Providing the encouragement and skill for young children to produce verbal language is

the challenge speech-language pathologists experience each time a young, nonverbal

child is referred for evaluation and therapy. This clinically focused seminar will help

participants determine where to begin therapy. Options for treatment are many. This

seminar will look at why including an assessment of the oral motor system can provide

significant information about the child’s motor skills and motor planning as an indicator

to why a child may not be using verbal language. An overview of oral motor and feeding

skills to determine a child’s needs from an oral motor perspective will be presented as

well as tactile methods for eliciting early speech. Similarly, a look at interactive skills

including attention, engagement, communicative intent, imitation, and turn taking will

help attendees determine a child’s needs in those areas.

Practical techniques and activities including music to increase a child’s ability and desire

to interact as well as how to include techniques using the principles of oral placement

therapy (OPT) and tactile teaching methods will be presented and demonstrated via

video examples. Suggestions for involving parents and establishing home programs will

also be part of this informative program. Parent teaching strategies using the acronym,

WE CAN TALK, will be given to attendees reinforcing the belief that parents are valuable

and essential teachers. Focus will be children ages 0-5.
