Children with developmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, global delay, congenital rubella, hearing loss and sensory processing difficulties can commonly experience communication challenges. This can be an isolating and frustrating experience for the whole family. “I want my son to have friends and feel connected with other people.” “Is there something more I should be doing to help my child communicate?” Speech and language therapy can make dramatic improvements to the lives of children with communication challenges and their families, but it’s not always possible to see a speech and language therapist as easily, or as often, as you might like. “Travel to and from therapy takes so much time and my daughter is tired and cranky when we get there.” “I have to wait more than 6 months to get an appointment with a speech therapist.” Practice outside of therapy appointments can make a difference in helping children reach their communication goals. Spokle uses fun, family-centred, daily exercises, created by highly experienced speech and language experts from Australia and New Zealand, to empower families to practice communication with their child at a time and place that suits them best. By using Spokle, families incorporate their child’s communication skills development into daily life. Spokle can be used in conjunction with regular speech and language therapy sessions, or as a parent-led tool when therapy is not available. “Spokle helps parents learn to connect with their child in new ways by being an active participant in their therapy to help them reach their goals. Whether you are in therapy or not, you get expertly designed activities to keep your child engaged at home.”- Andrew Kendrick, M.Ed., LSLS Cert. AVT Connect with us on social. FB/IG @spokleapp
