Natural Learning Opportunities • Everyday activities provide the context for typical language development • Intervention strategies can be embedded in everyday activities to target language development Photospin.com/lev dolgachov 32

Activities and Routines • Beginning and ending • Logical sequence • Meaningful use of materials and engagement with others • Predictable Heads up – Here’s a Handout! • Opportunities for repetition 33

Using and Understanding Words • There is slow vocabulary growth from 12 to 18 months. A vocabulary burst occurs at about 19 months when children begin to combine words. • The richest moments for early language learning are when the child is sharing attention, affect, and intentions; and the caregiver talks about the child � s focus of attention. 34

Language is learned as a tool for regulating behavior, interacting with others, and acquiring knowledge. 44 Photospin.com/Monkey Business Images

Children with delays in language development are at risk for using challenging behaviors as a way to communicate and get their point across. 45 45 Photospin.com/Monkey Business Images

Link Between Behavior and Communication • Challenging behavior can be a form of communication. • Supporting the child begins by learning what purpose the behavior serves. • Remember why children communicate? Photospin.com/PS Productions 46
