Research has shown that parents of children with communication disorders can be successfully taught strategies to help increase their children's language development. Strategies frequently taught to parents include responsiveness to communication, expanding on children's utterances, modeling appropriate language structures, creating communication opportunities in every day routines and interactive storybook reading. This presentation will review the literature on teaching parents to use language facilitation strategies and discuss the development of a series of workshops designed as part of a graduate student research project. The workshops involved educating families about language facilitation strategies, demonstrating these strategies through videos and role playing and providing parents opportunities to practice the strategies. Undergraduate students in speech-language pathology assisted in development and implementation of the workshops. Participants' feedback on the benefits of the workshops will be presented. Additionally, the undergraduate student volunteers' observations of their learning experiences will be discussed.
