Training programme for parents of children with language difficulties

Are you concerned about your child’s language development? Perhaps they still speak very unclearly, do not use sentence structures, or have a very limited vocabulary compared to their peers? The parenting training programme includes:

• a supportive approach to language development;
• joint attention;
• corrective feedback;
• language-promoting questions;
• language-promoting book reading;
• songs, rhymes and finger plays;
• language development through playing together, as well as
• oral motor skills for correct pronunciation.

The parent training course begins on Wednesday 4 November 2026 and takes place from 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm at the KOMPASS Sprache Teaching and Research Lab. Participating parents will be guided through six sessions on how to effectively support their child’s language development. They will gain a comprehensive overview of children’s developmental processes. Particular focus will be placed on the critical phases of language development. >> further information and registration for the parent training course
