    Your Child Needs Connection Before Words |A Parent's Guide to Child Development

    Building Language through Connections: What Parents Need to KnowDiscover powerful, connection-based strategies for building language skills in non-speaking children with Autism or genetic conditions in this insightful episode of "A Parent's Guide to Child Development." Host Annamarie von Firley of Fledglings' Flight welcomes guest expert Andrea Gingras, Speech-Language Pathologist, who specializes in innovative, strength-based communication therapies.In this episode, Andrea shares her transformative approach: instead of traditional compliance-based techniques where children earn rewards after completing tasks, Andrea recommends rewarding children first by joining them in activities they naturally enjoy. Through this meaningful interaction, adults model descriptive language, reflecting the child's thoughts and experiences—such as, "I am rolling dough. The dough is sticky. The dough has stuck to my fingers."This method empowers gestalt language learners by demonstrating how speech can authentically represent their real-world experiences, leading to improved communication and deeper connections. Timestamps: 0:06 Why is connection important 0:21 Interests matter 0:30 Building engagement = Comfortability 1:09 When does communication happen? About Andrea Gingras: Andrea Gingras, M.A., CCC-SLP, has been a licensed Speech Language Pathologist for over 18 years. In 2003, she received her bachelors degree in Psychology with a concentration in Linguistics from Oakland University in Michigan. She continued on to Michigan State University and received her masters degree in Communication Disorders, in 2006. Andrea specializes in working with the pediatric population, specifically ages 18 months to 7 years of age. She has extensive training in using a strength-based approach and implementing gestalt language processing principles when working with autistic children. She is now the owner of Love Without Words Speech Therapy located in Concord, CA. She offers in-home services to regional center birth- 3 clients and private pay clients.
