This activity uses a familiar children’s song to help people with aphasia practice verb retrieval and sentence building through music and repetition. It provides a playful, family-centered way to support language use while participating in meaningful interactions with young children (ages 2-6). This printable therapy activity is for speech-language pathologists working with adult patients, covering Aphasia. Print Resource, US Letter, 5 pages. Members can view and print it.
Use this resource when a patient, family, or colleague asks:
- How do I adapt VNeST for functional family based practice?
- How can I use songs to support verb retrieval in aphasia therapy?
- What activities help people with aphasia practice language with young children?
