Description
Spring Action Verbs adapted book for AAC and Gestalt Language Processing (NLA Stages 1–3).
This printable speech therapy activity supports echolalia, hyperlexic learners, and emerging communicators through predictable gestalt phrases and participation-based interaction.
Students point, match, and comment while receiving aided language input — building verb understanding and communication without pressure for novel speech production. Designed for small-group speech therapy, autism classrooms, and early intervention language sessions.
“Let’s + action!”
“Let’s + verb + object!”
“It’s time to + action!”
The predictable structure helps students participate, imitate, and begin mitigating gestalts while interacting with real-world spring activities like puddles, rain, bugs, bikes, and planting.
Ideal for autism support classrooms, resource groups, AAC sessions, and structured table activities where students need concrete visuals and repeated models to engage.
