About This Activity
Description
Ages 15-30 months & an Adult. Toddlers develop their speech and language skills at many different rates. In this class, adults learn and practice strategies to enhance language learning with guidance from teacher and Speech Language Pathologist Emily McGuire. During the first half of class, toddlers and adults explore and play in different stations in our classroom while making choices, playing and interacting with peers. The second part moves to circle time with songs, movement, partner activities, and “What’s in the Box?” Returning families have dedicated time to practice already-introduced strategies in a supportive classroom setting. Instructor: Emily McGuire. 6 classes. 100% scholarship recipients pay $10.
TESTIMONIALS:"From my perspective, I've gained more enriching interactions with my kid, applying OWL and other approaches mentioned in class. It's been a learning curve, but I can see the application of the suggestions in class paying off. My kid loves the class, and is making progress in his speech. Emily is a great teacher to all the kids."
"Jump into speech was so fun! I learned so much as a parent - Emily is amazing! My child is incredibly shy and Emily had such a way of helping them open up and interact. Very impressive."
