I want to know the methods of early intervention in 1-18 months infants by parent with help and training by speech and language pathologists.
During the one year I worked in pediatric speech pathology, we used Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development to assess children in that age. Hawaii Early Learning Profiles are also useful. For intervention, I'm a fan of Stanley Greenspan's Floortime and DIR model approach. It uses mirroring and looking at waht pre-communicative stage an infant is at. It can be used by parents as well as professionals. I haven't work with children since 2005 so there may be new approaches.
Dear Farin,
In this very sensitive period, one of the well-tested methods is the use of diagnostic tools as means of follow up and documenting the current status of the infant which will result to clear picture and early expectations about the case that could be dealt with in later stages. One of the best producing publishers of these assessment tools is Pro-ed: http://www.proedinc.com/customer/default.aspx
In the above website, you can check for the assessment tools that are meant to language development from day 1 and on.

Agree that the use of the Functional Emotional Developmental Milestones is a good way to support early language, growth and development. Another strong way is with the Early Start Denver Model and the curriculum checklist. This targets all of the prelinguistic behaviors that are critical for young children.
Hi Farin,SLP's can be trained in the various Hanen Centre courses.Contact information : [email protected].
