We love caregiver involvement at AAT! YOU are extremely impactful in the progress your child makes! It applies to more than speech therapy - PT and OT too!
Jessie Ginsburg from Sensory SLP shared some great info on the importance of caregiver involvement. Check it out below!
“168 hours in a week…most kids spend an hour a week (sometimes less, sometimes more) with a speech therapist.
We’re not there the other 167 hours! ⏳
Someone’s gotta be trained in what we’re working on in speech therapy.
For some kids, having parents sit in the sessions works great.
For other families, they might sit out because it’s their preference or maybe their child focuses better without their caregivers present.
BUT - in all cases, whether a caregiver is sitting in the session or not, training and keeping families up to date with everything that’s happening in therapy is a critical step in making progress.”
