Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn Sue’s practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

Over 400 Early Child Educators told me their top 2 questions they wanted answered, and I used those to create these Tips & Strategies

What you will learn:

✅ Perfect Camera Moment Teaching: “When you take a photo one second before you could have had a horrible face, one second after you could have had a horrible face. You’ve gotta find that sweet spot.”

✅ Four Teaching Approaches: Direct teaching (one-on-one quiet environment), engineered situations (setting up pointing opportunities at eating time), incidental teaching (daily opportunities), and making it fun with animation.

✅ Backward Training Success: “If you’re teaching a child to put their shoes on, you might actually put the whole shoe on, and all they have to do is one Velcro.”

✅ Clear Lunchbox Communication: “Get one of an old fashioned lunchbox… if the child doesn’t have object permanence… on top you might put a picture of their sandwich and their apple.”

✅ GPS Communication Style: “Think how a GPS talks a calm, monotone voice… you shouldn’t be using more words than the child. Probably just one or two more words.”

✅ Now-Next-Later Board: “Put a photo of the child, maybe write their name as well… Personally, I like to have the thing they like in the next in the middle.”

✅ Sensory Regulation Toolkit: “You might have those tools in a basket, in a tent for some children. But some children need big body breaks. They need to go and throw things or hang on the monkey bars.”

✅ Toilet Timing Preparation: “Start taking them with other children, getting them involved in the process. Even if they’re flushing, putting toilet paper in flushing, washing their hands.”

✅ Visual Multiplication Strategy: “Be eclectic with your visuals and always add speech with the visuals… You still need to allow the child process to look at the picture.”

✅ Two-Goal Implementation: “Let’s pretend we’re working on the child waiting and finishing where everybody’s gonna work on that. The OT, the speech, the psychologists, the grandparents.”
