Part 3 of the series, join us in learning the crucial stages of communication and language development in children from birth to age five. You will learn about key language milestones, the brain’s role in language growth, and effective strategies for supporting early communication skills, especially in children who may have experienced trauma or instability. We will explore the unique needs of foster and system-involved youth, and how to create supportive environments, including bilingual settings, that foster healthy communication development. Gain practical tools and strategies to nurture young children’s language skills and promote healthy brain development through everyday communication, with a focus on overcoming barriers to learning for these vulnerable populations.
