While self-talk like ''Now we are buckling you in the car seat so
we can go to the store'' is common parental practice, this book
shows how teachers, parents, and therapists can take this to higher
levels to advance language cognitive development and learning
potential. Based on neuroscience and their own innovative work, the
authors provide the rationale and a step-by-step process for using
intentional self-talk and think-aloud methods to improve both
language and cognitive development in normal and language-delayed
children, as well as in older individuals with disabilities.
Stories are sprinkled throughout the text to demonstrate mediated
self-talk in action and the remarkable results achieved with real
children. With clear guidelines for delivery, content, and timing,
the crucial core of the process is to narrate thinking, action, and
emotion in the presence of children without requiring their
response. Book Features: Addresses the growing numbers of children
entering school with ''language poverty,'' describes the concept of
mediated soliloquy (MSL), or self-talk, with individuals or
classrooms who should use it and when, where and how it can be
applied, and expected outcome, and illustrates the use of MSL for
specific language disorders and to improve both language and
interpersonal function with children exhibiting delays,
disabilities, spectrum behavior, and social/emotional difficulties.
