Sign Alphabet and Talker Practice

We were lucky to receive this awesome sign alphabet puzzle for Chanukah this year (Thanks, Uncle Steve and Aunt Laura).  We dump the whole puzzle and I hand her one piece at a time.  I do the sign, then do the sign on her hands, then list words that start with that letter.  The last word is the picture in the puzzle.  Then she gets the piece to put in.  We are both making good progress on learning our sign alphabet.





Our talker exercises today were these lacing shapes.  To describe these shapes multiple screens must be used for navigation.  We discuss what they are ("plane", "strawberry", "fish", etc) and then the color.  The objects vary enough to make her move through many of the noun screens.  Then she returns to the colors.  It is a nice exercise because it helps her learn to navigate her talk and shows her knowledge.  When in the mood it is fun for everyone and she is proud of herself.  When she doesn't want to she really doesn't want to.
