Need new toy ideas to support joint attention with your preschool or early intervention caseload? These parent-friendly hand-outs are a must-have tool for your speech therapy parent coaching sessions. Great for teaching caregivers powerful early language strategies with engaging, simple toys that foster play-based learning.

These are a must for engaging hands-on learners, toddlers, gestalt language processors, children with autism or any child with expressive or receptive language delay.

8 handouts are included, with 3 ideas for play with each toy, 3 language strategies, ideas for core words, and alternatives for home objects when the toy is not accessible. Each handout is strategically designed to be easy to understand and simple. Use these handouts if...
