“Teach Me To Talk with Laura and Kate” for Thursday, November 12, 2009

On this week’s podcast we’ll be answering several questions from a couple of different SLPs and will be giving them fresh ideas for treating 4 different preschool children on their caseloads.  Listen in for new ideas for children you might be working with who may be like these kids:

1. 3 year old boy with Williams Syndrome who responds best to music - We’ll be talking about how to use music in a preschool classroom as well as in therapy sessions to maximize his communication skills.

2.  A little boy diagnosed with selective mutism who at school talks only in “nonsense” to his best friend with Down Syndrome.

3. 5 year old on the PDD spectrum who is severely echolalic and who likes to play with bubbles. 

4. A gifted and talented kindergarten student with poor rate and intonation is poor. He speaks very slowly and in a drawn out way and his intonation goes in highs and lows out of nowhere.
