What will be done with my students

The SLP will use the Baby dolls with students during play based language therapy. These babies and the accessories will provide students with the materials to work on curriculum standards and language therapy goals (as stated in their IEP). Students will use the babies and accessories to identify body parts; to identify and label objects; will use for pretend play and reciprocal play. These materials will help students increase their expressive language.
These materials will also support the following Florida Curriculum Standards:

Benefits to my students

Children can practice social interactions and empathy by pretending to be parents and imitating everyday events. They can also communicate with their dolls and internalize how others think and feel. Children can build self-confidence by caring for their dolls and becoming more competent in their actions. Children can express emotions like joy, jealousy, and tenderness by playing with their dolls. They can also use dolls to de-escalate conflict situations. The children can also use the babies and the accessories for goals like spatial concepts.
