This is it.. I have been doing this almost intuitively with a "nonverbal" 7yrs old for 3 days since working with him and we already have 3 functional words out of his mouth, copying my other words, and A LOT of belly laughter rolling on the floor together, a lot of eye contact, saying missing words of nursery rhymes when I "freeze" mid-song, a lot of yawning at the end of the day from him being so engaged, and a lot of pure exhilaration for me going home knowing I connected with that child.
This is fantastic stuff which we as Dramatherapists agree with and also use. What you are saying here also apply to so many other settings such as with adults with LD and also mild LD. It is all about a universal way of connecting and communicating, as you very eloquently mentione in your video.
This is a wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing it. I really love using intensive interaction in my work as an SEN teacher. Keep up the good work 😊
What do u think about copying a child and incorporating interaction in it?i don’t understand how we get them to talk and share their interests..pls help me with it
Sounds like you’ve got it. ‘Get on their level’. For example, if they make nonverbal noises, copy those noises here and there. You can do it humorously, they will find it cool and funny. You still do things they don’t yet, like talk, but getting on their level encourages them to get on your level. It is like trading in communication. If they are nonverbal, don’t expect talking for a while. Just focus on communicating in the way they do and having fun the way they do (grunting, arranging blocks, etc) and introducing things you do (words, building with blocks etc). This is strictly playtime tho. You should designate play time for this, and outside if that act as you normally would with a few exceptions just because you do want them to see the difference in how you act in day to day life versus how you bond with them.
Very helpful, thank you. Love the way you interact with your lovely dog. ❤

great video- thank you so much. Would be very interested in seeing an example of an Intensive Interaction session with a preschooler

Mark Peppiatt so great to hear about teachers using this approach. Isn’t it fun?!
Essentially, you ‘get on their level’ and slowly build blocks on? Ha! I’ve been doing this!
Lovely landscape - love you dog!
