Children begin to acquire and develop language skills from birth.  Parent talk of their joy and amazement as their young child begins to communicate. Join us to learn how language and communication develops in children, newborn to 5 years.  Developmental milestones and language components, the prerequisites for literacy development, are highlighted. Also discussed are signs of delayed communicative development as well as activities to stimulate language in infants and toddlers. The seminar includes video demonstrations of different levels of language development.
