Early Communication: A Natural Approach
Communication is central to all areas of
development. We, therefore, have to
nurture a ‘Communication
Culture’ around our children very early in
life.
The Power of Play: Play gives a child with multiple challenges reasons to come out of his isolation, to touch and be touched, to hold hands,
to smile when we say, “Good job!” and so on
The topic or medium of play can be anything and everything
that works – anything that
generates some interest and allows
us to laugh and have some fun
together
Play facilitates development of pre-verbal communication. It provides a chance to: develop an imitative interaction develop anticipation ask for more of a game or action make choices initiate a game learn to wait for others’ turns
Play also helps children develop numerous concepts
Songs and rhymes – simple home-made songs – have a great role to play
