Watch Your Child's Speech and Language Grow

From the time they are born, children start communicating. Very early in their lives, they learn to understand what you are saying and to make sounds of their own. They are beginning to develop speech and language skills that will help them make friends and learn to read, and later, to succeed at school and in life. Communication skills are critical to your child’s future.

About one in 10 children needs help developing normal speech and language skills. Without this help it’s a struggle to listen and talk, it’s difficult to learn to read and it’s hard to play with other children.
