As a speech-language pathologist and a mom I get really frustrated by over-inflated prices on "therapeutic" toys. My mission is to help families find items that their child will really use and really help them talk - and that don't break the bank. I'm reviewing my finds on Wednesdays in my "What to Try Wednesdays" post.
You will not need all of these items! (Phew, some Mommy guilt was just removed) It's especially important to work with a qualified speech-language pathologist to understand what your child really needs. My advice is not a substitute for professional recommendations or therapy plans. But - if your therapist is recommending a specific tool, there's no harm in asking about an alternative - especially if one is effective, both in treatment and in cost.
