Overview
"This workshop focuses on systematically and strategically increasing your clients' length of utterance. Topics discussed include: mean length of utterance (MLU) development in typical children; utterance patterns on which to focus; IEP goals to use and avoid; tips to engage minimally verbal and Autism Spectrum populations." The presentation includes toys, materials and books to use with a variety of learners. A "make and take" portion allows participants tangible tools to use immediately in their therapy sessions."
