IPads can be a very motivating way to work on some communication skills with your preschooler. If you have access to an IPad at home, these are just a few suggestions for apps you might try:
- My Playhome: can be used for expressive language by having your child talk about/answer questions about/describe what is happening in the picture or can be used for following directions by asking your child to do specific things within the scene
- Fun with Directions-Lite: a motivating format to follow various directions such as “touch an animal you can ride” or “give the girl something to sleep on”
- Kindergarten.com: offers a variety of apps that target specific concepts such as:
* Actions
* What Doesn’t Belong
* What Goes Together
* Animals
* Class (i.e.Which one is a kitchen item)
* Nouns (i.e. show me the lettuce)
