It is very important that your child or client is able to comprehend your language, at least to some extent. Being able to comprehend language will help them follow directions, and let them know what is wanted from them. So that’s why today’s episode will focus on how to build receptive language abilities; how to assess comprehension; when to use visuals, and more!
For example, visuals are a great way to teach anybody a new word; as a matter of fact, most people learn best by using visuals. But if you don’t know when it’s appropriate to use visuals and when it isn’t, then your child can become dependent upon them and won’t actually recognize the word.
I’m also going to talk about how to sandwich harder tasks in between easier ones, also known as the Pre-mack Principle, and how you should utilize it.
If you’ve listened to my podcast before, then you know that my ultimate goal is for our children to live their happiest, healthiest, most independent lives; and that’s why language comprehension is so important.
