Auditory Verbal Therapy: Part VIII
Principle VIII
Guide and coach parents to help their child self-monitor spoken language through listening.
Parents are encouraged to imitate any noises the child makes. This can be a very fun game for mom and baby, and it helps develop the auditory feedback loop. The child needs to have the skills of listening to what other people say, and repeat it. This then transfers into the child being able to listen to their own speech and modify it. This strength is crucial to developing proper speech and language skills. All this from saying, "Goo goo" and "ba ba ba" and "mee mee mee"? You betcha!
