Beyond Flashcards | Turning Everyday Moments Into Opportunities for Language Growth
Did you know that the questions we ask children should change as they develop? Asking the right questions at the right time helps children’s communication flourish.
Paula LaSala-Filangeri is a Speech-Language Pathologist who has been supporting children and families for over 25 years.
How can parents move beyond flashcards and start turning everyday routines, like walking in nature or baking a cake, into powerful opportunities for language growth?
Here are a few of the key insights we’ll explore:
💥 Parents as the Primary Language Facilitators
💥 Following Your Child’s Lead & Building on Motivation
💥 Creating Communicative Temptations
💥 Modeling, Not Testing
💥 Building Blocks of Sentences: Nouns + Verbs
💥 The Power of Questions (and the Right Order)
Paula holds an Honours degree in Linguistics and a Master of Clinical Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Western University.
With expertise in autism, developmental delay, communication, and literacy, Paula has worked in homes, schools, and community settings, and in 2011 opened a private clinic in her hometown of Leamington. She continues to balance private practice with her role in the public school system.
A passionate educator, Paula has been a guest lecturer for St. Clair College’s Educational Assistant program and an active community volunteer, co-founding initiatives with Autism Ontario’s Windsor-Essex chapter and contributing to her Italian cultural community. A lifelong learner, she enjoys reading, writing, and connecting with others—and remains dedicated to empowering children and families.
