December Language Calendar

The Moog Center puts out a fun calendar full of ideas to help you work on increasing your child's language at home.  Here is December's calendar.  You can download a print a copy by clicking here.


At my house, with my 13 year old daughter who has Down syndrome, I am teaching her how to cook.  We are talking about measuring, pouring, stirring, cutting, cleaning, and wiping.  We're talking about fractions, and narrating actions.  Her favorite part?  Yelling "HOT BEHIND!" like a chef when she passes behind someone with something hot in her hands.  She also likes to tell everyone at the dinner table what she prepared and give them a play-by-play narration of how she did it.

Modify the calendar as needed for your child.
