IN-SYNCH: Matching Listening, Spoken Language and Developmental Milestones in Early Intervention
Following a child’s lead as he interacts with his world gives valuable insight into what a child’s thoughts and interests are, allowing the therapist to appropriately stimulate listening and spoken language within meaningful contexts. Following the lead that typical developmental milestones offer gives valuable cues for the therapist in planning intervention strategies that promote developmental synchrony. This presentation is filled with practical strategies to be used in Early Intervention with the 0-3 population and their families in order that attunement takes place between caregiver and child. The strategies follow and utilize developmental milestones in order to set the stage for listening and spoken language intervention. Participants will become familiar with developmental milestones and the strategies they inspire. These strategies are easily implemented by caregivers/families in a child’s natural environment as they can be embedded into daily routines.
- Explain the importance of developmental synchrony and caregiver/child attunement. Identify a variety of strategies for stimulating listening and spoken language utilizing developmental milestones across domains. Design listening and spoken language intervention strategies/activities based on specific stages of development.
