The therapist teaches a child’s caregiver how to support the child’s skill development by using listening, language, and speech development strategies in home routines. The caregiver does not have to set aside extra time to “do therapy” at home. They are able to be a teacher for their child within their daily happenings. This approach empowers caregivers and maximizes skill growth for the child, as caregivers are each child’s best and most important teacher!
