Elklan Speech and Language Session 1



The first session was all about the general overviews of communication. I have many students with some speech-language and communication issues however one is particularly standing out for me. Logan has real issues with communicating particularly with his peers. 


Here are some of the tasks I need to do before the next session. I am going to keep Logan as my focus.

Choose an everyday class activity. Talk and use non-verbal communication as normal. 
Then for a couple of minutes do not point with your fingers or eyes and do not stress important words. Describe what the child did (i) when you used NVC and (ii) when you did not use so much NVC.

Consider supporting a child with his/her listening and attention. Describe an activity. What did the child have to do and what were you asked to do or what was your role?

What specific strategy did you use during the activity (3.1a) to improve the listening and attention skills of one child or a small group of children? (Look at Language Builders (L.B.) or state a strategy from a different source.) Try and use a strategy you have not used before.


How did you use the strategy (3.1a) and how did the child’s listening and attention change as a result of applying the strategy?
