Many children with disabilities and their families struggle to connect early in life and need support developing early communication skills—and now there’s a comprehensive resource to help birth-to-three practitioners deliver that critical support to young children with disabilities and their families. This accessible guidebook will help professionals harness the power of Triadic Gaze Intervention (TGI), an evidence-based strategy that supports the development of early communication behaviors—gaze, gestures, and vocalizations—in young children with disabilities. Through a straightforward protocol, practitioners will learn powerful techniques for helping caregivers engage young children during everyday routines and build their preverbal communication skills. READERS WILL:
• Learn about the six elements of the authors’ PoWRRS-Connect protocol for implementing TGI • Use the protocol to help children make progress toward IFSP goals related to communication and engagement • Tailor the protocol for individual children with a range of disabilities and needs, including motor, sensory, or social impairments • Embed opportunities for communication and engagement into each family’s authentic routines • Facilitate stronger collaborative partnerships with caregivers $49.95 | Stock #: 21206-54661 | November 2021 | approx. 200 pages | 8 1/2 x 11 | paperback | ISBN 978-1-68125-466-1
