Your quick Monday reminder that language therapy (AND AAC therapy) shouldn't *ONLY* focus on requesting.

While many late-talkers or AAC users are motivated by asking for something, we need to ensure we are modelling and teaching all the reasons we communicate! If we don't, we may be limiting our children's scope of communication and the connections they can build with others. Just think about how boring it would be if you could only ask for something, and not comment, tease, protest, narrate, or exclaim! Let's make sure we're doing the same for our clients today.
