As Simple As a Sandwich; Language Opportunities During Daily Routines

Whether you are a parent, teacher, speech language pathologist, or early intervention provider, tapping into daily routines provides some of the best opportunities to target functional language most meaningful to children. Regardless of language development level, utilizing daily routines can be as simple as making a sandwich together. In this presentation, we will break down a session video of five children aged three to five who utilize hearing aids and cochlear implants. Each child has different hearing loss etiologies including a syndromic hearing loss, recent cochlear implantation, Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD), and a typically hearing peer. The goal will be to show how applying listening and spoken language strategies during a daily routine can provide opportunities for children of all language development levels to listen and to use language in complex and meaningful ways.

  • 1. Describe how to naturally integrate listening and spoken language strategies into daily interactions with food.
  • 2. Identify strategies tailored to a learner that can provide them with the most language opportunities.
  • 3. Prepare their materials and setting to require a variety of language and opportunities to speak and listen.
