[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opened ended questions like "what did you do at school today?" are very hard for any child at that age. Ask him more specific questions like did you play with blocks, who did you play with, did you go outside, did you go down the slide, etc. Is he in speech therapy? [/quote] [b]He was in speech therapy for a few months but we're pausing now while he adjusts to school.[/b] Will probably start up again next month. I try to do yes/no quesitons... "did you play at school?" "did you dance?" "did you drink milk?" And absolutely nothing. [/quote] I don't live in DC area so maybe therapists don't do this there, but it was enormously helpful to have the speech therapist work with my son at school (private schools...public wouldn't allow outside people). From prek through 5th grade (COVID) she was there twice a week, at first for one "academic" time and one social time, and then when he was older she only came for academic times. She worked with him and modeled appropriate interventions for the teachers. Sent me weekly reports. She was great and helped him a lot. [/quote]
