Today I would like to put the spotlight on Langford Elementary's SLP team. Both ladies are University of South Carolina graduates and are currently working in Blythewood. On Fridays, they put their creativity and knowledge to the test and create great group lessons for the Autism classes at Langford. I was able to sneak a peek today, and it was AMAZING! Here are some of the activities they used.
The lesson began with a cute smartboard activity that incorporated song, movement, and animal identification.
The ladies then split the class into three small groups. The teachers and teaching assistants were involved with lesson and helped to incorporate use of PECS in the three stations they had set up. This is station #1 where students went fishing. The students used PECS to make request for turn. I loved seeing the kids make requests with each other for turns with the fishing poles!
The students also enjoyed some craft time. Here they made sharks. They used books to request more teeth and glue.
The last small group was a sensory task using water beads. Even the teachers couldn't resist these beads. It is so much fun to put your hands in and dig up an ocean animal. The students used their commenting skills here with the PECS book. The kids had a great time, and there was a lot of communication happening in the speech room today!
