There are many Mafia Wars tricks that are going around the internet today. Some of them are good and others are worthless. Mafia Wars is one of the most popular interactive text games on the internet today. It is made by a company called Zynga, and it is causing quite a splash in the gaming world. The idea behind the game is to get as many Mafia family members as you can, and earn all the loot and cash as you can possibly get your hands on. You will also need to do something called leveling up, so you can become one of the strongest families in New York. Leveling up is done by attacking other families and defending yourself from attacks. You also get stronger by doing jobs and buying properties. By doing all of the things mentioned, you will build a strong and powerful Mafia family. So lets go over 3 of the Mafia Wars tricks that you will need to do in order to succeed in the game.

1) Lets grow your family:

By doing so you will be able to defend yourself from attacks. Family size is what determines your strength, and being able to get good bonuses. You want to get high ranking members to join your family, and people who are of high levels as well. This is one of the most important  Mafia Wars tricks you can do when first starting out on your adventure.

2) Fighting:

Fighting is a very important thing that revolves around the game. Your fighting will be offensive or defensive, this will depend largely on your strategy. I would not recommend starting out being too aggressive, this will only lead to disaster. If you do want to be a bit aggressive, then make sure you pick on a family that is smaller than yours.

3) Robbing:

Robbing is a part of the game that is done to punish other gangs for unprovoked attacks against your family. Robbing is mainly done to gain loads of money . You get money by robbing casinos and hotels. Actually you can rob another gangs property until you finally put them out of business. The gang that has been robbed must now spend money to do the repairs and to protect their property.

These are just a few of the Mafia Wars tricks that will help you along the way to being the next big mob boss. There are other tricks that you can learn, but just make sure that you move very slowly when first stating out in the game. Moving too fast and making drastic moves is a sure way to disaster.

If you are having trouble playing Mafia Wars, like most of us do when we first start out. Then make sure you have a good Mafia Wars tricks guide to help you along the way. This will help you out so much and you will be able to compete with the big players of the game.

Every year at the center where I work, we enjoy trick-or-treating during the week preceding Halloween. One of my fellow speech-language pathologists (SLPs) said today that this is her favorite week of work. Here's why.

First, there is something magical for children about dressing up as some person or character other than oneself. Smiles grow in size. There is a focus on having fun. This morning, the 8-year-old boy I work with, who functions high on the autism spectrum, had his best day ever in therapy. He wore only the hat from his costume, but it put him in a very interested and interactive mode of thinking. He did extremely well with some of the skills he knows we have been monitoring, such as using "on-task behavior", creating more-advanced language formulation, and producing and self-monitoring correct articulation of s and z sounds in words in his spontaneous speech.

Second, there are some very simple and fun crafts that can be made this time of year, and all sorts of language and speech production can be elicited during the process of making these items.

Finally, children eagerly look forward to the trick-or-treating portion of their session. Each therapy room and some other offices have paper pumpkin faces on them, and the children enjoy looking for these to find the doors they may knock on. For some, there is some receptive language skill building, such as in following directions to "turn left" or "turn right" in our hallways.

So, why did the other SLP say this is the best week for speech-language therapy during the year? Since children are highly motivated to get sweet treats, they are very responsive to models and coaching to practice their best speech and communication abilities. Today she was working with a boy who uses an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) program on an iPad. He was extremely motivated to work hard to remember how to activate the program correctly to produce expressions such as, "Trick-or-treat," "Thank you," and "Happy Halloween."

A 2 ½ year-old boy I work with, who usually can only grunt, was willing and able to try to say, "treat". When the word attempt came out without a strong vowel, I modeled just the "ee" portion of the word, and he imitated it perfectly. He already uses sign language to say thank you. Today, I added the verbal model, and after practicing with just a few people, his production of "you" became perfect. He also tried to say the "ha" portion of happy when I modeled, "Happy Halloween!"

Getting practice in social engagement in a safe, protected setting where everyone knows the children are working hard to gain new skills is a plus for children who need support, including extra time, to communicate. They get practice talking with adults and children they have never met before. They practice making eye contact and sharing the joy of the holiday.

If you are planning to participate in Halloween trick-or-treating (or in a different dress-up holiday if you have another custom where you live,) here are some of my tips:

Prepare your child ahead of time for what to expect, such as that you will go together to different peoples' houses and ring the doorbells, you will say, "trick-or-treat" (or whatever variation of that your child is capable of: "treat," "t," "ee," and so on,) and you will say "thank you" for the treats.

When in front of the person who just gave your child a treat, instead of asking your child a question, such as, "What do you say?" or commanding, "Say 'thank you'," try instead to provide a fill-in-the-blank lead-in, such as, "She gave you candy. You know how to say _____." You can also just pause at the door way, prevent your child from turning away, and point to the person who gave the treat. Such methods, to me, are more respectful and guide the child to use a little more mental energy to recall this polite expression.

Depending on your child's age, speech-language skills, and academic abilities, you can do a variety of things with the candy and other "loot" when you get back home   Loot Tricks. You can sort by brands, by types (candy bars, lollipops, fruit candies), by sweet or sour, by color, or by any method you think of. You can count each group and then add up the entire lot.

Every holiday gives you and your child a fresh opportunity to acquire some new vocabulary, talk about fun things, share in family activities, and smile and talk a little more.

Instead of wishing you a "spooktacular" Halloween, I'll wish you and your child a "speechtacular" holiday!
