Join The Next Virtual Declarative Language Workshop!
Next Group: Thursdays at 7:30pm ET, September 16, 2021 - November 4, 2021
Presented by Linda K. Murphy MS, CCC-SLP and Lizz Ramirez, RDI Consultant
What you need to know starting out…
During this training, participants sign on for eight classes to learn about and become proficient in their use of declarative language. This speaking style is powerful in guiding social learning. Topics covered during the eight classes range from the basics of what is a declarative statement, to specific scenarios and learning opportunities in which we can use declarative language to guide social learning. Overall mechanics and the construction of declarative statements are practiced in depth. The idea of co-regulation, an essential partner to declarative language, will also be introduced and practiced.
Other Details…
The following are our weekly topics. These may be modified slightly based on what is most relevant for the group:
Week 1: Introduction to The Power of Declarative Language – A Thoughtful Language Style to Help Kids with Social Learning Challenges Feel Competent, Connected, and Understood
Week 2: Homework Review, discussion and Q&A
Week 3: Co-Regulation and A Guiding Mindset
Week 4: Homework Review, discussion and Q&A
Week 5: Visual Referencing & Nonverbal Communication
Week 6: Homework Review, discussion and Q&A
Week 7: Appreciating Different Opinions
Week 8: Homework Review, discussion and Q&A
What you need to do…
Participants are encouraged to complete a baseline video, audio clip or written anecdote and our self-reflection form prior to starting the workshop (formal instructions to be provided), and complete homework assignments as discussed after sessions 1, 3, 5 and 7. Homework assignments consist of active practice with one’s own child around a concept and can be captured through video clips, audio clips, or written anecdotes.
Participants’ homework will be used in class for reflection, trouble shooting, shared celebration of progress, observation of growth, and overall group learning. Using personal video clips, audio clips and/or written anecdotes in this way is powerful as it paves the way for individual meaning and application of the concepts covered and allow Linda and Lizz to provide individual guidance around the dynamics of interactions with your child. All participants benefit from shared assignments. Participants may also wish to purchase Declarative Language Handbook and Co-Regulation Handbook, available on Amazon, to supplement their learning.
Cost: $250 for this 8 week workshop, with one class each Thursday. Each individual class lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on review of homework assignments, questions and group discussion.
