2142V - A Multisensory Approach to Speech and Language Intervention

Many children on SLP caseloads present with diverse communication goals as well as specific sensory preferences. This course will review the major language components and how to maximize use of literacy and theme-based activities to address each component. Presenters will discuss how to use these activities in combination with music and age-appropriate materials, for different ages and communication stages. Ideas for improving joint attention and interaction will also be shared. The course also includes how to implement a variety of intervention strategies, visual supports and activities that can be utilized with children who have a speech sound disorder and/or language impairment (LI) while also addressing potential sensory needs.
