Can the VICON Method be positive for verbal children who find it difficult to get started in speech?

Many families contact us asking if the VICON Method is appropriate for their children who, although verbal, have difficulties constructing sentences, children with SLI with problems of expression and comprehension, with difficulties in using more 2 words or developing a more discursive response.

What can the VICON Method give your little one?

We have within the program verbal children who do not finish starting to speak and it seems that something is blocking the natural development of language , in this case we use the Method with very different objectives than with children who do not have language.

VICON method is programmed much faster so that we reinforce several things:

– More experience with language: surely even if they are verbal children, language always comes with associated cognitive deficiencies that are blocking the natural evolution of language.

– Confidence and Self-Esteem: VICON Method is a musical program that will enhance the appearance of more vocabulary, more articulation skills so that you will be understood better, you will get what you want sooner, more differences in tone, these are children who tend to speak with little intonation and expressiveness. How important is motivation and feeling that all my messages reach and are understood by the other!!

– Memory: It will stimulate linguistic memory, more vocabulary, more repetitions and new words, especially in an environment such as the VICON Method designed to be functional and familiar, giving priority to the child's close language so that it is easily spontaneous, functional and later social and elaborate.

– Articulation: articulation work is very necessary to fix the words and then multiply them into a structure with more units and this process is complex without using an intensive and constant method such as the VICON Method.

– Socialization: music leads to the bond between siblings, parents, family... and opens incredible doors of interaction that in the case of language can be a very rich way of social language, especially now that we are confined and we don't know for how long.

On the other hand, right now we have difficult moments where schools, therapies stop and everything becomes more complex and it is very important to continue constant stimulation so we see it as ideal for these moments where we can also do a 3-week trial for free, what can we do? lose?? With our extensive experience in verbal and non-verbal patients, we know that when faced with our “videos” each child reads a different one , connects with a part, a mouth, a tone, a song, a character… and it is always a rich and positive activity for them.

Anything is always monitored, there will be an assigned person from the team throughout the testing phase so we can assess together how the experience is going.

Good luck in the process!!!
