IF YOU DON'T LAUGH... YOU CRY|

Using What Do You Meme? cards (with possibly the most literal child I have ever met 🤣), we worked together to interpret the picture, notice the clues, and use those clues to think about what the person might be thinking, feeling or experiencing.

And then this picture of a woman with her hands on either side of her head came along 🤣

Mr R studied the picture careful...

🧠 “Maybe she has a headache.”
🥶 “Maybe she has brain freeze.”
🦷 “Maybe she has a toothache.”

All completely logical possibilities based on the visual clues!

So I added another perspective:

“Her hands are on the side of her head…she looks like she has had enough, sometimes I look like that when my kids are driving me crazy. It looks like she is getting really frustrated and is about to lose her poopy.”

He then turned and looked at me very seriously and said "No. She’s not on the toilet, so I don’t think it would be this.” 😂😂😂

It took EVERYTHING in me to hold it together.
But it also gave us the perfect opportunity to talk about colloquial language-those funny phrases where what we say isn’t necessarily what we literally mean.

“Losing your poopy” doesn’t actually mean going to the toilet. It can mean becoming really frustrated, angry or overwhelmed.

Games like this can be so useful in speech pathology. We can work on:

✨ Reading visual and contextual clues
✨ Inferencing
✨ Perspective taking
✨ Identifying thoughts and emotions
✨ Explaining our reasoning
✨ Flexible thinking
✨ Understanding figurative and colloquial language
✨ Recognising that there can be more than one reasonable interpretation

All while having a laugh together.
And for the record… he still wasn’t entirely convinced by my interpretation. 😂

FAVOURITE THERAPY ACTIVITY ALERT|🎈🚗 Balloon Powered Cars 🚗🎈

This week we’ve been having lots of fun with balloon-powered cars- and while it might look like we’re just racing cars across the room, there’s plenty of speech and language learning happening along the way!

I often use balloon cars to work on:
✨ Requesting- “More!”, “Again!”, “My turn!”
✨ Following directions-“put the balloon on”, "push the car on", "finger on the button", “Ready, set… GO!”
✨ Core words-push, down, go, stop, more, big, fast, up, down, on, off
✨ Concepts-fast/slow, first/last, far/close, big/small
✨ Predicting-“Which car will go further?”
✨ Turn-taking and joint attention
✨ Speech sounds hidden naturally within play
✨ And lots of joint engagement, laughter and connection 💛

The best therapy doesn’t always look like “work.” When children are engaged, curious and having fun, we can create meaningful opportunities for communication within something they genuinely want to be part of.
And honestly… balloon car races are pretty fun for me too! 🎈🏁😂

EARLY INTERVENTION IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE | 💛 It’s the little things that are actually the BIG things.

One of the things I love most about early intervention is noticing and celebrating all those tiny moments of connection and communication that can be so easy to miss.
A shared smile.
A new sound or word.
Letting someone into their play.
Showing me what they’re interested in.
A moment of joint attention.
Copying an action.
Communicating "open",“more,” “help,” “again,” or “all done” in their own way.
And sometimes it’s simply sitting alongside a child, following their lead, lining up Little People together and showing them that their way of playing is worth joining. 🥰

Early intervention isn’t about changing who a child is. It’s about building connection, supporting communication and giving them more ways to share their thoughts, wants, needs and wonderful little personalities with the people around them.

Those small gains add up. And getting to watch them happen is one of my favourite parts of being a Speech Pathologist 💛

It was so sweet watching Mr A eyeball all of his carefully placed Little People Figurines and making sure they were all at his preferred postion and angle 😊

💬🌈 Happy Speech Pathology Week! 🌈💬

Celebrating all things communication, connection and finding your own way to be heard. 🗣️🧠✨

This year marks my 13th as a Speech Pathologist and I absolutely ♥️ what I do 😊

Speech pathology is about so much more than helping children say their sounds. It can look like:

🌟 Supporting a child to communicate their wants, needs and ideas
🌟 Building language and understanding
🌟 Supporting speech clarity and fluency
🌟 Exploring AAC and different ways to communicate
🌟 Developing literacy and learning skills
🌟 Supporting social communication and self-advocacy
🌟 Helping families better understand and connect with their child
🌟 Celebrating every child’s individual communication style

At Mandurah Speech Pathology, we feel incredibly lucky to work alongside so many amazing children and families. Some of our biggest wins might look tiny from the outside- a new word, asking for help, sharing an idea, telling a story, communicating “no”, or finally feeling understood 💛

And that’s what we love most about speech pathology: communication isn’t about making everyone communicate the same way. It’s about giving every person the opportunity to connect, participate and be understood in a way that works for them.

Happy Speech Pathology Week to our wonderful SP team and all the brilliant speechies out there! 🥳💬

SPEECH THERAPY| But make it MEMES! 😂

What Do You Meme? is always a winner in speech therapy-especially with older kids who might be slightly less enthusiastic about traditional therapy activities! 😏

We use the cards to work on so many communication skills while having a laugh:
✨ Inferencing-What is happening in the picture? How do you know?
✨ Perspective taking-What might the person be thinking or feeling?
✨ Understanding humour-Why is this caption funny? Does everyone find the same things funny?
✨ Flexible thinking-Which captions could work and why?
✨ Explaining & justifying-“I picked this one because…”
✨ Reading comprehension- Reading and interpreting the different captions
✨ Social communication-Predicting which card another person might choose
✨ Vocabulary & language-Discussing unfamiliar words, phrases and expressions

And one of my favourites… trying to convince me that their card is CLEARLY the funniest one. 😂

Games like this are fantastic because we can target some pretty complex language and social communication skills without it feeling like “work”.

Sometimes the best therapy sessions involve lots of learning… and a lot of laughing! 💬😂🎲

🎲 Worst Case Scenario… but make it speech therapy! 🦈🦍😬
One of my favourite games for working with older kids is Worst Case Scenario.

We each get three cards showing some pretty terrible situations, and then comes the fun part: deciding which one would you rather face… and which one would be the absolute WORST?

But what I really love is the conversation that happens along the way.
🦈 “Well… what kind of sharks are they?”
🦍 “Is there food on the Island?”
🤔 “Am I allowed to get away?”
💭 “Actually, this one looks worse, BUT…”

Suddenly, we're working on problem-solving, lateral thinking, inferencing, explaining our reasoning, comparing options, flexible thinking and seeing that there can be more than one way to look at a situation.
It’s also a great reminder that sometimes we need more information before we can make a decision-something that can be tricky for lots of kids!

And because there isn't necessarily one “right” answer, it creates some fantastic debates and plenty of laughs along the way.

Speech therapy for older kids doesn’t always have to look like worksheets. Sometimes it looks like arguing over whether you’d rather face a shark or a gorilla! 😂🦈🦍

THERAPY RESOURCES |🧲Sometimes the simplest things make the BEST therapy motivators!

Today’s speech sound practice involved magnetic buttons + a magnetic wand… and they were an absolute HIT! 🙌

We practised our target speech sounds, and after each set it was time to use the wand to collect the magnets.

The excitement of watching them snap onto the wand made doing “just one more” practice word much more appealing! 😂

Speech sound therapy often involves lots and lots of repetition-but repetition doesn’t have to feel repetitive.

By adding something a child genuinely enjoys, we can:
⭐ Encourage more practice trials
⭐ Support attention and engagement
⭐ Build turn-taking and anticipation
⭐ Keep therapy playful and positive
⭐ Make practising tricky sounds feel like a game

And sometimes… the therapy resource they love most is simply a pile of magnetic buttons and a wand! 🧲

At Mandurah Speech Pathology, we love finding the little things that motivate each child and weaving them into therapy💛

THERAPY THROUGH PLAY| and stopping a robber from escaping jail! 🔦🚨

Another fun cooperative game at MSP today!
The mission? Work together to stop the robber escaping from jail👮‍♀️
We each have five cards that the other player can’t see, and we take turns placing our pieces to block the robber’s escape tunnels. The tricky part? Sometimes the other player puts their piece exactly where you were planning to go! 😬
And that’s where some fantastic therapy opportunities happen.

Rather than playing against each other, we have to work together towards the same goal, while practising:
⭐ Turn-taking
⭐ Problem-solving
⭐ Managing unexpected changes
⭐ Communicating ideas
⭐ Working as a team
⭐ Navigating those little moments of frustration when someone takes “your spot”

There’s no winner and loser-we either stop the robber together… or he escapes! 😱
Games like this are such a great way to practise real-life skills in a fun, low-pressure environment.
And thankfully today… the robber did NOT get away! 🚔😂

🦖🌋 Just another Monday afternoon in speech therapy…

Did we spend majority of today’s session carefully getting ALL the dinosaurs standing up?

Yes. Yes, we did.
Did those dinosaurs then get completely obliterated by a volcano and lava?

Yes. Yes, they did. 🌋😂

Did one unfortunate dinosaur get burnt in the lava, come back as a skeleton dinosaur, and proceed to eat everything else?

Also yes. Apparently that’s where the story needed to go. 💀🦖

Did we still manage to target the language goals we’re currently working on throughout all of this prehistoric chaos?

Yes. Yes, we did. 🙌

Did we have lots of fun?

Absolutely.

Was dinosaur extinction, volcanic destruction and a slightly terrifying skeleton dinosaur on my bingo card for a Monday afternoon?

No. No, it was not. 😂

Sometimes the best sessions happen when you follow the child’s lead, lean into their interests and find ways to weave their therapy goals into the play they’re already excited about.
Because when a child is engaged, connected and having fun, there are SO many opportunities for communication and learning.

Sometimes you have a beautifully planned therapy session.
And sometimes… the dinosaurs get obliterated by a volcano. 🌋🦖💀
And honestly? Both can be great therapy.
