A study performed on 3-6 year olds with speech delays found that children learned to pronounce words more quickly when they were allowed to play with small objects representing the words. The children were able to take the toy object, hold it in their hand, and feel the word forming in their mouth.
The objects must be small enough for the child to hold them in their hands but large enough for them to be able to identify what they are supposed to be portraying. This is why miniature objects are a key component of this therapy technique.
Mini Objects for Speech Therapy is a collection of small, individually-wrapped objects designed to help speech therapists practice and maintain their skills. Each pack comes with 7 little objects that are used to practice specific sounds or words.
This product was developed by a speech pathologist with more than 15 years of experience. The developer’s interest in this product came from the need to practice her own speech therapy skills between sessions with clients. She also noticed that other speech therapists would use household items, like coins, to practice. She identified this problem as an opportunity, because not only do these items not always have a good feel for practicing certain sounds/words, but they’re also unhygienic.
The mini objects are designed to help kids with speech therapy. They are small, cute and easy to handle. The mini objects are also safe for kids. It attracts the attention of the kids easily, so they would not get bored easily in their speech therapy sessions.
Mini Objects are a type of speech therapy in which the patient plays with tiny pieces of objects (such as a small cup, a small toy car, or a miniature action figure) during therapy sessions.
Mini Objects are designed to help patients make progress towards overcoming their speech problems. The therapist starts by having the patient use the real version of the objects first, and practice using them as if they were conducting normal activities with an adult-sized version. Next, the therapist provides their patients with the miniature versions of the objects and repeats these activities. This can help reduce frustration in children who have difficulty performing tasks with adult-sized objects.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a speech disorder, such as stuttering or fluency disorders, your doctor may recommend that you try Mini Objects to help you make progress toward overcoming your speech problem. While there is no cure for any speech disorder, therapists often use Mini Objects to help their patients improve their fluency and overall quality of communication.
This application provides a fun way to practice speech therapy exercises.

The kit comes complete with an instruction manual explaining how each object can be used for speech therapy purposes plus some examples of activities using the objects.
