Using Materials in the Home for EI Sessions: The How and the Why
This presentation will be based on the concept that teachers and therapists should engage families in activities that are developed using routine-based activities and items already found in the families’ homes. Household items readily available, and those that are used throughout a child’s daily routine, are ideal for engaging young children in activities created to enhance the development of spoken language and/or sign language. Current best practice for providing services to children and families in their homes includes using routine-based activities and materials from the families’ homes. The rationale for, and the importance of, supporting parents when they are engaging their children in activities to encourage vocabulary and language development, whether using sign language or spoken language, using only materials typically found in their homes will be discussed. Ideas and suggestions for incorporating vocabulary and language of daily routines, whether in sign language or spoken language, will be explained.
Routine-based activities to promote language development that may be presented include: diapering the child, getting the child dressed and undressed, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, and reading to the child.
This presentation will be provided through a lecture format. Ample time for questions will be included.
