Play gives children "opportunities to explore the world, interact with others, express and control emotions, develop their symbolic and problem-solving abilities, and practice emerging skills. Research shows the links between play and foundational capacities such as memory, self-regulation, oral language abilities, social skills, and success in school."

Using children's favorite toys, games, and activities (along with some fun activities I bring with me!), I work with kids in their homes on academic and communication skills in a relaxed, motivating, fun, and research-based way.

I believe that children learn best through play and that a child’s favorite activities provide a great context for working on communication and social skills. During these activities, children are typically highly motivated to communicate and interact. It also gives children a meaningful reason for communicating, so it isn’t just learned as a “rote” skill. You'll often find me working on language and communication while making balloon animals, blowing bubbles, drawing/painting/sculpting, or which ever activities your child loves.

 

If you’re in Rockwall, Rowlett, or Royse City, Texas, and you’d like more information or to schedule a free initial consultation about the “Play to Learn” program, please send me a message and we’ll set something up.
