🧐 When you hear the term “childhood language development,” do you think about your OLDER students?

Even though your bigger kids develop more gradually, there are still MANY important milestones that occur!

I thought you might like to learn about 5 big changes that happen and how you can use them to your advantage in therapy!

💡One of my favorite discoveries has been that adolescents experience a “second developmental window” due to increased neuroplasticity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain!

❓What does this mean for us?

Well, Fahy & Browning (2021) found that kids with a history of developmental language disorder were more likely to experience executive functioning challenges in the upper grades.

The good news is that we can take advantage of their brain development! 🧠🙌 It’s easy to incorporate executive functioning strategies and supports during language therapy (and it can make a big impact!)

⬇️ Comment below if you’d like me to send you the link! I LOVED learning more about language development in older students because it can make treatment planning so much more intentional!

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING (EF) IN OLDER STUDENTS 🧠 I have some good news and some bad news.

Since I always like to end on a happy note, I’ll start with the not-so-good news….

Researchers have found that older children with developmental language disorder also tend to experience EF challenges (Fahy & Browning, 2022).

How about the GOOD news? 😀

As children enter into adolescence, there is a “second developmental window” due to increased neuroplasticity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain!

What does this mean??

It means that if we incorporate EF strategies into our work with our older students, they have the potential to make substantial progress

QUICK REFRESHER!

Executive functioning is a set of cognitive skills that help with the organization, self-control, and planning needed to achieve goals.

Basically, it’s important because our students need to learn how to…well…learn!

📝 Brainstorming, studying, note-taking and completing assignments all require these skills.

Articulation practice can feel HARD…especially for older kids. When the 💡 went off about I can help them feel confident and encouraged *during* the process, I just had to share it all in a blog post!

Do your students tend to feel discouraged or frustrated during articulation practice?
