12.01.2022 Let’s talk about FIRST REQUEST WORDS. We want young children to be able to request the things they want. Without FIRST REQUEST WORDS, young children will rely o...n whining, crying, fussing, and screaming to communicate their wants and needs. When a young child is struggling learning to talk, it is important for SLPs and parents to be thoughtful about which FIRST REQUEST WORDS are chosen as early targets. Once introduced to the vague word MORE, it is common for young children to default to this as their primary request word. The word MORE is used best as a supportive word instead of as a FIRST REQUEST WORD. MORE by itself is indistinct and, when habituated, leaves little room for language flexibility. When a child desires more milk, the adult communication partner is encouraged to introduce a sign or word for MILK first, and then eventually build the word sequence, MORE MILK. The powerful word in this sequence is MILK, while MORE serves a supportive role. Over the years, I have witnessed far too many young children walking around early childhood classrooms signing or saying MORE when they had nothing to begin with. These children have overgeneralized the word MORE to mean I WANT... and then expect adults to figure out exactly what it is they want. This can be frustrating for both children and adults. When introducing FIRST REQUEST WORDS, choose powerful words such as: bubbles cracker banana book swing fruit snacks ball up When a child is struggling learning to talk, we want to introduce powerful words that will increase the child’s ability to functionally communicate. So those FIRST REQUEST WORDS should be thoughtfully selected and be individualized based on each child’s interests and preferences. If you would like to learn more about my pet peeves related to early target selection, they are summarized in Chapter 5 of the book I co-authored with Dave Hammer called The SLP’s Guide to Treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

11.01.2022 Did you know that we include siblings when we provide comprehensive services?

09.01.2022 The case for not using more as a generalised request. We see many children enter our services with no functional communication aside from more.

08.01.2022 We love what we do!

07.01.2022 Booyah!! Two new Board Certified Behaviour Analysts in Australia. Congratulations to both Karishma Khullar and Brooke Stelzer on passing their exams today We are all so incredibly proud of you both! Did you know Dixon et al (2016) reported a relationship between mastery of learning objectives and supervisor credentials? ... A significant correlation was found, revealing that supervisors with BCBA certifications produce 73.7 % greater mastery of learning objectives per hour as compared to supervisors who were not Board Certified. How fortunate are all our Aspire children accessing such a highly qualified team
