Speech therapy introduction to sign-supported communication
GuK, or sign-supported communication, is a holistic, speech-supported therapy approach developed by Professor Dr. Etta Wilken. It is used to promote language development in children, adolescents, and adults. The goal is to improve communication and interaction.
GuK consists of a basic and advanced vocabulary of over 200 terms, signs, and pictures. The combination of movement, images, and reading stimulates learning. In this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations of GuK as well as the structure of the GuK 1 and 2 material kits. The new GuK app will also be introduced. You will analyze video examples from speech therapy and practice vocabulary and grammar development.
Your questions, experiences, and ideas are welcome! Feel free to bring your own game materials to implement in GuK.
Target group: Therapists, educators, family members and interested parties
Learning outcomes: After the seminar, they will know the structure of the GuK I and II material boxes and will be able to apply GuK to songs, games and activities in everyday life.
