Parent-Based Intervention : A Group Approach for Language-Delayed Children

This programme offers a model of parent-based intervention (PBI) with pre-school language delayed children.

It consists of a theoretical section followed by the practical procedures necessary for implementing this approach, fully supported by photocopiable handouts.

Produced in two parts, the first looks at the theoretical considerations and rationale behind PBI as a method of remediating children's language delays.

The second part contains practical advice and hints on setting up and running parent groups.

It offers checklists, summary sheets and parent handouts designed to be photocopied.

It sets language objectives for parents to follow and achieve, aiming to foster children's language development through the context of daily activities.
