Winter Webinar Series: Is It a Language Delay? Language Disorder? Language Difference? Intervention or Not?

Description Children learn at different rates. Some have extensive medical and social history with anticipated delay or disorder. Others have varying cultural, ethnic and socio-economic differences impacting a child's language development. Yet, others have a seemingly nurturing and language-rich home environment with no root cause for what appears to be a delay. No matter the situation, a child may be having difficulties communicating and discerning the “why” is a key element in supporting the family.

Participants will:

a. compare and contrast disorder, delay and difference

b. recognize typical vs atypical language development

c. identify strategies for home programming vs intervention
