Speech Therapy: Storm of the Brains

Children with communication challenges often have trouble retelling past events.  This may make it hard for them to tell you about something that happened or communicate clearly about past events.

In order for a child to be able to retell past events, they first must be able to answer questions about past events.  This helps us to know if they can remember the details and bring them to mind.  Once we are sure the child can do that, then we need to teach them how to put the steps to common activities in order.  This shows us that they know how to form and use sequences.

Once the child has mastered these two previous skills, they are ready to learn how to retell past events with the details in the correct order. Here are the resources for teaching this skill.
