Language Tools for Parents
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.
NOTE: While it may be helpful if you’ve taken one of our “Learn ASL at Home” classes in the past, that is not a requirement for this course. This course is open to people with all levels of ASL skills!
👉🏻 The language of instruction will be English. Zoom auto-captions will be available for anyone’s use. Please email info@aslathome.org to request any additional accommodations with at least 7 days' notice.
