If yes, then we have some tips for you! Once your child understands a concept and is beginning to use the word or sign, provide cues or prompts when he forgets to use the word or sing, or appears to have difficulty getting started. Physical cues. Make a gesture or provide hand-over-hand assistance (actually hold your child\u2019s hand and put it through the motions) to help him point to a picture or make a sign. Imitation. Say the word for your child so that he can imitate your production. Initial phoneme cue. If your child is having trouble giving you the word or getting started, you can provide the initial sound, e.g., \/b\/ for ball, to help him. Fill-in sentence. Provide a framework for the word by providing the beginning of the sentence or phrase. If you want your child to say \u201ccookies,\u201d you might say, \u201cYou want milk and ____.\u201d This would be spoken with upward inflection, so that your child will fill in the space. If you want your child to say \u201cshoes,\u201d say \u201csocks and ____.\u201d Paralinguistic cues. These are the rhythm, stress, inflection and emotion in the voice, and singing-like production, which can all help in teaching a concept. For example, if you are teaching \u201cbig\u201d and \u201clittle,\u201d use a deep, booming voice for \u201cbig\u201d and a quiet, high-pitched voice for \u201clittle\u201d while you are teaching the concept.<a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/mchenry\/education\/speech-language-tips\/attachment\/lmnop-and-ff-146\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-58096\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-58096\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/mchenry\/files\/2016\/11\/LMNOP-and-FF-146-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"lmnop-and-ff-146\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Have you ever wondered if there are ways to provide additional sensory cues to help your child learn?
