The Language House

Developing language and communication in your child takes time and requires patience. It involves an intentional approach of verbal and non-verbal interactions with your child. This will build a strong foundation for the building of our language house. These foundational skills are a prerequisite for talking and building the rest of the house. Module 1 unpacks the various levels of building the language house and how to apply these to everyday interactions with your child.

Object vs People oriented learners

Children learn by observing, listening, exploring, experimenting and asking questions. More specifically, early learners can be classified into object-oriented learners or people-oriented learners. Understanding the mechanisms behind these two types of learning will allow you to respond to your child in a way that he/she receives information, enhancing their capacity to learn and grow optimally. In module 2, we explore the differences between object-oriented and people-oriented learners. Join us as we dive deeper into the strategies and approaches that you can take to enhance your child’s growth and development according to how they learn.

Wait time

Wait time is the amount of time you take to pause and wait during communication with your child. Increasing wait time between verbal interactions is an important strategy to allow enough processing time and will help your child with a language delay. In module 5, we learn how and when to use wait time when interacting with your child. Together, we explore the associated benefits of implementing wait time when communicating with your child.

Make it a conversation not a quiz

Make communicating with your child a conversation, not a quiz. You and your child are both equal partners in the communication process. A communication partner involves at least two people who take turns on either end of the sender-receiver connection. In module 6, we explore different strategies of how you can be a better communication partner for your child.

How storytime and reading helps my child's speech development

Story time and reading

Story time and reading gives your child diverse exposure and more opportunities to connect the spoken word to the written word. Scheduling time for book reading will support your child’s cognitive development and enhance their receptive and expressive language skills. In module 7, we discuss the benefits of story time and reading. Together, we learn about ways to make reading more fun for your child.

Speech therapy tips

Narrate and expand

When you are engaged in play or daily routines with your child, use simple phrases and sentences to talk about or narrate what you are doing. This will help your child become more familiar with his or her surrounding environment and encourage them to use more mature language when trying to communicate. In module 8, we learn how to use self-talk narration, language expansion, and extension techniques during daily routines with your child.
