Ming from Agents of Speech shares strategies for speech-delayed children: simplify your language, talk more with your child, use toys and flashcards to teach words and phrases, and focus on what skills they're missing rather than why they're delayed.
Although speech therapy and treating children with special needs has been is still a very young profession. But at the same time, we know what works. And what works is teach your child language through talking to them more reducing the language input to something that they can receive from you. Teaching them how to play, how to socialize with you. Teaching them structures where they can sit with you, learn with you through maybe using toys, maybe using flashcards to help them acquire new words, new phrases, new sentences. We have loads of videos on this channel. You can just go into agents of speech and just check them out. Okay. You know, you don't really need to know why the language language delay came about to affect your child's ability to talk. You only need to know your child's language profile and try to piece back the parts where they cannot do. For instance, if they cannot speak in two words, teach two words man. If they cannot answer, for instance, who question, teach the concept of who. It's very simple. It's very, very easy.
