Language Development in Early Years: applying Relational Oral Language Learning In Early Years (ROLLIE) to increase flexibility and agency

Join in with a discussion about how we can be deliberate in our use of simple language features as a way to increase the flexibility of thought in the young children we teach. Your presented, Andrew Salisbury, will bring you a series of ideas about language development, and connect them to practical tasks to use in your early learning centre, or home school setting. Come prepared to discuss, and ask questions.

This workshop is part of a larger series about language development in the early years. It is aligned with the concepts found in Relational Frame Theory and addresses some of the concerns currently swirling around DLD (Developmental Language Disorder).

This is a practical course, that is deeply rooted in current theories of language development, and remediation of language learning difficulties. However, it is not a speech-language therapy course, nor does it address issues of speech production and articulation.
