Communication for All Kids Program

$387.98 AUD

Empowering Communication at Every Stage

The Communication for All Kids Program is a comprehensive speech and language development initiative designed to meet children where they are in their communication journey. Whether your child is working on early speech sounds, developing social interaction skills, or enhancing literacy, this program offers professional speech therapy support for your needs.

Our Goal

  • To offer fun, play-based materials and activities that support essential communication skills—from early listening and speech sounds to more advanced storytelling, literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving.

Key Features

  • Versatile expansions: Each add-on tackles a different area of communication or learning (speech sounds, receptive language, thinking skills, etc.).
  • Play-based approach: Games, stories, and hands-on tasks keep children interested and motivated.
  • Flexible skill levels: Activities include simpler or more advanced variations to suit both younger learners and those ready for a challenge.
  • Caregiver support: Clear guidance for adults on introducing each activity, plus tips to modify tasks up or down.

Types of Tools You’ll Find

Each expansion includes three engaging resources:

  • Puzzles & Matching Activities: Help develop problem-solving, vocabulary, and turn-taking.
  • Board or Card Games: Encourage collaboration, listening to instructions, and practising speech sounds in a playful context.
  • Story or Picture Books: Provide prompts for conversation, storytelling, and predicting events—ideal for vocabulary and expressive language practice.
  • Tactile Toys & Dice Poppers: Offer sensory feedback to maintain engagement while targeting sounds, counting, or sorting tasks.
  • Picture or Word Cards are useful for building vocabulary, reinforcing phonics, or focusing on specific speech sounds with visual cues.

6. Thinking Skills Pack

How Each Expansion Helps

  • Adaptable: You can run the activities briefly (5–10 minutes) or integrate them into everyday routines (mealtime chats, bath-time games, etc.).
  • Engaging: Colourful visuals, hands-on materials, and imaginative elements motivate children.
  • Supportive: Step-by-step caregiver prompts, plus hints on making tasks easier or more challenging, ensure all children can participate.

Goal-Driven: Each expansion hones a specific communication area, making it easier to select what suits your child’s current development stage
