I first found communakit at ASHA 23 and I bought the touch and talk kit. I have been using so frequently with my kiddos. They love all the textures and items and I love the cards and all the ways to stimulate communication. Every SLP needs one of these!! I will certainly buy more in the future!
I bought the Barrier Bundle during a sale, and I am so glad I did! The bundle includes 2 kits of "People, Places, and Things" along with the barrier. The kits are filled with high-interest items and are great for working on vocabulary, prepositions, location concepts, pronouns, following 1-step and multi-step directions, telling stories, and so much more. I could go on and on. I had a student with Apraxia and social anxiety, but when she started playing with the items in the kit, during some one-on-one moments, she was able to use 1-3 word sentences because she was so motivated by the items. I highly recommend these kits!
We purchased all three kits for our pre-kindergarten children and absolutely love how straightforward and practical the kits are. My kids love playing with them and their vocabulary and comprehension have increased since using the kits. Not only are the kits & cards simple to use, the kits can also be mixed and matched to expand imaginary play to continue learning and keep play interesting for my kids. Highly recommend.
I purchased these at the Greater Edmonton Teacher's Convention, with the idea being that they could help a few students in my classroom. I use them ALL the time. These are not only a great addition to help students work on IPP goals in a fun, interactive way, but I often use them to engage social interactions with peers. All the students like working with the kits and "helping" their peers. The kits make great story starters and it is amazing how many literature connections you can make with these cute, simple objects (eg. bears - Goldilocks and the Three Bears for a Fairy Tale unit, retelling, etc.). Love, love, love these! I strongly recommend them.
We purchased the Communakit as a tool for everyone of our preschool and Kindergarten classrooms to use to enhance and support programming of the SLPs or practice in between therapy sessions. We have had great feedback from school teams and have had other grade levels and parents want access to the kits. I could not have been happier with the results of the communakits when they arrived as their product is of the highest quality, and their commitment to getting it right everytime is admirable. Connie have always ensured that we have what we need to implement use of the kits while ensuring the integrity of her practice is clearly aligned in her vision for her business. Yes it is her business, but it is so much more than that to her. It is her passion and you can feel that with every interaction with her. Would recommend 5 Stars*****
As a very busy school-based SLP, these kits have decreased my stress and helped me feel way more organized! Grateful for the helpful explanations and support as well.
I purchased the In Out and All About kit for my almost 4 year old and she loves it! I always thought her language skills were great, but this kit is a really great tool to narrow down where we could put more effort in. I love that it's an easy to use, all in one kit to gauge where she is at. She especially loves being the one to give me the directions. I can't wait to keep going with this one, and purchase the next level up when she's ready!
These materials and instructional prompts are phenomenal. Families and students love them. They are perfect for integrating talking while playing/manipulating objects, which can be so hard for the students we see. The materials can be combined in many new ways so that flexibility of language and novel sentence structures can be practiced. The language level can easily be adapted for your learner. The use of these materials is almost endless; I have been using them for 4 months nonstop since their purchase, with no end in sight.
Robyn was absolutely incredible to deal with-the BEST costumer service, fast shipping and delivery of the product our school division needed. Thank you Robyn...we will definitely be ordering again in the future!
The communakit sets are a must have for any family needing to practice and engage their children in learning how to further their speech.
We bought the super sentences kit for my girls, one of which was diagnosed with a severe language delay. Since we started using it, her speech has improved so much.
The kit come with little scene cards that the kids will use to practice their language. I’m a firm believer in learning through play and this kit has been a dream. They’ve gone from using the pre-made cards to now creating their own scenes and sentences.
Also, Connie and Robin are wonderful. They are super friendly and explain their kits so well. If you are on the fence about getting their kits, don’t wait! You won’t regret it! 💕
Communakit has been such a well-received resource for our teachers and our students. Having something that doesn't require any preparation, and that is so flexible to meet the needs of a variety of students has been so beneficial. Connie and Robyn have also been super responsive and helpful, answering all of our questions and requests. Highly recommend!
I have used these communokits in a variety of settings with ease. As a parent and educator I am thankful for a ready to use resource that is not only good quality but also thoughtfully sourced and developed!
We bought these for our division. They are so great for following directions. We also have the barrier, which makes for fun barrier games!
I am a speech language pathologist and recently purchased "The Whole Kit & Kaboodle." Thus far this kit has been used with (in-person) prek4 to grade 4 students. I have been primarily using the kit to target following directions, prepositions, and grammar. It has been so helpful to have manipulatives and visuals that can be used to scaffold or fade supports, within a less drill based and more play based therapy style. The versatility of the kits is fantastic - not just for ages and abilities but also for goals and concepts! Highly recommend!
I used my beginning Communakit with a young scholar who had difficulty attending to materials, following directions and verbally communicating. She loves working with the kit utilizing the chairs and photos. She is beginning to initiate asking to work on the kit during our sessions. Thank you so much.
I have all three kits for use in my EAL high school class! They are amazing for soooo many reasons. They help my students physically show me they understand positions, their colors, sizes, shapes, placements, compare and contrast, category sort, even just plain old vocabulary! Naming items, moving items, such amazing manipulatives and resources! Including the data sheets, tracing sheets, work sheets to work with the compare and contrast and category sort ideas! Thank you! And bonus, I bought the sets at a conference, so they had all the sheets laminated and sorted and organized too! SWEEEET! I was able to use it the Monday when I got back to school! No prep!
Communakits were one of the best purchases our school has ever made. The students love them, whether working with our SLP Aide or with a teacher or TA in the classroom. They are hands-on, and engaging for the students. We have been using these kits for several years and they have all stood the test of time and small hands. I would recommend these kits to any school.
The resources provided were excellent. The step by step programing and added use of manipulatives helped to cater to multiple learning styles.
My preschoolers just LOVE the manipulatives! And I love the cards that enable me to target a variety of language skills at the same time in language groups. I have the Super Sentences Learning Kit, and will be purchasing the other kits in the near future. The Communakit people have been great to work with - my wooden chair broke, and they sent me a new one without hesitation. Highly recommend!
We came across the Communakit during a homeschool conference. Our children enjoy learning from this kit! We specifically have used it to teach our children Spanish. Although the cards do not come translated in Spanish, we can still use the pre-written sentences with our children. We have the Super Sentences kit and so much learning has come from it!
Excellent product. My clients love the little toys and the materials are extremely versatile for targeting language goals.
