ASHA CEU Course #378 Teaching Vowels and Initial Consonants to Improve Speech Intelligibility In Toddlers
Many times when we’re working with toddlers with speech intelligibility issues, we don’t know where to begin – or we start working on the wrong things and are met with little progress and lots of frustration! In this show, I’ll teach you 2nd and 3rd patterns, vowels and initial consonants, to prioritize when working with toddlers. Explain to parents why these patterns are important to speech development and how to determine if their toddler uses this pattern already. Join pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize, M.S., CCC-SLP of teachmetotalk.com for this one-hour audio/video podcast.
