House of Learning
6.99
House of Learning by Smarty Ears It serves as a tool for learning and playing with prepositions. Instead of letting the child play the app independently, try playing next to them and telling them exactly where to put each object. Use complete phrases such as “ place the sheets on the bed”, “place the cup on the table”, “ place the shoes under/above the bed”. Silly house builder: How about setting up the house before your session and putting the objects in “silly” places such as “the bed on top of the pillow”. When it is time for your session, you ask your student what‟s wrong with the image and get them to guide you verbally to place the objects where they belong. You should expect them to say complete phrases using prepositions “the bed goes above the pillow”.

Speech with Milo: Therapy Ideas I created this app so all of us SLP's, teachers and parents can have a central area to get some quick ideas. I post my ideas several times a week, and I am hoping that all of you creative folks out there will post yours on this app as well.
