Am I the only one that thinks sensory bins can be a little pricey to make?  No more!  Recycle paper and make it into paper pulp.  Take old papers/newspaper add some water and blend it up in the blender.  Add objects to make it a fun interactive speech therapy game.

We had a lot of fun making this cake video that helps practice the hard C sound.  Find C objects around the house and bake them in a fun cake.  Make sure to have fun c-c-cutting your c-c-cake!

To practice our "C" sounds this week we made this fun candy surprise game.  The instructions are easy and illustrated down bellow.  Find objects around the play room that start with a hard C sound.  We found a cat, cow, cup, cone, carrot, cracker, and corn on the cob.  Wrap each item with cellophane than secure with little elastics.  The sound of candy wrappers is sure to entice your little ones attention.  Watch the video then recreate at home.

Here's a new video that capitalizes on the surprise egg/unboxing phenomenon. There are a bunch of cellophane "candies" that contain various toys. This is one is focused on learning the hard "C" sound which is what the speech therapist says my son needs to focus on the most right now.

Yak Back Pack was created as a speech therapy aid to help children who struggle wish speech.  Our little boy has childhood apraxia of speech.  He hardly said any words until we created these videos.  These videos help child with speech delays by helping them recognize and be introduced to objects and sounds.  The mouth helps children with a delay of speech learn how to move their mouth.  We found with frequent watching that Jame's speech did improve.  The speech videos also helped him learn how to play the speech games.  The speech videos also helped older siblings know how to narrate and interact with James in a way that improved his speech.  If you have a child with childhood apraxia of speech check out Yak Back Pack on Youtube.  Thanks!
