In my classes, we work on many different skills related to COMMUNICATION:- Articulation producing specific speech sounds correctly, speaking slowly and carefully in order to be understood, not omitting sounds or parts of words when speaking
- Language oral vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, homophones, idioms); oral grammar; following verbal directions; listening in order to identify details, make predictions and inferences, or determine the main idea; verbally sequencing a story or task; creating oral sentences with varied structures, increased complexity, and more elaboration
- Fluency speaking more smoothly and improving stuttering by reducing the frequency and duration of sound repetitions, prolongations, or blocks
