Summary of Week (Tip: weekly formal or informal evaluations are a good idea to determine what activities to progress to or focus more on)

Reminders: 1. Every baby develops asynchronously – meaning they will be at different levels of development in different areas. For example, a baby
could be at stage I in mobility development, stage II in tactile development, and stage III in visual development. Simply print out the logs that contain
the activities for each of these stages and use only the portions needed.
2. During transitions, stages may sometimes overlap in a single area. For example, you may start to introduce stage III visual stimulation while still
doing a few activities a day from stage II visual stimulation. This is ideal. Simply use two different logs as you gradually make the transition.

Reminders: 1. Every baby develops asynchronously – meaning they will be at different levels of development in different areas. For example, a baby
could be at stage I in mobility development, stage II in tactile development, and stage III in visual development. Simply print out the logs that contain
the activities for each of these stages and use only the portions needed.
2. During transitions, stages may sometimes overlap in a single area. For example, you may start to introduce stage III visual stimulation while still
doing a few activities a day from stage II visual stimulation. This is ideal. Simply use two different logs as you gradually make the transition.

Summary of Week (Tip: weekly formal or informal evaluations are a good idea to determine what activities to progress to or focus more on)

Reminders: 1. Every baby develops asynchronously – meaning they will be at different levels of development in different areas. For example, a baby
could be at stage I in mobility development, stage II in tactile development, and stage III in visual development. Simply print out the logs that contain
the activities for each of these stages and use only the portions needed.
2. During transitions, stages may sometimes overlap in a single area. For example, you may start to introduce stage III visual stimulation while still
doing a few activities a day from stage II visual stimulation. This is ideal. Simply use two different logs as you gradually make the transition.

“Every sound a baby makes is language. The sounds a baby makes are not merely like English, they are English.” – Glenn Doman

 Developing Respiration with mobility program  Creating Specific Sounds in a Poem

Language competence
Language development is dependent upon good, regular, mature breathing that a baby
is able to control in order to produce the sounds he wants. To develop good respiration in Reciting a poem while baby says some of the words

and look at baby with anticipation and wait for him to say the word (if he chooses).
Be patient and remember the choice is his. It may take up to thirty seconds for him to
build up the respiration needed to say a sound (his version of the word).
6. If he says a sound (the sound he says will usually not sound like the actual word)
celebrate profusely. If not, still thank him & ask him if he enjoyed the poem.
Phase  7. After he starts to consistently make a sound for “his” word (he will not
always use the same sound), drop one more ending word for him to say.
8. When you see that this poem with two dropped words is very easy for him,
introduce a new poem and repeat the process starting at phase 1.
Phase  9. Usually when baby begins crawling, his language will improve
dramatically. At this point, baby will start interrupting you, and will want more words
to say. Start using longer (more than a few words, but still brief) poems and giving
baby more words to say, using the same process as above, except you may now also
use words in the middle of sentences as well.

 Assigning Meaning to Specific Sounds

Assigning meaning to specific sounds
Date: Write new words (sounds) your baby says each day & what you think its meaning is.

  

Fill in the blanks (triangles) with the different choices for a question you may ask
your baby. I.e. for the question “What is wrong?” you could write: “hurt”, “hungry”,
“tired”, and “none of these”. Note: for the actual choice boards, use a full piece of
8x11 paper per board.
To use: ask the question and then place baby’s hand on each possible answer as you
say it (i.e. put baby’s hand on “yes” as you say “yes”, then “no” as you say “no). Then
let go of your baby’s arm and wait, seeing if he either reaches for one answer, or
looks at one. Start with only two choices, adding more as baby becomes more skilled.
