Best Practices in Early Intervention (Speech Therapy)

This discussion will focus on two main aspects: assessment and intervention.

Assessment:

In the assessment phase, our primary objectives are to identify the best approaches and tests for evaluating children aged 0 to 4.

Intervention:

In the intervention phase, we will delve into evidence-based approaches for early intervention. We will also explore best practices aimed at fostering the development of communication and language skills in children ( individualized plan / ted and hanen programs/ parental guidance and involvement/ play based therapy)
