What is the theory behind why question speech therapy worksheets?
“Why” question speech therapy worksheets are based on the theory that asking “why” questions can help individuals with language disorders improve their understanding of relationships between concepts and events. These worksheets typically present scenarios or situations, and ask the individual to answer a series of “why” questions about them. The goal is to help the individual develop the ability to understand the cause-and-effect relationships within a given situation, which can improve their overall language comprehension and ability to communicate. Additionally, it can help them to understand the reasoning behind things and make connections between different concepts.
