how do i make my cochlear implanted 5yrs child vocalise with me at home?

Answer 1

I suggest you get advise from his speech therapist, it really depends on what progress he has already made and where is at in his therapy.

Answer 2

Have a contest to see who can make the:
Silliest sound
loudest sound
the quietest sound
the longest sound
You can try:
interactive play with toy animals; teach the child the sounds animals make.
Play with a doll house with dolls representing the members of your family (PlaySkool makes a good one).
Get small cars, buses, planes and trains and work on the sounds they make.
Use kids books that have simple language and LOTS of pictures.. They should be the ones that a 2-3 year-old would have. I say that because that's probably the stage of the
child's receptive skills.
Just remember to keep it fun. Don't drill the child- that's the therapist's job. After all, you want the child to know it's fun to talk and listen!

Answer 3

Does the child vocalize outside of the home? If no, more therapy is needed before you can ask much. If yes, it is a case of knowing that parents can be walked all over, lol. No offense, of course, but kids know that their parents are push-overs. If the child knows HOW to vocalize but refuses to at home, refuse to do whatever the child is asking for. No cookie unless you can ASK for one, things like that.
