This class is for 2-3 year olds! Led by a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist, a Little Talkers class is a great way to expand language and cognition skills with fun and engaging activities for you and your little one! We use music, literacy, play and sensory-motor activities to enhance both receptive and expressive language skills. Each class is designed to address and expand upon language related developmental milestones to strengthen communication and socialization 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.
This series will be taught by Jennifer Hogan, M.A. CCC-SLP
