Using Reusable Sticker Sets in Play

Everybody loves stickers, but they can only be used once. Reusable sticker sets can be a fun and cost effective activity time and time again. 

There are many different types of reusable sticker sets. For example, some have faces, others have plates, and some have settings like fire stations or grocery stores. These sets are beneficial when targeting a variety of speech and language skills and play!

Find them here!

Here are some ideas for ways to incorporate your reusable sticker set at home or even on the go, in the car:

Follow 1-2 Step Directions

Encourage your child to carry out commands like, “put the girl in the chair” or “take the lips off then put the teeth on.” 

Language Modeling

Playing with reusable stickers can be a great way for grown ups to narrate what is happening in the scene you’re putting on the page together. For instance, “Look, the firefighter is holding the dog! Walk, walk, walk down the stairs. The dog says woof because he’s happy!” Consider targeting some specific language concepts:

Prepositions

Verbally model locational words like in, on, beside, under, below, and above while placing stickers on the scene. “The dog is next to the fruit stand!” “The ambulance is below the fire truck.” 

Pronouns

With so many different characters in the reusable sticker scenes, it’s easy to model how to use appropriate pronouns during play without needing to use drill practice. “She is holding the cat.” “He is doing his homework” “They are sitting at the table together.”

Recasting

For children with expressive language or articulation goals, reusable sticker scenes can be a good opportunity to recast your child’s speech or language errors. 

Child: “The dentist is cleaning her tooths!” (language)

Grown up: “You’re right! The dentist is cleaning her TEETH! She looks so happy.”

Child: “He’s eating the take” (articulation)

Grown up: “Wow! He thinks that CAKE is so yummy. Mmm Mmm CAKE!”

These are just a few of the ways grown ups can utilize reusable sticker sets at home with their children.  The above strategies will encourage carryover of language and articulation skills targeted during therapy. Finding a set that appeals to your child can create a motivating toy that can be used over and over again. Enjoy!

Great place, glad we found them. Been going to Medina over 2 months now and he loves Lauryn and Kyler. Wish they had more ABA therapy places available... live in Wooster and long drive everyday.

My 11 year old son has dyslexia and has made noticeable gains in working At LLA THERAPY. Katie is strong in her approach toward him and also keeps him comfortable enough to perform well. We will continue visiting both the Fairlawn and Hudson offices and recommend them highly.

My 9 year old just completed about 9 months of weekly speech sessions (due to his stuttering) with Matt Hagge at LLA and we are thrilled with the experience and results. What I thought might be a negative (what kid really wants to go to speech class?) was made very positive by Matt, and my son never hesitated or complained when we talked about class. He really enjoyed it and really took what Matt taught him to heart. His speech has been greatly improved and we definitely recommend LLA. Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough good things about LLA Therapy. My daughter was a client of Teal Simmons’ for approximately 2 years and was just released from speech therapy! She was diagnosed with Apraxia in 2015 and worked with Teal twice a week. Through Teal’s application of PROMPT therapy, my daughter had age-appropriate speech after one year. All of the staff we interacted with at LLA were absolutely wonderful. They really care about what they do and making sure your child achieves their goals.

LLA Therapy has been an excellent experience for my son as well as my family! My son always asks, "When can I go see Ms. Jeannine again, is it Monday??" He has also made huge gains in only 5 months! I would highly recommend LLA and have already shared my experience with friends looking for services!

We are so grateful for our Speech Therapist Ms.Teal. We have seen a great improvement with our sons confidence and communication abilities since we have started "Prompt" therapy. What we love the most about LLA and Ms. Teal is that Kohl feels comfortable and relaxed which has played a critical role in his progress. Thank you Ms. Teal for all you have done.

They have helped in numerous ways. Speech, OT and behavioral. I've had numerous compliments on my son's progress thanks in very large part to LLA. I would recommend LLA before I recommend our local children's hospitals, though they are good, they don't have the staff that LLA does.

We had a great experience with Matt Hagge at LLA! Our Middle School age son was becoming very conscious of his voice, which is nasal due to a cleft palate. Matt helped him to better form his sounds and project his voice in a way that makes the unavoidable nasality less noticeable.Our son is more confident and outgoing & even took on a speaking role in the church play. Matt has the perfect personality to relate with our son, and we would recommend him to anyone needing speech therapy services!
