Increasing Parent and Teacher Involvement
$15.00
Course Type: Video – 1 hour
ASHA Course Code: Developmental Language Disorders – 3010
Involving caregivers and teachers 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 identify the benefits of family involvement and will then provide five research-based strategies for how to improve our interactions with families and teachers. We refer to the strategies as SMILE (Sign, Model, Imitate, Label, and Expand). These strategies have been found to improve communication skills in young children. We will define the SMILE strategies, provide the rationale behind them, and demonstrate how to implement the strategies when serving an early childhood population.
