How to stimulate language in children who have speech difficulties? - General education
Source
Language stimulation needs precursors for children to start talking, where there are several important aspects that are necessary and should be addressed as:
The communicative intention. It is to teach the child to understand that he must learn to communicate verbally, so that in this way he covers all his communication needs. That is, the child learns and has to try to minimize all gestures to replace them by verbal communication; In this way, you will get what you need, such as:
- A kiss.
- A hug.
- A glass of water.
- Among many others.
Social interaction. The educator must realize and help the child to interact so much with who teaches him, with the environment, with other people in an appropriate way, according to his chronological age. It is very important to be close to the child, since there are language problems at the level of neurodevelopment and it is possible not to see in the children an appropriate social interaction or as expected according to their age.
The imitation. Imitation is important, and for children to learn to speak they must first imitate or try to do so, where verbal imitation and imitation of actions are involved.
Support activities for language stimulation in children
What is necessary to help stimulate language is to understand that there is a communicative interaction and an imitation, but these must associate sounds with movement. It is important that children know that when performing an action there can also be a relationship with expressive language.
Use of objects with shapes and sounds. The idea is that children can grasp the shapes, can take, put, place in a piece, learn what is its place and know how to express. Through the exercise, functional words can be mentioned, where words that involve animals and / or food are generally used.
In the game they are even taught words that children can use to say for example: "yes", also say "no", include words like "give me", among others.
Stimulation of language. Use strategies that contain expansions and extensions where another type of information is added so that children receive stimulation of their language learn how it is structured.

For activities with functional words, you can make games where you have to insert pieces, something easy, according to the age of the child.
Common words are selected that are equally difficult for the child, but through the game will be easier to express. How to play with the child, for example:
- The child is asked about the figure, the child finds it and then places it where it belongs. The child must capture the activity, and the roles in the game are exchanged.
Greetings educators and motivators of education; Teaching is our purpose, where learning is mutual since people never stop learning, every day offers something new.
