Abstract

The Preschool Language Program is a play-based language-focused preschool in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Purdue University. The program is co-led by a speech-language pathologist and early childhood educator. It supports children ages 3-5 with communication needs related to developmental language disorder, deaf/hard of hearing, autism, and other diagnoses. The curriculum focuses on language and whole child development throughout daily routines. This document includes an overview of the program, as well as an explanation of curriculum components with references. It also contains 24 weekly curriculum plans. The curriculum can be used by preschool teachers as a stand-alone classroom curriculum or by speech/language pathologists for language therapy.
