What to do with a late talker?
When parents notice signs of speech/language delay in their child, many choose to take a "wait and see" approach, with the hope that their child will eventually catch up with the developmental norms. But can your child really afford to wait?
This 2-hour webinar will give you the CLARITY you need on whether your child is suitable for the "wait and see" approach, or if there are red flags that warrant a professional consult asap.
Want to find out HOW to guide your little one to speak more? Want to give his language development a boost? Believe it or not, telling a late talker to copy after you IS NOT the best way to teach him how to talk.
Remember, a strong base leads to a sturdy house. Just like a child has to learn how to walk steadily before she could learn to run, a child who does not have the foundational language skills won't talk very much. Before a child can talk communicatively, there are at least 8 foundational skills he needs to master first.
If you are a parent/educator to a late talker, this talk is for you. I'll share with you the thought processes speech-language therapists use to assess a late talker. This framework will help to tease out WHY the child isn't using as many words as he is supposed to be. For each of the 8 foundational skills, I provide clear examples of how they look like in young children, and what you can do at home to help a child improve in that particular skill.
