===Games You Can Play with Your Child=== Whether or not you use a professional therapist, your child spends more time at home than in therapy, and he learns from you first. You can help him develop voluntary imagination by simply asking him questions and giving him tasks. Being your child’s therapist-in-chief is no different than any other parent-child relationship, and consistency is the key. Make your playtime together a routine, and use every opportunity to exercise his brain. Here are [http://languagedelay.org/index.php/Language_Therapy_As_A_Game twenty-nine games], starting with the simplest and building up to adult-level proficiency. These games make up a large part of MITA and work together as a course to develop your child’s voluntary imagination. It will likely take your child several years to progress from the first game to the last. There’s no timeline for completing the course. Stay with each exercise as long as necessary to master it before moving on to the next level of difficulty. Be flexible and allow your child to learn in the way that is most natural for him. Set aside a specific time to play these games at least once a day and prompt your child to apply the lessons to different situations throughout the day.
