ASHA CEU Course #384 Tips for Teaching Toddlers to Point
This ASHA CEU Course #0384, Tips for Teaching Toddlers to Point, explained the importance of gestural development in toddlers and discussed three sequential steps for teaching toddlers to point.
Pointing is such an important way to communicate –especially for late-talking toddlers. I call it the quintessential gesture because once toddlers learn how to point, they’ve reached a new milestone for communicating. We no longer have to guess what they want; they’re showing us! We refer to pointing as a gesture – or a nonverbal way to communicate a specific message. Research from firstwordsproject.com states that toddlers should have 16 gestures by 16 months. Gestures always precede spoken words in language development; it’s a predictor of when toddlers begin to use words. Join pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize, M.S., CCC-SLP of teachmetotalk.com as she shares tips for teaching toddlers to point. Therapists – get 1 hour CE credit for this show for only $5!
