Please review any work that comes home in your child's speech folder.
If your child is having difficulty understanding you, slow down your rate of
speech and simplify your language. Make sure you have your child's attention
before you ask him or her to follow a direction.
If your child is having difficulty with expressive language, be an active
listener and listen for the content of the message. Then elaborate slightly
on what the child said. (i.e., Child, "Juice." Parent: "You want juice.")
For problems with articulation, emphasize the sounds your child might be
having trouble with (i.e., Child: "Look at the dand!" Parent: "Yes, look at
the sssand.")
Please see me for more specific exercises for your child. Remember to always
be a good speech model!
