How can I help?
Top tips
- Offer a choice of two items e.g. activities, food objects, toys, photos of favourite places
- Name each choice as you show it e.g. ‘park or swimming?’
- Accept all attempts at communication e.g. pointing, grabbing, and taking you to the item. Name the item to let your child hear a good example
