This guide is designed to help PARENTS teach their child to use FUNctional speech and language.
Is your child showing the signs that they are READY to improve?
- You know your child is LISTENING to learn language from videos, songs, or Ms. Rachel but they don’t know how to use their memorized speech FUNctionally.
- Your child has started experimenting with echolalia, gestalt scripts.
- Your child hyper-focused and learning complex information (Einstein Syndrome).
- You have heard speech on the monitor or caught your child watching themselves "talk" in the mirror.
- You may have been told in an evaluation that your child’s age, nonverbal status, short attention, and stimming behaviors mean that they will never use speech…
- BUT you have heard them occasionally say the right words at home.
- OR they sometimes copy things that you say.
- AND you can tell in your heart that they really do want to talk!
Unfortunately, the popular verbal-behavior therapy models encourage parents to CONTROL their child’s language learning through bribes, manipulation, sign language, PECS, and endless requests and prompts to imitate or “use their words”.
Speech and language development should feel EASY and FUN.
With this guide, now YOU have the opportunity to plan and execute FUNctional speech and language learning EVERY day.
You will learn how to supercharge your everyday housekeeping, cooking, yardwork, and parenting activities (and more) into natural language facilitation opportunities with strategies that make life EASIER.
With progress so fast, the strategies in this guide will become your NEW toolbox.
