Tips for each lesson

1Count to ten slowly when you are waiting for a response from your child.

3Ask family and friends to select birthday presents for your child from the story book list or from the Learn to Listen toy list.

5Have your friends and family keep magazines, celebration cards, post cards of trips. Card often have clear picture that you can use for your experience or sound book.

7Modelling with another adult or older child will give your child more opportunities to observe and learn what is required of him.

9Rather than say ‘good boy/girl’ when your child has responded in a way you are pleased with reinforce the action / language that you are proud of.

11Remember your child does not have to say a word perfectly for it to be considered a word.

13Take your child out for excursions and build language around each one. Pet shop, fruit and vegetable shop, fish markets, botanic gardens, flower shop, machinery shop.

15Collect boxes that appliances such as TV, computer, shoes etc come in as they make great cars, buses, houses, storage containers.

17Give your child plenty of opportunity to explore in his/her play.

19Create an experience book for regular experiences your child has such as visiting familiar relatives, going to therapy, going to church, visiting the shops.

21PAUSE! After you ask your child a question or for information PAUSE for at least 5 seconds for him to answer. Once your child has given the answer or information PAUSE again for at least 5 seconds giving your child a chance to add information.

23When you are out shopping or on the bus, in the car, at the zoo talk to your child about what they are experiencing – giving them language will support them in developing the language of every day experiences.

25Visit Cochlear’s website – Rehabilitation [www.cochlear.com] for lots of free websites that you can use to support your child’s listening and language development.

27Sabotage your day – set up opportunities for your child to request or comment by changing the environment eg- give your child’s meal without a spoon or folk, put your child’s shoes on their hands – wait for the response.

29Make a hearing aid / implant box with your child’s name and picture on it, so that when they are not in the dry aid, your child can be responsible for putting them in his/her device box.

31Favourite toy – take your child’s favourite toy/s to their MAPping session – this will give them something fun and familiar to work with.

33Encourage your child to explore, let them get dirty and make a mess – this is learning.

35Join your local library – this is a great way to find the books in this program.

37Ask your friends to collect corks, bottle tops, left over material, toilet roles scraps of knitting wool. These all make for wonderful craft where your child can create. Remember the object is to have fun and give your child listening and language while creating. The craft does not need to resemble anything in particular.

39Let your child help you in routine activities such as cleaning house, laundry and preparing meals.
