Verbal Skills: How Discovery toys Products can Help!!

Any Discovery Toys product can help with verbal skills, as long as parents and children are playing together. Talk about what each toy does and help children mimic the noises they make. Notice out loud how fast the Push and Go Cart goes or how high the Measure Up Cups can stack.

For children with Special Needs, here are some suggestions on ways to increase verbalization.

Communication skills (which most of us acquire up to 80% through hearing).
• Pictures provide endless possibilities for language stimulation.

in a relaxed and enthusiastic manner.
