Aim to Communicate

SPEECH VS LANGUAGE. National Speech-Language Hearing Month seems like a good time to share this again.

How many times have you explained these two terms!? Do you find yourself breaking down the difference between speech and language?

Did you know lack of background knowledge can make a deficit skill look worse than it really is? Is it fair, no. Can we help, yes!💡⁣

Lack of background knowledge can be due to many different circumstances but you can easily incorporate experiences, reading, and listening task into your sessions to help build up the information for your students to recall.⁣

Visuals for vocabulary is one of the best places to start but we know how hard it is to find a picture for what we need. One of my newest and honestly most favorite ways to get what I need is to use AI ( artificial intelligence) 🧠 💻⁣
