Review
This therapy plan focuses on helping young children transition smoothly into the back-to-school routine. It uses familiar classroom themes to build comfort, encourage communication, and support early language development.
Children are introduced to everyday school vocabulary such as bag, book, teacher, and classroom. Activities are designed to promote participation, imitation, and simple sentence use. The plan also supports social interaction through turn-taking and shared play.
The structured routine helps reduce anxiety and builds confidence in communication during the early school phase.
