Curso asincrónico: Siguiendo el camino natural del lenguaje

Curso asincrónico (pregrabado): Este curso fue creado para terapeutas del lenguaje (logopedas, fonoaudiólogos, y profesionales que trabajan en el campo de la terapia del lenguaje en sus respectivos países). La terapia del habla para niños autistas es muy distinta a la terapia que nos enseñaron en la universidad- No podemos trabajar de la misma forma con ellos porque no están adquiriendo el lenguaje de la misma forma que los niños alistas. Por eso, vimos la importancia de hacer un curso para TLs para “desaprender” algunas cosas y aprender información nueva sobre cómo seguir el camino natural del lenguaje a través de la Adquisición Natural del Lenguaje (ANL).

Stories

Stories.1.SpongeBob

In Paulina’s first story, she describes a little one who used English and Hindi, and especially loved scripts from SpongeBob. She describes how he progressed from not being acknowledged at all, to Stage 3, and beginning Stage 4 after a year. Paulina was able to reassure his family that the incorrect grammar of Stage 4 is a mark of self-generated language.

Stories.2.Uno Dos Tres

Paulina describes her first assessment session with a four-year-old from a mono-lingual English-speaking family who was described as not talking. But Paulina had asked the right questions of his mom to make their first session successful. Paulina was able to connect with her new client by using his gestalt as he’d tried to match the intonation of a counting video in Spanish: ‘uno.dos.tres.cuatro.’ Their immediate connection got their therapeutic relationship off to a flying start!
