Laura Brown, early intervention speech-language pathologist, joins Lacy in a conversation about early communication. Laura lists skills that we see in children before they begin talking. She discusses the importance of modeling and using gestures to help develop communication skills in little ones. Laura and Lacy discuss why introducing sign language as a means of communication is always a good idea and how signs and gestures can be used for a lifetime to communicate. Lastly, Laura identifies common mistakes parents make that may not encourage their child's communication development as much as they had hoped. Laura and Lacy's conversation is filled with good information for parents and families of young children to better understand all that must be mastered before first words emerge as well as how best to support preverbal skill development. For professionals, this conversation will deepen your knowledge and give you great talking points when discussing early communication development with the families you serve.
