Make speech and language practice fun, interactive, and engaging with the Blast Off Board Starter Set! Designed by a speech-language pathologist, this dynamic tool is perfect for helping children develop essential communication skills while keeping them actively engaged. Whether you're a therapist working with children with apraxia, articulation delays, or language disorders, or a parent or teacher looking for an exciting way to reinforce speech practice, the Blast Off Board offers a unique and motivating approach. Unlike traditional picture cards, this two-sided board provides a "Push-Point" action to teach pointing, while also incorporating imitation, naming, following directions, and answering questions into play-based learning. With its expandable design, additional overlays and magnet sets (sold separately) allow for endless customization to target specific speech and language goals.

Identifying and naming common objects
