Talking with Tots

Join Maia L. Magder, M.S. CCC-SLP, a Speech-language Pathologist as we explore infant and toddlers' communication development from the newborn stage until 3 years, and learn how to foster language skills. Appropriate games and toys for specific developmental stages will be shared in detail, as well as red flags for the need for early intervention. Learn the basics of baby signing, and learn about dual language acquisition.
