An introduction to the course content, instructor background and preview of modules to come
You'll understand the foundations of language, the basic skills needed to develop communication.
You'll understand and recognize what is joint attention, why it is important to communication, and be able to reflect on your own use of it with your children.
You'll understand how turn-taking is important in establishing the roles in communication, how to match and balance turns and you'll reflect on your own turn-taking style with your children.
You'll learn how gestures form some of the earliest forms of communication, how they introduce meaning into conversation and you'll reflect on your own use of them in conversations.
You'll understand that play is critically important to the development of effective communication, that it provides language- rich experiences, that it doesn't need to be elaborate or expensive to be effective and that the greatest tool is YOU! You'll have an opportunity to identify language present in 4 different scenarios and to learn what different types of vocabulary are learned through play.
You'll learn how to put all of these skills together in a simple way to build communication and connection with your child through play. You will have a call to action to set a goal or two for yourself that you'll practice, and then review in one month and in three months' time.
