10: Generalisation
Meaningful content engages children. They stay attentive. Variety in our use of vocabulary and language forms, builds deeper and more extensive learning pathways.
In this tenth episode, Generalisation: Following up on targets in Auditory-Verbal Therapy, Shefali Shah and Rashi Sanghi bring this concept to life with real-world examples. Their conversation shows how frequency and variety are essential in building a child’s comprehension and ability to talk fluently.
Generalisation refers to the sufficient and varied use of a language form so that a deaf or hard of hearing child can understand and use it spontaneously in everyday life, beyond structured practice.
Embed learning across diverse moments and forms in every day, to enrich your deaf or hard of hearing child’s experience of life, language and learning.

🎧 Top Tips from Episode 10
Generalisation refers to sufficiency and variety. Frequent and varied use of a word or concept helps your child move from understanding to confident use.
Focus on intent, not instruction. Engage in heartfelt exchanges that carry meaning.
Stay on target. Be spontaneous but keep your child’s weekly targets in sight.
Move beyond mere labelling in order to provide your child the enriched input she needs to learn.
Generalisation builds independence. With generalisation, children develop the confidence to experiment and use language independent of the contexts that they were shared with them.
