Help at home
5 min read
This is not a diagnosis (official name from a doctor).
These guides are for parent education. They do not replace a child doctor, psychologist, or speech-language pathologist.
Clinic time is short. Home is where skills stick.
Pick two goals
This month: asking for water, and a calmer bedtime. That is enough. Write them on the fridge so the whole house follows the same plan.
How to talk at home
Sit at their level. Talk about what they are doing. Pause. Do not fire ten questions. Celebrate trying, not only perfect words. Cut solo screen time.
Quick answers
Should we hire a full-time helper at home?
Not as the first step. First teach asking, waiting a little, and a tiny routine. A helper who does everything can slow independence.
