Soooo you want your child to imitate words?! You've come to the right place!!
Let me help walk you through the steps of a child developing the imitation skills using a KEY therapy technique - Social Games and Activities!
// This skill is a pre-linguistic skill
Laura Mize's chart here -- teachmetotalk.com/wp-content/...)
That comes AFTER a child is able to Stay and PLAY (and ATTEND) to you, toys, objects or books for an appropriate amount of time! Typically 2x's in minutes of their age! (example: 1.5 year olds, = 3 minutes; 2 year olds = 4 minutes)

// Now that your child is READY to imitate, WHERE DO WE START?!
STEP 1) Gross Motor Actions!
-Play TAG!
-Play Stop / Go (modeled in the video)
-Create an obstacle course on the floor using painter tape and race through it!
-Do jumping jacks!
-Crawl through a tunnel! amzn.to/2RGAjch
-MAKE IT FUN! • HOW TO WORK ON SPEECH ...
Step 2) Fine Motor Skills
-Play Peek-A-Boo
-If you're happy and you know it clap your hands (make up OTHER little SIGNS to go with this like pointing to your face every time the song says "happy!")
-HIGH FIVE! (FALL DOWN! Be dramatic!!) Over and over again, see if your little one will give EVERYONE a high five in the room!
-AH AH CHOO! Sneeze! (look for your hild to imitate, HELP them move their head to "sneeze" it off!
-Add a BELL!
Step 3) Consistently Model, Use, Show and HELP them (hand under hand) Use GESTURES/ SIGNS/ SPEECH SOUNDS / WORDS
-Use the same gestures over and over again (waving bye, doing a thumbs up, pointing, shaking head yes/no, holding hands out for "where'd it go?!") REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT! *Remember, typically developing toddlers need to hear something and see it up to 50 times before they make the correlation! Therefore, with out little late talking friends, they might need it modeled even TWICE as many times! HANG IN THERE! YOU CAN DO IT!
-Once your child is consistently using FUNCTIONAL signs and/or gestures ( • TEACHING FUNCTIONAL WO... )
THEN start using SPEECH SOUND HAND CUES!

-Use those SPEECH HAND CUES to get your child to imitate speech sounds
THEN we combine the hand cues and sounds to help them form WORDS!!!!!
See the progression?! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Additional Tips: Incorporate SENSORY PLAY and Sensory Integration into your games!
Use play dough! Grab a tunnel and crawl through it! Get up and DANCE! Play in the SAND BOX! Add RUNNING into each routine! Get those little guys MOVING so that they can process information quickly and more efficiently!

Stay Blessed!
These videos are SUPER helpful as I have been using virtual speech therapy sessions with our toddlers. I send them to families as extra tutorials. Thank you!
Oh my goodness, please don’t stop making these sorts of videos! I feel so discouraged because my son just turned 16 months and isn’t talking and is stubborn with mimicking. Your enthusiasm and suggestions made me feel so much better ❤️
Don’t worry!! Also, I am coming out with a free developmental speech chart very soon!!
As long as he is meeting or working on prelinguistic skills, the sounds & words will come eventually! Hang in there!!
Hi, how’s your son? I’m the same situation and would like to know if you managed to do get any success ❤️
Any updates on your kid?
I am hearing impaired. It helps to have slower speech for people like me as well as for nonnative English speakers (I have an English teaching certificate).
Love your enthusiasm.
Love when my son gets therapists that try so hard ❤️
I just found your channel and I’m in love! I’m definitely trying these with my daughter. Thank you!!!
Oh yay! Thank you for watching! Hope these help!
Love your energy👍👍
Love this! Thanks!
Thank u so much for all your videos!!! How i wish you’re my son’s speech pathologist🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much for your valuable advice. I’m new here, instantly subscribed!
You are amazing. We wish we can have a therapist like you
Thank you for sharing . so far , every video is great . Thank you so much
❤️❤️
Your videos are so helpful!! Thank you for offering them for free.
Thank you for watching!
I really like ur videos. I will do it on my son.
Thank you so much for these wonderful ideas, I will try them out with my son!
Thank you for watching!
I was just recommended your channel and SO happy I found you!!! I Wish I had years ago! But never too late!! Your videos are by far the best speech videos that I have watched (and I've watched many) I love how fun and engaging your videos are. And I like that they are short and get straight to the point. Too many speech therapy videos ramble on and are too long, and waste your time, and aren't even helpful. By the time you get to the end you feel even more lost and confused than before! You are like a breath of fresh air!! And make what often feels overwhelming and a drag, fun, exciting and motivating! Love all if your examples, demonstrations and ideas. THANK YOU!!! 🙏👏🧡🧡🧡🧡
This is the nicest thing ever 😭😭 THANK YOU!
Couldn't agree more
Thank you!!! This channel is great, and very helpful❤️❤️❤️❤️. I am going to try every thing you are teaching to us with my little one😉😉😉.
Thanks for watching! Remember the key is to not give up!! Repetition is key! Let me know how it goes!
wow u r sooo enthusiastic.. :)
Omg you are just so awesome ❤
Thank you for this video! We're currently working on imitation of gestures and such so this is so helpful!
Oh yay!!
Thank you for sharing these videos! You have helped me learn some tips and tricks to help my daughter! Right now she just says Mmmm instead of the words so hoping to implement some of these techniques. Thank you!!!
Absolutely! Just add on a vowel using a hand cue & over-exaggeration & you’ll be good to go! You can do it! Thank you for watching & let me know how it goes!
Thank you because of this video I finally got my son to high 5!
Love this! Thank you for the comment!
Thanks for the reminder about being fun and exciting, my four year old is non verbal and after 3 years of doing this it's not so fun anymore but I really need to make more effort to make it fun for him.
You got it mama!!
i love these steagies thir so helpful so i love these vids so ill make my stuttering go away thank you!!!
Yay! Thanks for watching!
Amazing site
Thank you for the comment!
Hey Kelli! I have to start by saying I love your videos- you have helped me so much. Do you have any ideas for getting a child to imitate gross or fine motor movements who is unable to walk?
Thank you Kelly.I am from Kerala.Found your videos by chance and they are superb.My grandson is 4.5 and has sensory and Apraxia issues.Hope to get him alright with your help too🙏
❤️❤️ hang in there!! P
great ideas love them please can you sent the link of the recourses
I have lots of resources available at www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/TheSpeechScoop
I hope I could watch your videos earlier. It would be helpful for my early intervention practicum. Thank you!
Thank you!
I wolud like to be like you with my children
I would love to see some info on older children with autism and apraxia please??
Sure! What level are they at? Nonverbal, minimally verbal, producing Sounds, words, or phrases?
Hi there! New SLP practicing and I need some tips. So my kid can do some routine gestures (high-five, flying kiss, fist bump) however when I try to teach her a new sign, she would rather manipulate my hands to to do the movement rather than do it herself. I am stumped! :(
Hey there, I would check out information regarding "hand as tool" there is a specific protocol you can follow to help with that.
What would you recommend doing to help a child who is 5 1/2 years old, and
has not grown out of deaffrication?
I like to target “ch” first and explain the tongue movement - however, what other sounds have they not quite mastered? S, z, dj?
My girl is 5 years old non verbal can you please help me
My son is 2 years old, when I try teaching him to imitate he start laughing. How can I get him to pass that and actually start imitating
My son does exactly the same thing, did you find a solution?
My 18.5 month old can imitate gross motor, fine motor, gestures, and signs. He LOVES signing “again”. But absolutely NO imitation of sounds. No sounds really at all. He actually has a finger sucking habit that I believe has held him back and we were turned down for early intervention because his receptive communication and everything else was fine. I would really appreciate your thoughts. Mom on a mission here. God Bless ❤️
teachmetotalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/CHART-of-11-Skills-Toddlers-Master-Before-Words-Emerge-from-Laura-Mize-and-teachmetotalk.com_.pdf check out this chart & really try to think about which skills may not be MASTERED (meaning he does then completely by himself at least 90% of the time) and then target those skills - even if it’s a lower skill - because sometimes we see kids who skip around in developing skills and end up developing splinter higher level skills but they are missing some lower level course skills that later impact their ability to continue to climb up the developmental chart for speech and language so we have to go back to what someone consider “easier” skills & fill in those blanks because there is a reason they are usually developed in order! another idea, have you tried holding back his favorite snack to see if he will imitate any sign or sound in order to get the snack? I think I modeled this on my video of TEACHING FUNCTIONAL SPEECH WORDS, SIGNS & GESTURES VIDEO
My child just turned 1year this 14th Jan. She does the hi-5. She was doing the claps when she was 9/10m old but now she just won't do it anymore. Any idea why so?
Hmmm try popping bubbles by hand clapping! It may be the sound that scares her? Is she using other gestures? Pointing, waving, etc?
What happened with your baby? Mine is doing the same
My daughter will turn 3years in 4months. I feel so happy to share that she is doing really good now. She says sentences and everything else expected of her age. Try the show Ms Rachel. It really helped my daughter. It also helped me as a parent to learn helpful techniques to communicate with my child. I also noticed as she moved up from infant room to toddler room (18m+) in her daycare, she had an explosion of words.
@@mahjabeenmamoon6164Yayy!! I’m really glad to hear that!! I will try these techniques!
My baby is 10 month old. She fully attentive,she smiles and laughs when I sing and clap but does not imitate my clapping.
How is she now?
My child is 5 non verbal he does not point can u help mw with tht how to teach him pointing
