Students at Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center explored new foods, built communication skills, and strengthened fine motor development this summer through Snack Group, a collaborative program led by Speech-Language Pathologist Kate Brown and Occupational Therapist Jenny Saulmon. 👏
Meeting once a week during the Extended School Year, Snack Group encouraged students to see, touch, smell, and taste a variety of nutritious foods while practicing communication, expanding their vocabulary, using utensils, and exploring colors, textures, and tastes. At the same time, students strengthened motor planning, fine motor coordination, and sensory skills through hands-on experiences.
This innovative program was inspired by professional learning at the Missouri Speech-Language and Hearing Association convention and came to life through collaboration among our Speech-Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, and classroom teachers.
We are grateful for the creativity and teamwork that continue to provide meaningful learning experiences for our students. 💜
