Connect: The 7 C’s of Communication – Course #0019 Therapists Register for ASHA CEU Credits

Description

In this Teach Me To Talk: Take 2 episode, speech-language pathologists Laura Mize and Macy Mize Usher discuss Connection which is the second of The 7 C’s of Communication.

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 Connecting is important for language development
• What does it look like when a child is connected?
• What could it mean diagnostically when a child struggles to connect with other people?
• Strategies to strengthen connection with a toddler or preschooler with language delays
• Activities that are universally appealing to most young children to strengthen connection

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
