Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Intervention for Toddlers with Communication Delays: Practical Strategies" was created out of concern for the increasing number of children identified with developmental language disorders, including those with autism spectrum disorder, and the lack of adequate resources for them. This manual addresses communication skills for toddlers between the ages of 0-3 years old with communication delays. Since language and overall communication skills are so closely associated with future school success, therapists and caregivers should be equipped to build these skills in children. This manual has been designed with a view to the difficulties faced by therapists and caregivers of children with communication delays during day-to-day interactions. The activities can be used in a wide variety of settings. They can be used in the therapy rooms of speech-language pathologists (SLPs), preschool classrooms, daycare settings, and children's homes. The activities are especially ideal for SLPs who conduct home visits to provide intervention in children's natural, daily settings.This manual is intended to guide the therapist or caregiver in selecting the target skills that a child should be trained in.The lesson plans outline the activities that need to be undertaken to elicit specific responses from children and establish a range of developmental skills. The simple lesson plans are intended to get the therapist or caregiver started on the process of stimulating the child in each of the domains that he or she needs help in, at their current level of functioning. Language development has two major aspects: receptive skills, or the understanding of language, and expressive skills, or the speaking of the language. In children with communication delays, both of these aspects need to be looked at, since a child who cannot understand language will not learn to speak it. In the case of a child with a developmental language disorder, one of the aspects maybe selectively impaired. In this manual are activities and ideas that are aimed at making the learning and use of language fun and fruitful.Also included are "Tech Tips" with recommended YouTube videos, websites, Pinterest sites, and other online resources.These online resources provide the therapist or caregiver with excellent ideas for products and practical intervention strategies that can be used for a variety of purposes when serving young children with special needs.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A great new resource for those practicing or teaching courses in phonetics, articulation disorders, diagnostics, or clinic practicum, this DVD features carefully selected, completed case studies of children with articulation/phonological disorders that help in the practical application of phonetic transcription, learning of assessment procedures, and development of therapy goals/plans. This video representation of clients enables students to assess and observe the various behaviors - crucially including nonverbal communication behavior - to facilitate a thorough assessment of the client's communication skills rather than just an audio-recorded speech sample. It also fills the gap in the limited exposure students receive in using phonetics before entering their graduate program in communication sciences and disorders, since undergraduate or pre-requisite courses in phonetics introduce the basic skills in the transcription of normal speech, but generally fail to cover disordered speech. Furthermore, the DVD demonstrably saves supervisors time, so that they do not have to spend valuable working hours teaching the clinical practicum skills that a graduate is expected to know.Unique in that it is the only product to use multiple case studies to show both the evaluation and intervention aspects in speech-language pathology, this DVD commences with a review of phonetics, illustrating the IPA; aspects of normal articulation and phonological development; and a review of different types of assessment measurements and analyses.Thereafter, a range of illustrative, video-based case studies include information about the child's background (medical, social, psychological, and educational), an administered standardized measure, speech sample, results of these evaluation measures, and suggested treatment goals for each child. Students can also practice their transcription skills with immediate feedback so that they can compare their answers with the sample transcription. Visual stimuli are shown simultaneously as the child is speaking, helping the user to know and understand the context, which is critical when analyzing a child's speech. Whether student, instructor, beginning or experienced speech-language pathologist, this DVD will prove an invaluable education and self-assessment resource. A great new resource for those practicing or teaching courses in phonetics, articulation disorders, diagnostics or clinic practicum, this DVD features carefully selected, completed case studies of children with articulation/phonological disorders that help in the practical application of phonetic transcription and learning of assessment procedures.
