Course Outline
This course aims to equip caregivers and teachers with an understanding of the different stages of communication in children with special needs. Through case examples and video demonstrations, participants will learn various strategies to build language and communication skills in children who have delays or disorders in language learning. For consistency and continuity of language use, the course will highlight how to embed strategies in a child’s daily routines so that language learning can happen during interaction and socialization in natural settings.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to :
- Learn essential, basic concepts about communication and stages of communication development
- Understand the importance of the child’s active participation in frequent, extended communicative interactions in daily routines at home
- Learn strategies and ideas to facilitate and enhance communication in their children with communication delays
- Learn to apply language facilitation strategies across contexts so intervention becomes a natural part of parent-child interactions.
