How to encourage your learner to press their sound buttons. Whether you’ve had talking buttons for a while but haven’t had that first independent press yet or want to set yourself up for success, here’s what you need to know.

The common causes of learners stopping using their buttons, and how to help them get talking again.

If your learner seems to struggle with accuracy or activating the buttons, use target practice to help them press accurately and confidently.

This is a technique to try if your learner is spamming buttons or pressing them so often you can’t reasonably give them their favourite thing every time!

Spamming is one of the things people are most concerned about before they begin teaching, and it’s a phase that a lot of learners go through at some point. Don’t panic.
