Chapter 7 – Listening And Spoken Language Strategies
EXAMPLE:
(Hungry Hungry Caterpillar)
Therapist: "On Monday, he ate one apple. But he was....(look expectantly at child)
Child: "stiiiiilllll hungry!"
Explanation:
Similar to auditory closure, you use your body language to let the child know that a response is wanted from them, sometimes you can just use your eyes but sometimes you might have to use a hand gesture! It all depends on what level your kiddo is at and how well they understand this expectation and look for it to be used.
