Does your child (or student) struggle to follow directions? You're not alone! In this episode of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast, Carrie Clark, SLP and founder of SpeechAndLanguageKids.com, walks you through how to teach children to follow directions—step-by-step. Whether you're working with toddlers just starting to understand basic commands or older kids struggling with multi-step instructions, this episode has got you covered.
You'll learn practical strategies for teaching one-step, two-step, and even complex multi-step directions, plus how to support kids using play, visuals, repetition, and more. We'll also dig into why following directions is hard for many children (even those without speech or language delays!) and what you can do to help them succeed.
