Ming from Agents of Speech shares strategies for helping speech-delayed children communicate better. Push for three-to-four-word phrases instead of repeating questions, move gradually from one-on-one practice to group settings, and work with a specialist to set behavioral and social goals alongside speech work.
When you're talking are you talking in like at least three to four words? You know this can be a rule as well. Why should you talk in three to four words? Well because if you don't speak accurately people will keep on asking you questions and it's not fun for you anyways. Right? So when you explain to them in that way and give them a systematic approach to going from one to one with an adult and then one to like two or three with other children or with other adults and then slowly generalizing it towards a group setting and then the school setting with the shadow teacher and bake in all those evaluations, identifying behaviors, telling them how they good did and so on. It will help your child immensely in terms of their speech and language and also their behaviors if they are on the spectrum. Okay, meet someone who can help you out to create those behavioral goals, especially at social skills level.
