Building on, expanding and extending children’s language helps them develop more mature and complex communication abilities over time. Participants will understand how communication and language skills develop in the first 5 years of life, the brain’s role in the development of these skills and how to support them.

Training Objectives:

1. Participants will learn and understand communication milestones birth to 5 years old.

2. Participants will learn strategies for supporting early communication skills.

3. Participants will understand multi-language learning.

Each professional development session offered by The Children’s Cabinet utilizes a knowledge check to ensure that our participants understand our training objectives and our instructors are providing a comprehensive learning experience. You can expect to receive a three question quiz or test at the end of each training. If you have questions or concerns, or need additional information about this process, feel free to contact the Professional Development Training Coordinator at 775-856-6200.
