Children with speech, language, or listening problems can look forward to less frustration, self-doubt, and misplaced blame for their limitations if they are properly diagnosed and treated and if their family is informed and supportive. If you suspect or have been told that your child has as a speech, language, or listening problem, our course will give you a deeper understanding of the diagnoses and how to offer help for your child. Armed with knowledge, you are in a better position to help make your child’s life more fulfilling and far less challenging.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Define the communication-learning process
- Recall the symptoms of and typical interventions for most common language problems
- Recognize auditory processing disorders and the solutions

Causes of Delayed Development and Therapy That Works
There isn’t a “textbook” profile of what causes delays in speech, language, and listening developments. Each child brings a set of special conditions that need addressed. Module four will look at many different causes of delayed development and will examine a variety of therapies that work for each. In this module, we will also look at how to support and encourage your child’s language development at home, in school, and in other environments.
