Speech and language homework is one way to reinforce and carryover what your
child is learning in speech therapy. Taking a few minutes to do easy speech
and language activities with your child can help his or her progress.
Practice and consistency are key in helping your child progress toward their
speech and language goals!
The time your child spends in speech therapy is designed to establish a skill
base for their area(s) of need. Much of the reinforcement and practice for
these skills, however, needs to be done in other settings (i.e., classroom,
home, etc.)
Homework should always be completed as it is assigned by your child's
therapist. Please keep in mind though, even when no official homework is
assigned, short and regular practice sessions are a valuable addition to
your child's program.
Check out the "Speech and Language Activities" and "Speech and Language Web
sites" pages for fun and helpful ideas to reinforce what your child is
learning in speech therapy.
If you have questions about your child's speech and language homework, please
contact his/her therapist. Contact information can be found on the "About the
Therapists" page.
