Play Based
Browse our collection of play-based speech therapy resources designed to help Speech-Language Pathologists and Speech and Language Therapists support children’s communication through engaging, meaningful play.
Our play-based resources include practical materials for targeting early language, vocabulary, symbolic sounds and gestures, expanding utterances and other communication skills through toys, activities and child-led interactions.
Play provides opportunities to model language, follow a child’s interests and practise communication skills within natural and motivating interactions. These resources are designed to help therapists incorporate speech and language targets into play while keeping activities flexible and appropriate for young children.
