Led by a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist, a Little Talkers class is a great way to build both pre-verbal and verbal skills with fun and engaging activities for you and your little one. We use music, literacy, and sensory-motor activities to enhance joint attention, listening skills, vocalization, expressive language, turn-taking, and socialization through play. Each class utilizes meaningful gestures, baby sign language, and core words to expand communication skills in a meaningful way. Additionally, the instructor provides a "parenting tip" to focus on during each class and gives suggestions to facilitate language learning at home. |
