In this course, participants will explore evidence-based intervention strategies and activities for children with language delays working on single words, phrases, and simple sentences. We will discuss the continuum from child-directed to adult-directed strategies with an emphasis on blended models integrating the best of both (i.e., focused language stimulation, enhanced milieu teaching). The benefit of routines, themes, and books will be explored. Live demonstrations will be included.
