Language Sample Collages from You!

Published March 22, 2012 2:00 PM by Kathie Harrington
Thank you! A special thank you to all of the SLPs who emailed pictures of their beloved pets to include in collages that we can all use to elicit language samples. It was so much fun to see the variety of who lives with you. I was amazed to find who shares your affection, and I know now to whom you talk to each night after work! These are your kids. You love them. You feed them. You hug them. And now you share them with us. Thank you.

Because I received so many pictures, I divided the collages I made between this week's post and next week's. So look for your special friend and make them all your special friends.

(A reminder about the importance of taking a language sample: Be sure to refresh yourself about what is necessary to look at when taking a language sample in my Feb. 2 and Feb. 9 posts.)

  • Print the following collages.
  • Place each one in a protective transparent sleeve or laminate.
  • Either the SLP selects one for the Language Sample or the child selects between two.
  • Have fun!

Collage #1 features Bubba, Bugsy, Twist, Coconut the fish, and Perry.

Collage #2 features Sonny and Cher, Rocco and Saddle-Up.

Collage #3 features Lucky, Rocco, Foxie (I slipped in a cartoon to ask the child who is NOT real), Trixie, Kiki and Goldie.

 

 Three more collages are coming your way

to assist your kids who have so much to say.

Take a language sample, then figure it out,

you'll have children talking without a doubt.

Kathie - thanks for doing this!  The pics are great and I was thrilled to see my pets in there.  Thanks also for "Foxie" - that was a great idea and I hope you include more "fakes"!

Lisa, Bugsy and Rocco are now FAMOUS! Did you show them their pictures? Sorry that I missed your other love - I thought that I had all of the ones that were submitted. Or, check on last week's Autism Blog as I have three collages on there and perhaps he's on one of those. Maybe I'll do this again sometime.

Kathy the collages are wonderful. I'm happy to see 2 of my 3 guys (Bugsy and Rocco) made the collages. My kids will love these.
