Language in Motion: Incorporating Movement and Sign into Early Intervention Sessions
Inspired by the principles introduced in one of The Daisy Speech Books, Dance with Daisy, Language in Motion: Incorporate Movement and Sign into Early Intervention Sessions explores how speech-language pathologists can intentionally incorporate movement, music, dance, and American Sign Language (ASL) into speech therapy. One does not have to be a dance teacher to use movement effectively. This course focuses on simple, functional ways to integrate movement into everyday therapy activities to increase engagement, support language development, and create a language rich environment. Although the course centers on early intervention, these techniques can be adapted to support learners across ages.
