Using Baby Wipes in Play-Based Speech-Language Therapy

Sometimes, when kids are feeling unmotivated or restless during speech therapy, it's important to get creative. Taking inspiration from a trick used at a daycare, I introduced baby wipes as a fun and attention-grabbing tool. The kids loved "cleaning" the play food with the wipes, which not only kept them engaged but also targeted various language and speech goals. The smiles on their faces and the success of the activity made it all worthwhile, plus the added perk of shiny and new-looking play food.
