ASHA CEU Course #392 Prelinguistic Skill #7 Understands Familiar Words and Follows Directions
In this one-hour audio and video podcast, we’re explaining in detail Skill #7 Understands Familiar Words and Follows Directions. Speech-language pathologists refer to this skill as receptive language or how a child understands what he hears. Kids learn how to understand words before they learn to use words to communicate. When a toddler has difficulty following directions, we know that he will have difficulty learning to talk. Many times parents overestimate what a child truly understands. The ONLY way we know that a child is comprehending is by paying attention to how he responds when we talk to him. If a toddler does not complete verbal requests by 18 months, it is very likely that he has a receptive language delay. Even a mild delay in a child’s ability to understand and process language can result in a cascade of other developmental issues. Watch this show, ASHA CEU Course #392 Prelinguistic Skill #7 Understands Familiar Words and Follows Directions, for ways therapists and parents can help toddlers improve their receptive language skills.

- Be open to changing how you talk to a child. Keep your language simple most of the time.
- Stay together and talk directly to a toddler as often as possible about what she’s doing.
- Focus on teaching words a child to understand words he can use during everyday activities –
not academic words like shapes, colors, letters, and numbers. - Avoid apps and screens to teach language. Toddlers learn best by DOING!
- Emphasize important words by repeating them and including them at the ends of phrases.
- Give him clues or “cues” when she doesn’t understand. “Tell her, show her, help her.”
- Allow plenty of time for a child to respond.
- Set up frequent opportunities throughout the day for a child to demonstrate that he understands. Teach a child to “do her part.”
- Have fun! Don’t make all your requests serious. Ask for a kiss, a hug, or silly requests too!
Learning Objectives
- Explain how receptive language delays impact expressive language development.
- Identify at least 5 strategies parents can use at home with toddlers with language delays to strengthen receptive language skills.
