Our son is the only pupil at his special needs school with no speech. Any class, or school assemblies would involve our son holding up a picture, or being dressed as a tree, or cloud! Last term the children stood up to show parents their art work and to give a small description as to what it was relating to their holiday experiences. Our son held up his "picture", not a clue what it was, but then he shouted out "ding ding" meaning bus. All parents present were so chuffed to hear his first words and watch us mop the tears away. A memory we will never forget. Our son is 9 years old we waited along time for that moment.

a few bright ideas you've been sending us

  • Matching pairs game

    Use a digital camera to make your own cards for this game. you can photograph your own matching pairs ie your dog, your home, family, etc You'll need two of each.

  • Blue tack

    Carry a small piece of Blue tack or similar for your child to play with if they are fidgety and need to touch and play with something. They can make little men and characters or just roll it in their fingers.

  • Sensory flour games

    I mix cornflour and water together and it makes a great sensory play tool. Also put flour into a plastic bag and seal it with some food colouring. As it gets squished round it will change colour.
