Join pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize and developmental interventionist Kate Hensler as they discuss questions from 2 different speech-language pathologists who need new ideas for treating 4 specific children on their caseloads:
1. A 3 year old boy with Williams Syndrome who responds best to music - We’ll be talking about how to use music in a preschool classroom as well as in therapy sessions to maximize his communication skills.
2. A little boy diagnosed with selective mutism who at school talks only in “nonsense” to his best friend with Down Syndrome.
3. 5 year old on the PDD spectrum who is severely echolalic and who likes to play with bubbles.
4. A gifted and talented kindergarten student with poor rate and intonation is poor. He speaks very slowly and in a drawn out way and his intonation goes in highs and lows out of nowhere.
