Overview
Coaching parents is a fundamental part of early language intervention. In order for parents to become effective language facilitators for their child, professionals need to be effective coaches. But many common coaching practices result in only limited and short-term behaviour change because they don’t provide a comprehensive, structured approach that’s grounded in best practice.
Drawing on the most current research on effective coaching, this e-Seminar:
- addresses appropriate communication goals for the child, as well as the corresponding responsive interaction strategies that parents must learn to help the child achieve these goals.
- clearly outlines a specific structure for coaching parents that is easy to follow and includes the key ingredients for long-term behaviour change.
