SLPs evaluate and target an individual’s ability to sequence events. Sequencing events requires a person to put steps in order whether completing a task or telling a story.
All children can benefit from developing sequencing skills. Stop every once in a while and see what you child thinks should come next. Here are some ideas of ways you can help develop your child’s sequencing skills:
- Packing for a trip:
- What clothing and other items will you need?
- Is there an order to putting things in?
- Taking things out?
- Baking:
- What ingredients and tools will you need?
- Should you turn the oven on first or put the cookies in first?
- Making cocoa:
- When should you put in the marshmallows?
- Shopping:
- What are the steps to choose and purchase?
- This could easily work with groceries: Should you put produce or frozen items in the cart first?
- Wrapping gifts:
- Which should go on first, paper or ribbon?
Have fun and be silly with these activities!
