This two-hour course focuses on children, therapy, and words; words they hear, say, read, write, and even draw. We explore why some children dislike words and language in general, and present strategies to counteract the “dislike” and awaken the “joy” of playing with words.
How to incorporate movement into your therapy is covered. Movement can be used to generate memory, meaningful language and literacy connections, keeping them on task, and enjoyment.
We want our kids to develop a fascination with words and language to intrinsically want to learn more.
