My students and I work in small groups on early vocabulary and asking for what students want and need, as well as practicing their sounds so they can be understood by teachers and peers. My students have a variety of disabilities and many also struggle with identifying feelings and understanding others' perspectives. My students are fascinated with miniature objects representing their world, such as people figurines and doll house items. With these objects, we can create scenes to practice skills like prepositions (the frog is behind the tire) and describing (I want to put the big red chair by the small green frog). We can also practice speaking clearly with sounds that are hard for them to say, for example using three miniature items that start with S and pulling them out of a tub of dried rice while we say the words. To work on emotions, we can put the people figurines in different situations and talk about how they might feel and what they might do next. The possibilities are endless!
