WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR

Does this sound familiar?

"My child gets frustrated when they can’t get their message across, and I want to learn how to better support their communication skills and understand the ways they may be trying to express themselves"

"My child doesn’t seem to be talking as much as their peers do or their siblings did, and I want to help them catch up to expected milestones."

"My child experiences challenges in following simple directions at home and in the early childhood classroom, which makes it difficult for them to engage in daily routines"

If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. It’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.

This program is specifically designed to help support children build their understanding of language and communication development.

ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING

What the program covers

Does your child become frustrated when they can’t express their needs or engage with others? Early Years Language Program is designed to support early language and social development in children aged 1 to 3 through play-based, interactive activities that make learning language engaging and accessible. This program aims to empower children to expand their vocabulary, understand new concepts and communicate their thoughts and feelings more effectively. Through activities like songs, shared book reading and structured play, children can develop key expressive and receptive language skills while discovering the joy of interaction.

The program also offers parents and caregivers practical tools to support effective communication, including the use of Aided Language Displays (ALDs) that can help children of all communication levels to follow along and participate. By introducing concepts like turn-taking, sharing, and basic problem-solving through play, children are supported to grow at their own pace, gaining confidence in social interactions and learning that communication can be both rewarding and fun!

With a flexible range of structured and unstructured activities, Early Years Language Program allows parents to tailor play to their child’s developmental stage, from hands-on sensory exploration to interactive storytelling. The program also provides guidance for adapting each activity, encouraging parents to foster their child’s language skills in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. This program may be useful for children with language difficulties, communication frustrations or social hesitations, providing supportive tools to build a strong foundation for confident communication as they grow.
