Meet the newest member of the TALK Therapy crew… 🐟✨
Apraxia the Fish!
You might be wondering… why a class pet in speech therapy? Here’s why our little swimmer is making a big splash:
🐠 Builds Language Naturally
Kids love to talk about something exciting. From describing colors and movements to asking questions and making predictions, Apraxia gives us endless opportunities for meaningful conversation.
🐠 Supports Social Skills
Taking turns feeding, sharing observations, and talking about our fish friend encourages interaction, cooperation, and connection with peers.
🐠 Encourages Calm & Focus
Watching fish swim has a soothing effect, helping children regulate, attend, and feel more comfortable during sessions.
🐠 Creates Motivation & Engagement
Let’s be honest… therapy is a lot more fun when there’s a fish involved. 😉 Motivation goes up, participation follows.
🐠 Opens the Door for Play-Based Learning
We can incorporate storytelling, sequencing, describing, and even articulation practice all centered around Apraxia’s “daily adventures.”
We can’t wait for our students to grow, communicate, and thrive alongside their new finned friend. 🐟💬💫
