To: Ms. Harris Working with your daughter, Sarah Lee, has been a wonderful experience. On November 1st, 2010, you signed a parental permission form that allowed me to begin our sessions together. I administered two different tests to Sarah Lee in order to understand why she has been feeling speechless and tongue-tied. The tests were the MAVA and the Told I;4.…
Daycare When running a daycare for children two-years-old and under, many considerations must be made in order to provide the appropriate experiences to help promote their biological, cognitive and psychosocial development. One of my primary goals would be to maintain a group of staff members that I have ensured are reliable, extremely trustworthy and planned on working for me for at least a year or two. I would want to help maintain a constant environment for the zero to two-year-olds. Children who are two-years-old need very different care then one-year-olds or kids who are even younger. As they got closer to two and above, I would make sure they were being read to daily and being exposed to memory exercises, for example, identifying animals and basic shapes, while still being provide with an adequate amount of…
Language development is a learnt behaviour within children and the more interaction a child receives will develop earlier sounds and communication and language skills with the introduction of sounds and words that are simple as the children reach toddling age that are easy to understand and is able to use the words with context e.g. sheep but the child may be able to say but not understand the object so personally I believe that the children need to be shown a visual object as you begin to communicate more complex words and sentences, I believe that giving children variety of activities such as reading, singing and even encouraging the children to eat at lunchtimes will introduce early movement within the mouth and encourage further and on…
Capone conducted a study with sixteen children between the ages of thirty-two to sixty-three months old. The main objective was to understand how children semantically learn words they are unfamiliar with. There were objects and gestures the children knew, along with objects and gestures the children were unfamiliar with. The goal was to see how children best learn unfamiliar words. The study showed that “shape” (gestural) cues helped the child more than just teaching the names of the objects.…
This article, “The Vocabulary-Rich Classroom,” impacted my thinking about how children learn vocabulary. I chose to read, “The Vocabulary-Rich Classroom: Modeling Sophisticated Word Use to Promote Word Consciousness and Vocabulary Growth.” Because children learn 3000 words by age 5; but do not the meaning to the words or how to properly use the word. The question that came to my mind how to build and improve children’s vocabulary.…
A further issue could be relating to the child’s eye sight. Has the child had their eyes tested and is this the reason they are struggling with their words? B) You are supporting a seven year old with behavioural issues to join in a role play session and their behaviour is deteriorating – how would you…
Jump Start your Childs Education As a parent, one of our biggest concerns is whether our children’s brains are functioning at the proper level. Singing the ABC’s and teaching them colors is a great way to get started, but how do you ensure that your child will have a love for learning? Instead of buying a ridiculous amount of expensive baby ‘learning’ products, here are a few simple suggestions that can help launch your child’s brain function. 1. Converse with your baby- Aside from the usually ‘goo-goo gah-gah’ baby talk that we can’t help but spill out, you should actually have a conversation with your little one.…
The topic I have chosen for my final paper is on bilingual infants versus their monolingual peers. I am interested in learning how language is acquired for bilingual infants and if the preconceived notion of them being placed at a disadvantage is really true. I would like to examine the different advantages and disadvantages bilingual infants face while being exposed to 2 languages at a time. I would also like to see at what rate certain milestones are hit compared to monolingual infants. Additionally, I would like to see how bilingual infants are able to perform at specific tasks compared to their monolingual peers.…

Speech and Language Therapy Assessments Each child with ASD is individual in their needs and ability so assessments should be chosen to suit Joshua’s in terms of his behavioural challenges and capability. The New Reynell Developmental Language Scales (NRDLS) is used to identify speech and language delays and impairments in young children. It would be suitable for Joshua as it uses both play-based activities with objects and colourful illustrations to gain diagnostic information about production and understanding of spoken language (Reynell Assessment 2017). Joshua’s behavioral challenges may mean that he struggles to keep his attention on the activity, however the objects and illustrations may help him focus. Communication in HFA is…

How baby talk can help? As mentioned above, baby talk is characterized by slower and more repetitive tone than used in regular conversation and the speech is more likely in shorter, simpler utterances. Do infants pay greater attention to speech with such characteristics? The answer appears to be yes: They show a clear preference for it, from an early age, over adult-directed speech (e.g., Fernald 1985; Panneton Cooper & Aslin 1990; Werker, Pegg, & McLeod 1994; see also Zangl & Mills 2007).…
We as human beings are one of nature’s most complex forms of like. Our development is much slower than that of any other mammal. Humans are born with brains that need input, and call upon our environment to deliver that input to help develop our brains. It is also in those early years of like those are that are most critical for acquiring speech and language skills. Those skills are refined with an environment that is full of sounds, sights and constantly hearing words of those around us.…
Introduction The time I spent with my student during our tutoring sessions gave me a first-hand experience of how it is like on a student to teacher level. I learned a lot from my student, Kade, as I hope he also learned from me. During this time, I was able to observe his strengths and his weakness. I had to be flexible to cater my lesson plan to my student, so he could build upon what he learned and advance through more challenging activities.…
This is why I think that we make it easier for children to learn words so they don’t get discouraged when learning to talk. This video was very informative and helped a lot about understanding how a child learns a word. This video has help me think that even in my placement that I can help the children learn a word by using it more where the object appears, like my the sink for water or by the refrigerator for a bottle. This video also opened my eyes to see just how connected we are to each other through the use of social media and television. The video caused me to think a lot about how a child learns a word and how we can help them relate words to objects, or…
