FREE SAMPLE
Toddler 1 – 3 years · Hearing and speech
🌿
No response to name: absorbed, or processing?
ABSORBED IN AN ACTIVITY (a narrow beam of attention)
When doing nothing, the child turns reliably.
Responds to favourite sounds — a rustling bag, keys, a favourite song.
Makes eye contact without difficulty otherwise.
SOUND PROCESSING (sound does not connect to meaning)
Does not respond reliably even in quiet and calm.
Responds to sounds unpredictably — ignoring them one time, startled the next.
Does not look at an object when you name it, although it is in plain sight.
WHAT YOU CAN TRY TODAY (with both)
Come closer and touch first, then speak. Attention switches more easily through touch.
Use the name only to address, never as a reproach. Otherwise it loses its function.
Try it in quiet and in noise and note the difference — that is information for a professional.
