• Readiness to learn
• Engaging the learner through joint engagement
• Learning language through a unique and consistent motor plan paired with an auditory signal and natural consequence.

Discussion will include how this approach supports language development, device features that are beneficial to teaching language and how to use those features to implement the LAMP approach.

Day 2 will cover will include assessing current language level, setting goals for developmental progression, and analyzing data logging. The presenter will cover a variety of strategies and supports to support language development such as expanding vocabulary in natural environments, modeling, teaching the motor plan, and how to use aided language input. Devices will be available for hands on learning.

This training is designed for speech pathologists, teachers, parents and any other team members who are supporting the LAMP therapy approach.
