Myth busters in speech development – workshop with speech therapist Ms. Tabitha Wolfe

Ms.Tabitha Wolfe

Key Takeaways:

Myth- I must ask my child as many questions as this will make them speak

Fact- Commenting more engages a child and supports their language development

Myth- I must speak to my child as much as possible to develop their language

Fact- Research highlights the importance of engaging the child in back and forth conversation rather than adult monologuing.

Myth- Bilingualism causes language delay

If you want your child to speak the majority language, you should stop speaking your home language with your child.

My child already has a language delay, speaking two languages will further confuse them.

Nayi Disha organized a speech therapy workshop with Ms. Tabitha Wolfe, Speech Therapist. The video on myth busters in speech development is part of the workshop and it helps to understand and address some of the myths around speech development.

I must ask my child as many questions(especially ‘what’ questions) as this will make them speak, I must speak to my child as much as possible to develop their language, Bilingualism causes language delay etc are some of the myth busters in speech development that have been talked about in the above video.

Other topics that were covered in the workshop involve, What is speech, language and communication? The attention bucket method to build communication skills, The OWL method to build language skills, The importance of visuals in early development, and Commonly asked questions by parents about speech therapy.
