Involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process is a major component of successful therapy. However, social, familial, personal, and environmental factors can complicate efforts to engage caregivers and teachers.
In this course, we introduce five research-based strategies (SMILE: Sign, Model, Imitate, Label, and Expand) that improve interactions with families because they layer communication needs onto a family’s daily routine. This way, families know what to do, when to do it, and are creating communication during the times that matter most to them. Join us to find out how to make your intervention with young ones even more effective.

Building relationships with families is essential to the evaluation and treatment process. Through great relationships, speech-language pathologists can establish parent trust in their treatment approach, increase parental participation and confidence in therapy, and provide a safe space for parents to ask questions and voice concerns about their child’s diagnosis.
Participants will be able to:
• Describe why family involvement has a positive impact on therapy outcomes
• List three factors that can reduce parent involvement
• Summarize one theoretical model of social systems
• Assess intervention strategies to identify whether they are designed to increase family involvement
