Late Talkers Foundation welcomes you to the commencement of THE PARENT SCHOOL, proudly presented on our Late Talker Journey platform! This initial course is about "Communicative Initiations" and consists of seven sequential lessons.
In this transformative journey, we will learn about communicative initiations. Discover what exactly constitutes a communicative initiation, explain its profound influence, and gain invaluable insights on how to use this knowledge intentionally to nurture and enhance our child's talking and language. Being overtly aware of the important skills presented in this course, allows us to employ them more frequently and with intentionality and enhance our child's communication and talking!
This second lesson (of the 7 in this course) explains the essential components of communicative initiations so that we parents can clearly recognize them. Prepare to explore this topic, equip yourself with the tools, and how you can use this knowledge to support your child's talking! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are delighted that you have joined us at this crucial starting point. Your engagement is invaluable to us, and we encourage you to share your feedback, ask questions, and actively participate in this journey. Our mission is to provide you with the support and resources you need to help your child thrive.
Together, let's navigate this path, overcome challenges, and celebrate victories. We are here to assist you every step of the way, so please don't hesitate to reach out. We genuinely aspire to aid you in nurturing your child's development effectively.
