In ecolalia disorder, inflections in changes and mode of expression of voice tone are very important because children pay much more attention to for example:
Modulations and voice.
More acute voice inflections.
Higher voice inflections.
It is important to know how to use these guidelines with any of our children in the process of continuous improvement.
How can you work more complex instructions on ecolalia disorder?
To work the most complex instructions it is necessary to have determined what is the receptive level in the child and / or adult with this disorder; Compression must be worked at all times.
Game to work the instructions by means of figures
Two instructions must be joined, in this case two representative figures for the child and / or adult to choose.
The educator may ask which figure he wishes to choose, granting him that option but based on his learning about differences in form, appearance, among others.
When they are given a choice, they have visual support, which literally supports verbal instruction.
It is important to simplify as much information as possible.
It is necessary to use "YES" and "NO" questions.
When observing that the child is not understanding and again falls to the ecolalia, they must be given the correct model to follow, for example: Simplified forms, isolated words, and depending on age can be approached with small sentences.
How can the prayers to work in ecolalia disorder be?
By starting this process of modification and learning, simple sentences for modeling and restructuring can be for example:
- What's here? and show what there is and respond with its meaning.
It is important with children who have ecolalia or who have a problem understanding, join verbal and nonverbal language. All our gestures, the signs with the hands, give information that can be useful to better understand.
Verbal information allows you to focus on the face, mouth and hands to correctly understand what the educator and / or representative is asking for.
Importance of teaching respect and speaking time when working with ecolalia disorder
Teaching to respect the turn to be able to speak, is something that helps children in all areas, it is also synonymous with respect.
At this point, you work and learn, for example:
Voice modulation.
You learn to understand through the movement of the face.
The child better understands what he has to do.
Note: You can use your hand to touch the child's homrbo, so that it is understood that it is the other person's turn to speak, or just raise your hand and say, "permission can I speak?".
Greetings educators and motivators of education; It is important to always remember that comprehension is a linguistic field that must be worked with a lot of patience, in this way we ensure that children and / or adults understand what they are being taught and, above all, the things that integrate it, within of the receptive language itself.
