Why Are Parents Involved in the More Than Words® Program?
Parents are the most important people in their child’s life, as well as their child’s best teacher.
As a parent, one of the greatest gifts you can give your child is the support to communicate and find more joy in their interactions with others.
How your child communicates right now and the next steps to
take.
How to identify and include your child’s sensory preferences in
fun engaging activities.
How child-led play leads to fun back-and-forth interactions.
How to turn everyday activities into opportunities to support your
child’s communication.
How to help your child understand what you say.
How to join in on your child’s favorite things to do and help them
develop their communication skills while having fun together.
What Will Your Child Achieve?
FOUR KEY GOALS
More back-and-forth social interactions.
Enhanced communication skills.
Increased turn-taking in routines.
Improved understanding of language.
