My Project
Children with language disorders face unique challenges in developing and expanding their language skills. While traditional therapy methods are essential, integrating toys into their learning environment can significantly contribute to the enhancement of their language abilities. Toys offer a dynamic and engaging platform that fosters communication, encourages creativity, and provides a supportive framework for language development.
Children are more likely to engage in language-related activities when they find them enjoyable and rewarding.
Using stacking rings and toys as well as games like Shark Bite and Yeti in my Spaghetti as a means of positive reinforcement creates a connection between language use and pleasurable experiences, motivating children to actively participate in language-building exercises.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
