I love that you are challenging yourself to think outside the bag. I also am trying to focus less on the “stuff” of therapy and more on the communication and materials that are already present.

Wow! That’s really interesting! I would have thought that the kids would be more engaged with something new to them, but what you said about the parents makes a whole lot of sense.

Nice post! I service B-3 in homes and 3-5 in preschools. When I began, I was told I was not allowed to bring toys into my clients home.. Aka no toy bag. Even though many of my families did not of many toys, books, or anything age appropriate to use. We were told that if we brought materials in and then removed them from the environment, there was no chance of carryover. Instead, I was encouraged to find them free monthly resources or consult with the service coordinators in order to get them some books and toys. Not having a toy bag is often difficult, but providing therapy that can actually be carried over throughout the week is the goal. Even if it the therapy envolvs labeling objects in the clients natural environment or using a door to teach simple concepts. 🙂

Thank you for sharing! I feel very similar in this thought. Currently I am servicing EC students and have a whole office of materials I rarely use. I find therapy much more successful when I’m in the classroom using toys and materials available all the time to the students. It also allows the teachers and assistants to get involved. This is great information…can’t wait for the next parts.
