- the flash cards are a technique routinely suggested by speech therapists and they suggest you use pictures of stuff from your own house
- it’s not to help him to read
- yes Polaroids are expensive. She could have just printed pictures
- they aren’t to be used for him to point at something he wants
- they are to help young children associate words with concrete objects. Understanding is the first step to speech. So, she might lay some out and say ‘where’s the ball? Point to the ball?’ etc. Or if he’s not even at that stage yet, just showing him the card and saying the word over and over so eventually he’ll be able to pick out the ‘ball’ card when she asks for it.
