Early childhood communication development
Supporting Communication
| Duration | 1 hour |
| Delivery | Your choice of live online, in-person, or pre-recorded presentation |
Based on speech therapy practice, and the Hanen programs, this presentation explores the importance of communicating effectively with children by matching their communication style and level, and scaffolding the child’s skills in this area. Basic communication stages, motivators and purposes are defined. A range of supporting strategies are introduced including visuals, Key Word Signs and communication temptations. These can be used for any child with almost any communication delay, regardless of its cause. Fictional case studies are included to offer opportunities for educators to brainstorm together.
