Saying less seems like the opposite of what we should do when encouraging language... However, the added pressure and expectation for the child to speak verbally leads to shut down, meltdowns, frustration, overwhelm, and decreased participation in activities. And that's no fun for anyone!

To encourage language, modeling is the key. Say the word or short phrase that goes best with the activity at hand instead of asking questions or prompting with, "say ___" or "can you say ____".

Use the same words and phrases when engaging in that activity. Anticipation of the word/phrase encourages language. For example, "ready, set, ...go". By using this phrase repeatedly, the child can anticipate the word "go" and may attempt to say it during play.

Having fun and engaging in play is the best way to connect and model language.

Naoki Higashida is the author of the book, "The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism" which was also made into a movie that is on Netflix.

This book is Naoki's memoir that talks about his autistic experience. He was thirteen years old when he wrote this book.

Naoki used an alphabet grid to construct each word that is unable to verbalize.

It is a powerful piece of work that provides insight into how one autistic person views the world around him.

The quote above was in response to the question, "What's the reason you jump?"

His beautiful explanation? He feels as if his feelings are going up into the sky.

It is time to start changing the way we view stimming, don't you think?

As we observe Autism Awareness month, it is important to recognize the vital role that speech therapy plays in the lives of individuals with autism.

Dr. Grandin has spoken on the significance of supporting autistic children's special interests as well as teaching work skills as early as middle school.

She has emphasized the importance of early intervention and individualized treatment plans in helping individuals with autism to reach their full potential, and has encouraged parents and caregivers to seek out the resources and support they need to help their loved ones thrive.

Did you know that some children are "late talkers"?

This means they start talking later that other children their age, often causing concern for parents and caregivers.

If you have a "late talker", here are some strategies to use to support language development:

Model sounds, simple words, and gestures
Read books that are colorful and have simple pictures
Play turn-taking games
Say less
Leave space for your child to imitate or respond
Don't get frustrated

Remember, if you have concerns about your child's development, contact your pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist.

As an SLP, my job is to help those that I work with find their voice. 💁🏾‍♀️

This can be by a variety of means that include improving and shaping how sounds are formed, putting sentences together, using sign language, using an AAC device, building confidence, or any way in which they feel empowered to speak.

🗣️Having a voice is imperative to effective communication!

Can you imagine how limited our world would be without having a voice? With others assuming our competence? With our choices being limited?

With a voice, the world becomes bigger and more full of experiences and opportunities.
