Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year! We have developed a series of presentations on providing speech/language therapy in the Pre-K SPED classroom. This is primarily for SLPs, but teachers may like to read through the powerpoint presentations for ideas on how to collaborate with the SLP in their classroom. Any suggestions or comments will be welcomed. We begin with a presentation courtesy of the American Speech/Language Hearing Association, "The Role of the SLP in Schools." Topics to follow in the coming weeks: High/Scope and Work Time, Greeting Time and much more...

Building Language Skills in the Classroom
Janice Greenberg and Elaine Weitzman, from the Hanen Program, give these guidelines about how to label:
If you give time for the children to process what you have said and to respond or look at you, you will find that the children may also begin to repeat what you have said! **Weitzman, Elaine and Greenberg, Janice (2002) Learning Language and Loving It Second Edition.

One of the most important things a teacher or paraprofessional can do for children who have limited speech and language skills is to observe them and label what they are doing, looking at, or using, with simple words and phrases. A quiet pause immendiately following the verbal input gives the child time to process the language.
each child's individual speech and language needs by building receptive and expressive vocabulary, increasing the length and quality of each child's sentences, and most importantly, providing opportunities to practice appropriate social language in a natural, nurturing environment.
