Both kids and adults seem to respond best to speech therapy when it's fun, active, lively, and applicable. Students who offer their best efforts in speech-language classes are rewarded with a treasure chest prize each month. Sometimes speech-language students will earn other rewards such as ice cream socials, popcorn parties, and other fun things, There is a lot to be said for verbal praises, smiles, and a positive nod. All of these things can be incorporated at home too when you see a good effort, a self-correction, or "good speech." Nothing is learned all at once and perfection is not the key element in therapy...just small steps and a slide in the right direction.
