ASHA CEU COURSE #0021 Comprehend: The 7 C’s of Communication
What if a child isn’t talking because he doesn’t understand enough language yet?
In this episode of our 7 C’s of Communication series, join pediatric speech-language pathologists Laura Mize, M.S., CCC-SLP and Macy Mize Usher, M.S., CCC-SLP from teachmetotalk.com to discuss the 4th C… Comprehension.
Before children can use words, they have to understand words. We’ll discuss the receptive language skills toddlers should be developing, why following simple directions matters so much, how comprehension and cognition work together, and the signs that a child may be understanding less or more than adults realize. We’ll also share practical strategies parents and therapists can use right away to strengthen understanding during everyday routines because kids learn language from people, not screens, and real life always beats flashcards. If you work with late talkers, minimally verbal children, or autistic toddlers, this episode will help you figure out what to watch for and what to teach next.
These 7 key areas are the building blocks of a child’s early communication skills and consequently, these are the areas we should first assess and then address when a child is not talking yet.
Whether you’re a parent of a late talker or a professional working in early intervention, this episode will help you:
- understand what really drives language development
- identify which foundational skills may be missing so that you can develop a comprehensive treatment plan
- learn how to support communication development using these 7 areas
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why Comprehension is important for language development
- What does it look like when a child is beginning to comprehend?
- What could it mean diagnostically when a child struggles to comprehend language?
- Strategies to strengthen comprehension with a toddler or preschooler with language delays
Who This Is For:
Course appropriate for SLPs and other therapists (OT, PT, and EI Developmental Specialists/Therapists) who work with pediatrics in various settings including state or county-based early intervention providers, outpatient pediatric therapy clinics, infant/toddler and preschool programs, and other childcare settings and parents of autistic children
