About the Webinar:
There are many published early support programs that focus on coaching parents and other caregivers to use language-enhancing strategies with their young children with communication delays during daily routines. This presentation will review common characteristics of these programs and describe and provide examples of core strategies (e.g., positive behavior supports, responsivity, environmental arrangement, expansion, mands/models). Participants will learn how to pick the best strategies for each family on their caseload, based on specific child communication skills, as well as parent strengths, values, and preferences. Best practices in supportive coaching methods will also be reviewed and discussed.
Note: This program will be recorded for later viewing up to 14 days following the workshop. WSLHA will send out a link to the recording after the live session.
Cost: Members - $35 | Non-Members - $50
Learning Objectives:
List and describe core strategies commonly included in parent-implemented naturalistic communication intervention (PI-NCI) programs.
Describe how to tailor coaching programs based on individual parent and child strengths, needs, and preferences.
Describe methods for coaching parents to use NCI strategies across home routines.
