Early Intervention in Everyday Routines & Play: Activities & Tips
With these Early Intervention activities, play ideas, online workshops & checklists parent can become:
Parents as Co-Interventionists
- If a child is showing some delays or concerns parents become a vital part of the early intervention helping team. With the right activities and ideas parents can teach and boost skills specific in the home setting and within the family routines. Parents can reinforce and ensure maintenance of early intervention targets once they have been established.
- Parents can use resources, activities and ideas to optimise play or reading sessions. Lots of children learn in the relaxed home environments. With the right resources parents can capitalise on this loving environment that is not so structured.
- If parents can obtain the right information and understand the goals of any early intervention therapy they can become a full partner in planning, implementing and evaluating the intervention.With a large variety of resources, activities, books and ideas parents can pick the options that suit them and their child the most.
- With information and checklists parents know what to look for to help their child grow and learn.
Generalisation HELPER.
- Parents become a vital part of early intervention as they are the connection between all aspects of the child’s life – Generalisation HELPER.
- The parents that have the early intervention resources and knowledge of special techniques that just look and feel like play through fun activities can facilitate their children’s generalized use of new skills and promote development! As parents you can model, prompt and reinforce newly-learned skills in natural contexts and building fun experiences for the parent and child!
- Children can use skills in lots of different settings e.g., home, playgroup, school, swimming, park. Parents are likely to be reinforced for their efforts as generalisation of skills can mean less behavioural problems.
SpeechNet Speech Pathology provides families with these early intervention play tips, ideas and activities.
Do you want to make sure you are giving your babies and toddlers the best chance to have later academic success. Do you want them to have social confidence so they can build friendships? How and what we say to our children in the early years has been shown to have a major impact in the school years. Researchers call this “parentese” – the speech of parents.
- You can use everyday routines to provide the optimum language examples for your child. This will provide them with the best learning foundations that will impact on their development for many years to come.
