Isn't it frustrating when a toddler doesn't seem to want to play with toys? This is a fairly common issue for young children with developmental delays. Our first instinct may be to think that the child doesn't like the toy (or any toy!), but that's usually not the problem. Join pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize, M. S., CCC-SLP of teachmetotalk.com as she explains what's really going on and teaches you the perfect place to start to help a child learn to play with toys. It's a strategy called DECONSTRUCTION and it's a powerful way to help a toddler begin to play. Read the entire post at Laura's website, teachmetotalk.com. which includes links for purchasing toys which are fantastic for using this strategy and for a podcast explaining this technique in great detail: http://teachmetotalk.com/2016/04/09/w...
