✨One of the Best Freebies I've Ever Created✨


Hi everyone,

Back 18 months ago....one of you fabulous people named Mary reached out to me and asked me to create a Spanish version of the Imitation Hierarchy by Laura Mize.

The Imitation Hierarchy is something that I think a lot of SLPs know on a gut level, but back before I wasn't aware of a formal hierarchy. It is part of the 180 page Building Verbal Imitation Skills in Toddlers program that Laura Mize has created on her website. She is a legend and a tremendous resource who has a ton of useful products including low cost ASHA CEUs too.

I went ahead and worked with a professional translator to collaborate on creating something that would be beneficial for both SLPs and parents. By creating this resource, I am absolutely not trying to step on anyone's toes and also I am not sponsored by Laura Mize or her Teach Me to Talk website. This is a freebie and I am not charging for it and I'm making no money from it. In fact, I paid a professional translator to collaborate with me to make sure what I create is right.

CLICK HERE for the PDF: IMITATION HIERARCHY The first page is the original content in English and the second page is the same (or very close) in Spanish. You can't always directly translate in Spanish so you choose words that mean the same conceptually.​

I just wanted to get this out in the world in Spanish because I think it will help bilingual families and bilingual SLPs!

Going back to the Imitation Hierarchy, it describes non-verbal communicative behaviors that are the building blocks to communication. It offers suggestions on how to increase those behaviors and also some early speech too.

Thanks Mary for the request for a Spanish copy. Feel free to ask me to create something for you - I'm open to suggestions any time!

Have an awesome week, everyone!

All the best, Sarah 💘

February has arrived! 💝 Wow, January flew by and I'm hoping that February is a fresh start in so many ways. January wasn't a great start to the year, am I right? It was a rough one for our country and boy did that month drag on or what? February in Illinois brings ISHA, our state convention. I've been to ISHA a lot over the years and I've always liked it. The last time I was there was in 2019 and back then I actually made a video about it: What ISHA is like. Funny to think that it probably...
