Role Playing as SpeechDelay Kids

i am having fun on this. really...
though i am not sure what and how the speech delays kids alike
Wow, Alex is really amazing, he can act and be like what the role it is...

this groupis designed for children who aged 7 - 9 years old , and they were having language difficulty, most of them could only speak single word.

The planning of the group:
Session No: 5/10 Date : 5 July 2009Duration : 30 - 45 minutes
Main aims of session: social development ,cognitive development and language development

Session Plan: Warming up, main development and closure

First and foremost, tje facilitator was trying to used the "sounds" to help the children warming up. they were asked to hold hands together in circle. they moved in circle and making the movement of wind and thunderstorms. (i felt the thunderstorms is a bit scary...)
(when i was doing this, i also try to pretend that my hand was hurt, and cannot follow the activities. the facilitator was aware, and trying to not forcing me, but as speech delay kids, i am thinking, how would they expressed their pain/ hurt if there is....)

after that, the facilitator gave the colours cloth to the children and asked them to spells out the single word. in this rainbow colour activity, facilitator passed the colour cloth to each children and has them to repeat the colour mentioned by the facilitator; for instance, the facilitator will said" Red"..... then the children will follow the pronounciation "Red", Orange....Orange...and any object that was related to this colour.

In this point, i think it's really enjoying; just there is a children cannot say and cannot expressed at all, when came to Yellow colour, there is a children spell "nana.. nana"; actually the children is trying to say "BANANA"
i am trying to follow what has instructed by the facilitator and i felt that iam enjoying, and is really more relaxing.

when came to closure part, the children was greeting on their active participant and safe journey home.

o... dealing with special groups definitely not my expertise. BUT, in my worked place, it's became a demand when there is parents walked in and asked for help on their special child. guess, i can be a information provider for their concern, if i am having the basic knowledge how to deal with the special children.

there is great compassion for the children who needs patient
