movement of shooting a basket as a motor plan very well. But if I did that EVERY DAY, even if it was just a five minutes, I’d have a much better chance. Sand timers are a great visual for kids to use and see how long they are practicing their sounds (practicing the sound the right way) and they are often available in big packs online. I love 💕giving timers to my families to put in their "speech practice bins" for carryover practice. These timers 🕛 are 2 minutes - TWO MINUTES OF PRACTICE EVERY NIGHT! That is a lot of sound repetition!” (click photo to read more)
