Early Intervention

Research tells us that young children learn best from their parents and caregivers in their natural environments. Individual therapy sessions and online learning modules empower parents to improve their interaction skills in order to boost their child’s communication development all day, every day.

Communication starts with interaction

As a parent, you’re the best person to build your child’s early communication skills because you spend the most time with your child and they are most comfortable with you. Children learn to communicate through positive, back-and-forth interactions with their caregivers. You know your child better than anyone, including what’s motivating and interesting to them. Our programs help you learn to use communication strategies naturally, throughout the day so that your child is learning in meaningful situations; Not just during therapy sessions.

Research shows that when parents use specific interaction strategies during everyday moments with their child, the child’s vocabulary and language skills improve.
