Description

This program includes exercises that encourage children to imitate phonemes, syllables, words, phrases and sentences to support expressive language development.

 

 

The Learnigo SLP: Imitating Speech programs is designed for therapists and teachers working with younger and older children who have:

  • autism spectrum disorders,

  • delayed speech development,

  • intellectual disabilities,

  • and with other communication difficulties.

The program was designed with the following features in mind:

  • Adapted for children with different levels of cognitive functioning, specifically concerning the needs of children with autism spectrum disorders.

  • A comprehensive tool to support the development of basic skills that help the child to understand the world and the principles of functional communication.

  • Speech imitation is divided into stages of varying degrees of difficulty, with gradually increasing difficulty to match the child’s progress.

  • Imitation exercises are based on a realistic model (e.g., representation of facial expressions).

  • A broad range of terms covering different parts of speech and abstract concepts is presented.

  • Database for the therapist/teacher that allows you to record activities with the students and monitor their progress.

  • Arranged based on a hierarchy of pragmatic communication skills.

  • The program was developed with particular emphasis on children with autism spectrum disorders, but it will prove useful when working with other students experiencing communication difficulties.

  • Over 330 interactive screens (games, puzzles, matching, etc.)
