You will explore practical ways to scaffold expressive language, build syntactic structures, and encourage spontaneous communication in everyday contexts. What you'll learn: Understand core language development stages and common syntactic challenges; Apply structured gestural and physical prompting systems to signal sentence structure; Teach functional connectives and conjunctions to expand sentence length and complexity; Design written prompt routines and interactive communication routines for daily life; Identify progress indicators and adapt scaffolding strategies as the child advances. The course begins with essential developmental terminology and foundational linguistic concepts before moving into step-by-step techniques and practical scenarios. This course is designed for parents, educators, and support professionals seeking beginner-friendly, accessible communication strategies with no prior speech therapy background required.
