Our MTS Team loved hosting our February Lunch and Learn.

Here are 3 take-aways from that event.

Question: How can you facilitate your child to speak louder?

Answers: Using a play telephone and/or microphone are great tools to use. Messy play with water, sand, and/or paint are also great ways to encourage louder speech. Pretending to be someone else, or role-playing, is also a tool to help shy children speak louder.

Question: What are some easy activities for speech-delayed children to do at home?

Answers: Using mealtime to introduce new vocabulary, such as the food item name, color, or texture. Bathtime is another great place to encourage language, using words like “splash,” “wet,” and “splat.” We also encourage the parent to provide a running commentary of their day as it is happening. For example, “We are going to the grocery store, I wonder what we will find there? Bananas? Apples?” If you are not tired of hearing yourself talk, then you are probably not providing enough language for your child to process.

Question: How many repetitions does it take for a child to learn a new word?

Answers: A typical developing child can usually learn a new word after 20-50 repetitions. A speech delayed child may need more than 100 repetitions of a word depending on their medical history. The important things to remember are 1. We are here to help! and 2. The plans of the diligent will surely prosper.
