Course Description:
This course is designed for parents and family members of deaf and hard of hearing children to support their child’s language development and socioemotional health. The course covers critical milestones in both ASL and English, strategies for fostering expressive and receptive language, pre-literacy skills, and socioemotional development. Parents will learn practical, everyday techniques to support their child’s language acquisition and emotional well-being, helping to create a strong foundation for communication and learning.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Identify key milestones in expressive and receptive language development for deaf and hard of hearing children, in both ASL and English, and apply these milestones to their child’s development.
Implement strategies to enhance their child’s expressive language, including modeling language, providing choices, and using repetition and expansion techniques.
Use receptive language strategies such as self and parallel talk, embedding language into daily routines, and creating language-rich environments at home.
Incorporate pre-literacy activities into daily routines, understanding the benefits of reading to young children and adapting reading strategies to the child’s developmental stage.
Support their child’s socioemotional development by recognizing and naming emotions, modeling emotional expression, and using positive reinforcement and fantasy play to navigate challenging behaviors.

Trainings
“How to Use ASL at Home” custom trainings for organizations
This customized training session will orient your staff to our curriculum and explain the various ways you can use it with the families you serve.
Organization trainings are scheduled at a time and date arranged between your organization and the ASL at Home co-authors.

We provide a range of consultative services related to early intervention, speech and language, and ASL-learning support.
Live services (e.g., Zoom meetings) are provided at a rate of $150 per hour, billed in quarter-hour increments.
Asynchronous services (e.g., meeting prep, records review, emails/text conversations, etc.) are provided at a rate of $75 per hour, also billed in quarter-hour increments.
Billing is conducted via electronic invoice at the end of services provided or at the end of the calendar month, whichever comes first.
We will contact you within 48 hours of filling out the form below to arrange the consultation. Please ensure your email address and phone number are correctly typed. We will attempt to contact you first by email, and then by text message.
Consultations with Leah are provided in American Sign Language (ASL). If you require interpretation to access a meeting in ASL, you or your organization must provide interpreters.

We will work with you to make it all work out.) Presently, Leah can provide services to families and professionals living anywhere.
