This 53-minute video is designed to teach 12 simple cognitive activities or “tasks” to toddlers and young children to help them learn to attend, participate, and finish an entire task through early structured learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

Because this is a Christmas\u00a0series, we’re using the 12 Days of Christmas for inspiration. You’ll see 12\u00a0different activities you can easily develop to use with your little clients if\u00a0you’re a therapist or your own child if you’re a parent.<\/p>\n

This material is ideal for committed\u00a0parents, therapists, and other professionals who work with young children with\u00a0language and other developmental delays.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 53-minute video, you’ll receive a 14 page written summary with a list of easily obtainable materials, set up directions, and detailed instructions for making these activities productive learning opportunities for both the child and you!<\/p>\n

If you’re a therapist, the activities are written in an easy-to-follow “homework”\u00a0format, perfect for providing parents for education and suggestions for home\u00a0practice.<\/p>\n

Troubleshooting tips are included\u00a0in case a child is having difficulty learning or completing the task.<\/p>\n

Don’t spend hours searching the\u00a0internet for ideas that might work for helping toddlers with significant delays\u00a0learn to complete early learning tasks. The activities and instructions are right\u00a0here! Lots of mommy bloggers have written cute ideas on their websites or on\u00a0Pinterest for similar activities, but many times the directions for introducing\u00a0and carrying out the tasks are not specified. The activities certainly aren’t\u00a0modified for toddlers and young preschoolers with developmental delays. This\u00a0video will make these activities applicable for ALL young children.<\/p>\n

So many of our little friends with language delays have a hard time paying attention, participating in therapy activities and completing an entire task, even when it’s playing with a toy. By beginning to work with these kinds of kids with short, simple cognitive activities, we’ll help these toddlers build attention and learn to complete an entire activity start to finish.<\/p>\n

When we use activities that are highly visual, rather than language-based, we’ll also be playing to a child’s strengths rather than his weaknesses.<\/p>\n

This is the starting point for\u00a0therapy for many children with autism. You’ll get better initial participation\u00a0with these activities than with anything else you may try. You’ll also be\u00a0establishing great activities for a home therapy program.<\/p>\n

Typically developing toddlers also love these activities. By introducing these tasks in a structured way, we’re helping ALL children learn important cognitive concepts which will lay the foundation for early academic skills and for learning the language. In all of the activities you’ll also be targeting fine motor and motor planning skills, so our colleagues who are OTs love these ideas too.<\/p>\n

For more background information\u00a0about why these tasks are used in therapy, take a look at the Resources and\u00a0References page at the end of the written therapy guide.<\/p>\n

As a therapist, you can make many of these things this year and then save them to use every December for the rest of your career. Once you learn the basic premise for developing these activities, you’ll also be able to take the ideas and design your own activities to use throughout the year.<\/p>\n

As a parent, you will be able to make these activities yourself to do with your own child during your 1:1 time at home. Many children can learn to be independent of these activities. Eventually, you can bring these games out when you need your child to be able to play on his own for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Many therapy programs for children\u00a0with autism such as TEACCH and preschool methodologies such as Montessori and\u00a0Reggio Emilia programs use these kinds of tasks to teach a child to become\u00a0independent during learning activities. However, adult intervention is\u00a0absolutely essential at the beginning to help a toddler with developmental\u00a0delays learn what to do and be able to get through an entire task. All of the\u00a0instructions for teaching young children are provided at an introductory level\u00a0in the video and in the written therapy guide. Strategies are also included for\u00a0helping move a child toward independent use of the task over time.<\/p>\n

Suggestions for adapting these\u00a0materials to use throughout the year are listed for all 12 activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10347,"menu_order":47,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[831],"tags":[1197],"class_list":["post-10382","ceu_course","type-ceu_course","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-professionals","tag-free-ceu"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nStructured Teaching Activities for Christmas for Toddlers...FREE ONE HOUR CE COURSE - teachmetotalk.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/ceu_course\/asha-ceu-course-structured-teaching-activities-for-christmas-for-toddlers-free-one-hour-ce-course\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Structured Teaching Activities for Christmas for Toddlers...FREE ONE HOUR CE COURSE - teachmetotalk.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ASHA FILING is not available for this course, but you can still immediately generate a certificate to use for ASHA maintenance, licensure, or credentialing.
