Facilitating
Verbal Communication
-
Speak
at a normal intensity at a slightly slower rate of speech
using “clear speech” (see clear speech). Always use your
voice, even when you sign.
-
Position
yourself 2-6 feet from your child. Obtain your child’s attention
before you start talking.
-
Use
normal mouth movements with your mouth clearly visible and
the light source on you face (not your back).
-
Talk
about things that interest your child in sentences 1-3 words
longer than the sentences your child uses spontaneously.
-
-
Monitor
your child’s comprehension of what is being said. Utilize
repair strategies to facilitate comprehension.
