ASHA CEU Course #385 When Is A Child Developmentally Ready to Talk?

UPDATED ASHA COURSE #3850 BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER 2024

Before any child begins to talk, he’s mastering a set of 11 distinct skills that develop before we begin to hear words. Let me explain how important these skills are… When any one of these skills is disrupted, there’s possibly a language delay. When several are missing, a stall in language development is inevitable. When a child struggles to attain many of these skills, a long-term communication disorder is likely. In this one-hour audio-video podcast, we’ll review the 11 skills so that you can understand the key role each skill plays in language development. By the end of the show, ASHA CEU Course #0385 When Is A Child Developmentally Ready to Talk? Teaching Parents of Toddlers the Importance of Prelinguistic Skills, you’ll have a good idea for what you should work on to help any toddler begin to communicate.
