| Summary |
The book provides an illustrated step-by-step programme for parents and carers: every week, a new activity is built into the routine between child and parent, such as repeating different rhythms of syllables, encouraging the child to identify a sound source, teaching the child to take and give different objects, and helping him or her to use and understand simple language and gestures. Two introductory chapters discuss the theoretical background to early language intervention and provide a summary of the research upon which this approach is based |
|
Speech and language skills are often severely delayed in children with special needs, such as Down's Syndrome or autism. In order to stimulate these skills, it is essential that regular speech therapy is provided from an early age. This practical guide offers parents and other carers, a week-by-week programme that encourages language acquisition and aims to teach the child to use the type of language and communication that is appropriate in differing situations. Professor Irene Johansson's early intervention programmes are widely practised in Sweden, and are based on the belief that language and communication form an integral part of the child's overall development, and are therefore important for the development of other abilities |
