So let's go step by step!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>THE MOTIVATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Para prepararlos para el lenguaje tendr\u00e9is que encontrar aquello que les motive. Quiero que no solamente hag\u00e1is una lista de lo que les gusta a vuestros hijos en cuanto a objetos, comida o actividades,\u00a0 sino que <strong>trabaj\u00e9is en ampliar esa lista<\/strong>. Una de las cosas que trabajamos en las terapias iniciales es ampliar las cosas que <strong>motivan al ni\u00f1o<\/strong>, lo que en una metodolog\u00eda ABA se conoce como <strong>reforzadores<\/strong>.\u00a0Los necesitamos y ser\u00e1n imprescindibles para ir trabajando m\u00e1s adelante, porque ser\u00e1n el anclaje que har\u00e1 que nuestros ni\u00f1os quieren estar ah\u00ed con nosotros.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">En los ni\u00f1os no verbales es tan necesario este concepto porque la motivaci\u00f3n no sigue los mismos par\u00e1metros y no se rige naturalmente como la nuestra. Es necesario encontrar aquello que motiva a nuestros ni\u00f1os y hacer un ejercicio de investigaci\u00f3n y de exploraci\u00f3n\u00a0para ampliar mucho m\u00e1s ese registro motivacional. Unos ejemplos que pueden ayudaros son: saltar en la cama, hacer pompas de jab\u00f3n, jugar con el agua en un barre\u00f1o, la m\u00fasica,\u00a0instrumentos, canciones, sonidos. Tambi\u00e9n reforzadores primarios c\u00f3mo alg\u00fan alimento u objeto que les guste manipular.\u00a0Incluso las propias personas pueden ser reforzadores de esos ni\u00f1os.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">La idea del trabajo de estos motivadores es que, a trav\u00e9s de ellos, consigamos desarrollar fotos mucho m\u00e1s sociales y verbales. Si establecemos una asociaci\u00f3n mientras su motivador est\u00e1 ocurriendo con se\u00f1ales, frases,\u00a0unas palabras, \u00e9stas podr\u00e1n actuar de la misma manera cuando ya no los asociamos a esos motivadores.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In summary, the first step is to discover the reinforcers and then do a systematic job of giving verbal labels while we are doing them. It is very important that every time everyday moments end we resort to this exercise to ensure that the activities and objects become broad reinforcers, enriching the lives of our children and giving them joy. Because without emotion there is no learning or will; So keep this resource in your pocket so that it is always at hand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>THE ATTENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Attention is the second process that takes place prior to language. <strong>Eye contact will be<\/strong> the first aspect that we will work on with our non-verbal children, helping us with those magnificent reinforcers to carry out an exercise to reinforce all the eye contacts that the child makes. With this we seek interaction with our little ones: we have to find it and fix it. And this second skill is the response to their name, every time our children turn around when they hear their name we will be reinforcing those motivators so that it happens again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">El tercer aspecto es <strong>la permanencia del objeto. <\/strong>Esta habilidad<strong> <\/strong>es innata en los ni\u00f1os sin <a href=\"https:\/\/metodovicon.articagency.net\/en\/categoria\/trastornos-del-lenguaje\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">trastornos<\/a>, pero muchas veces no est\u00e1 desarrollada en nuestros ni\u00f1os no verbales. Es muy importante desarrollarla para entender el funcionamiento del mundo ya que cuando no se desarrolla bien genera much\u00edsima conducta,\u00a0estr\u00e9s y ansiedad porque los ni\u00f1os sienten que las cosas que no ven o que dejan de ver desaparecen.\u00a0Eso puede ocurrir con sus objetos favoritos, con una persona, con su madre.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Para desarrollar la permanencia del objeto son muy importantes los juegos del cuc\u00fa y peekaboo: ocultarse debajo de una\u00a0manta o esconder objetos dentro de una caja llena de lentejas. Tenemos que ense\u00f1ar al ni\u00f1o que pasa con esos objetos, por lo que es muy importante ir progresivamente con estas actividades. Os invitamos a esconder los objetos primero parcialmente, que puedan ver un trozo\u00a0y poco a poco acabar escondiendo el objeto entero e incluso con transici\u00f3n, es decir escondemos el objeto fuera del alcance del ni\u00f1o.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although it may seem like a simple skill, the vast majority of non-verbal children have great difficulty developing it and it even generates a large percentage of the stress that the child suffers from this change in the environment that they are not able to understand. Assemble bags, trunks, sheets, boxes and dedicate significant time to developing the permanence of the object.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Finally, <strong>signaling<\/strong> is important in this attentional phase. Although it is not a skill that all children develop, it is true that achieving this skill greatly facilitates family life, communication with our non-verbal children, and their emotional health. There is no need to become obsessed with it and of course you have to give it all the non-invasive physical help possible: physically helping, but without forcing. We can manipulate the child's body and redirect it with our own, give verbal help by telling him what to do, help by signaling us, etc.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">So at the beginning of the activities it is very important to give as much help as possible and reinforce. Little by little we withdraw the help and increase those reinforcers because he is already doing it on his own. Remember, motivation, attention and imitation. Let's go for the latter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>THE IMITATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">After having worked through the entire motivational phase, we are happy, active, animated and attentive. With these ingredients is when joint attention emerges, active communication within a framework where we learn something together, we attend to an activity hand in hand: there, in this context, is where imitation arises.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Existen muchos tipos de imitaci\u00f3n,\u00a0algunos m\u00e1s sencillos que otros, pero es estrictamente necesario que el ni\u00f1o tenga esta capacidad.\u00a0 La imitaci\u00f3n con las manos,\u00a0con los brazos,\u00a0los pies,\u00a0las, piernas,\u00a0la boca, la lengua, la cabeza\u2026 toda esta coordinaci\u00f3n nos dar\u00e1 la base\u00a0para controlar todos los aspectos prerrequisitos del lenguaje.\u00a0 Es a trav\u00e9s de esta imitaci\u00f3n que llegaremos a la <strong>imitaci\u00f3n verbal, <\/strong>que nuestro hijo sea capaz de imitar lo que las otras personas dicen y aprenda del contexto de todas las personas que le rodean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Motivaci\u00f3n atenci\u00f3n e imitaci\u00f3n; las familias que est\u00e1n en M\u00e9todo VICON est\u00e1n muy familiarizados con todos estos conceptos\u00a0y la importancia de cada uno de ellos. Todos son progresivos y evolutivos, por lo que es muy importante que cada uno de ellos est\u00e9 fuerte, desarrollado y activo para que emerja el lenguaje.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Siento deciros que el camino del lenguaje es largo y requiere de una preparaci\u00f3n extensa, profunda y consistente en t\u00e9rminos de motivaci\u00f3n atenci\u00f3n e imitaci\u00f3n.
