Let’s Take It Outside: Outdoor Therapy Plans



Published:  7/18/2008

As the weather warms up, early interventionists have the chance to expand their horizons and those of the children that they work with by taking therapy out of doors. Working outside affords a unique opportunity to practice listening in noise and in a less structured setting, and to address auditory and language development goals in a new context. This presentation provides creative ideas for targeting auditory and language goals through fun, developmentally appropriate activities.
