strategies
- Listen for meaning and respond to content; do not criticize or call attention to speech dysfluencies.

- Allow the person to finish his thought; refrain from filling in words of your own.
- Ask questions so they can be answered with a few words; work toward more detailed responses.
- Read aloud; point out rhyming words and repetitive sounds.
- Create opportunities for conversation; designate special times to talk about the day's activities; make choices about food or activities; discuss a favorite book or game.
- Teach the meaning of new words; use multiple concrete examples; explain how the same word can be used in different situations.
