3. I. Settings and Delivery Models**  SLP just consults with caregivers (parents, day care workers, preschool teachers)  Work directly in the classroom or day care setting (me going into Head Start classroom at my school)  Home visits—direct tx in home  The child can come to the SLP’s room for group or 1:1

4. II. Focused Stimulation**  The clinician repeatedly models the target structure during a play activity

5. III. Parallel and Self Talk**  Parallel talk: the SLP plays with the child and comments on what the child is doing  Self talk: the SLP describes what she is doing

6. IV. Extension**  The SLP adds new information to the child’s utterance  With a partner, extend these utterances:  Me pet kitty.  Doggy bark.  Want cereal.  Swim!

7. V. Mand-Model

8. VI. Recasting**  The SLP repeats the child’s sentence but changes the modality or voice of the sentence  Child: I’m hungry.  SLP: You are feeling hungry?  Child: Doggy chased kitty.  SLP: Yes, the kitty was chased by the doggy.

9. VII. Specific Techniques for Caregivers (Hanen)

10. Hanen**  Sticking with what the child is “talking” about and not trying to get him interested in something else (e.g., if the child is showing the parent how he can drive his toy car along the kitchen floor, the parent then talks about what he is doing with the car, not the colour of the car or about the toy train)

11. VIII. Helping Young Children Learn to Join Groups

12. IX. Youtube Videos: Practical Strategies  Write down 4 activities you like and think you will implement  Games that Aid Toddler Development  Homeschool Toddler Learning Wall

13. X. IncorporatingSensory Activities into Language Therapy**  Many children—even those who are older—have sensory issues that need to be addressed  Ideally, an OT does this—but many times we don’t have an OT available  These ideas are from an ASHA 2015 workshop I attended in Denver

14. Specific Activities

17. We will make clean mud!**  Toilet paper or tissue  Add water  Add soap/dishwashing detergent  Write down 3 language goals you could work on and we will share them with the class  For example: “Jeffrey will describe his actions using 2-word phrases when asked “what are you doing?”

18. When you write tx objectives, remember:**  Phonology/articulation  Pragmatics  Semantics  Syntax  Morphology

20. Encourage print awareness, making sure they know these terms:**  Uppercase, lowercase letter  Book  Cover  Page  Sentence  Comma  Period  Question mark

21. Teach concepts with pictures and a mirror:
