Congratulations to Zoey on graduating from occupational therapy! Zoey is now more willing to try a variety of foods and eats much more food in a shorter time than before. She is independent with dressing. Zoey has benefited much from her family following through with the home program and being present in sessions to collaborate. Congratulations Zoey!
This month’s sign of the month is “please.” Rub your open hand over your chest in a circular motion. You can demonstrate this sign to your child or use hand over hand assistance to guide their hands.
Sign language is a visual language that uses hands, movements, and facial expressions to communicate words. Sign language helps to facilitate and encourage language development by providing children earlier access to language. There are several advantages to early introduction of sign language in children including: improved social skills, increased confidence, and improved self esteem. For a preverbal child or a child with a speech delay, communicating through signs provides a means to express themselves which in turn helps them to avoid frustration and tantrums.
