Communication is a basic human right. However, there are many people that have complex communication needs and who cannot communicate with speech alone. Kippin House’s mission is to help these people to participate fully and we are here to help you do the same!
Kippin House offers training and workshops on how to support people with complex communication needs with the help of AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). Our workshops will inspire and broaden your knowledge through practical information and theory. The most powerful workshops are the ones where you get both information and material, so that you can utilize your newly acquired knowledge immediately. We always tailor our workshops to fit the needs of our clients! Workshops can be held in Finnish, English and Swedish.
Children explore the world and learn new things through play. Therefore, using play is one of the most valuable tools we have in early education. How do we then utilize the power of play in order to support language development? That is one of the most important question that professionals will get the answer to in this workshop.
Professionals will get in depth knowledge on children’s language development and play, making it easier for them to support children’s language skills.
Many countries have gotten more and more multicultural in the 21st century and it is not uncommon that there are many children who are learning a second language when they start attending daycare. E.g. in Finland the amount of multicultural children has doubled during the last 10 years, which means that the role of early education is even more important. Children need to get a good language foundation in daycare to enable future learning later on in school. How can daycare personnel best support children who are learning their second language in daycare? In this workshop professionals will get information on how to support second language learners and what to do with a child who has difficulty learning their second language.
Professionals will get information on what the can do as an early education specialist to enable participation, support language development and help the children learn in a fun and inspiring way.
In almost every daycare group there are children who need extra support in their communication and language development. Supporting these children can be a difficult task for the daycare personnel due to lack of time and limited resources. Finding time to make new material for language learning sessions can be difficult and coming up with new ideas even more difficult. If a professional is experiencing any of these challenges, this workshop is the right fit for them! Through this workshop professionals will get both ready-made material and a lot of fresh ideas for them to take into use in early education sessions.
