One of my favorite tips for emergent communicators! Model model model especially in routines!)- then lead in….. and wait! This strategy is great for all modes of communication- speaking, signing, and AAC!
This strategy also varies by child, some may pick up sooner than others while others may need it modeled many more times. The key is to give lots of exposures and then slowly add in wait time for a child to finish a phrase. If the child doesn't fill in the phrase, it's okay, the adult still says it!
No pressure and LOTS of communication opportunities is win win! 🎉🎉
