My Baby’s first words…
This section lists ideas, from parents of a special needs child with global developmental delays, which helped their child speak his first words. Their child spoke his first words at 25 months.
- Label everything to your child: Name items in the house, label their body parts while giving bath or dressing them up; label their food and daily activities. Remember they are taking it all in.
- Read and sing to them; its never enough
- Be ready to repeat things a 1000 times. Once a speech therapist told me that there is research that suggests that you might have to repeat a word 1000 times before your kid repeats it.
- If they are making sounds, imitate their sounds. This will encourage them and help them understand that their sounds have meanings.
- Provide opportunities to have lots of face to face contact so that your child can see your expressions and mouth movement.
