The year is coming to an end, we are gearing up for holiday celebrations, and the weather is definitely getting colder. This can be an exciting time of year as there are so many new and different things around. Whether it be holiday decorations, snow falling, or the smell of roasting marshmallows, there’s so much to see and describe. This can be a great way to incorporate verbal descriptions of the things we see around us. Clients who need to work on identifying the objects and things they see and verbalizing words to describe them, can try this month’s blog intervention. This month we recreated the classic winter song, “Let It Snow”, and used it in a songwriting intervention. In the visual aid, certain words are taken out so that the client can choose their own words to describe various things. Not only can this help with object identification and expressive language, but this is a great way to engage the client in conversation about the weather, time of year, and feelings. We hope this can be of some help in your sessions!
