If you’ve ever struggled with taking your speech and language evaluation information and turning it into early intervention language goals, this series is for you. I get a lot of questions about navigating the chaos that early intervention speech and language evaluations can bring while trying to determine goals, strategies, and figure out what the heck to do to see progress. So, I’ve decided to spend the next few episodes diving into real-life case studies, and we will dive into the crazy together.
Today’s case study is about a 23-month-old boy who presents with several challenges: limited vocalizations and expressions, limited vocabulary, lack of joint attention, and not your typical interactions with toys. Come on friend, let’s take a walk through his evaluation, figure out some manageable early intervention goals for vocabulary, and put together some strategies that will support his communication development and help you see progress.
This little friend has a lot of potential, and by focusing on joint attention, imitation, and building vocabulary through play, we’re setting him up for success as his communication skills grow.
