Description

Key Features
  • 80 cards total: 40 Object Cards + 40 Function Cards
  • Two card types work together: Object Cards feature a decontextualised illustration of the object alone; Function Cards feature a contextualised illustration showing the object being used in a real-life scene
  • Consistent, predictable prompts on every card back support structured teaching and independent use (e.g., *You use a cup to… You use a cup to drink. You _____ with a cup. You drink with a cup.**)
  • Colour-coordinated card backs make matching activities quick and intuitive
  • Probe and teach in one deck — use Object Cards to informally assess a child’s knowledge, then use Function Cards to explicitly teach the target concept
  • Ideal for speech and language therapist, teachers, and parents
Contents
  • 80 cards total: 40 Object Cards + 40 Function Cards (4″x4″ Cards)
Benefits
  • Working on object functions helps children form meaningful connections between the things they see every day and the actions associated with them — a foundational step in language development. The Box of Object Functions supports this by:
    • Moving beyond labeling — children learn not just what something is called, but what it does and how it’s used, building richer, more flexible vocabulary
    • Connecting nouns to verbs — pairing objects with actions (e.g., cut with scissorsdrink from a cup) strengthens the language networks children need for communication
    • Developing functional vocabulary that children can use in everyday routines and real-world contexts
    • Strengthening comprehension and verbal expression across settings
    • Laying the groundwork for higher-level language skills such as categorisation, comparing and contrasting, describing, and inferencing
    • Providing a structured, predictable format that supports learners who benefit from routine and repetition
