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. Â 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. Â We refer to the strategies as SMILE (Sign, Model, Imitate, Label, and Expand). Â These strategies have been found to improve communication skills in young children. Â We will define the SMILE strategies, provide the rationale behind them, and demonstrate how to implement the strategies when serving an early childhood population.
