WHAT TO EXPECT AT A COMMUNICATION EVALUATION AND “FAREWELL”
Welcome to our final podcast on speech and language development. In this podcast, we will walk you through what to expect if you take your child for a communication evaluation and some of the terms you might hear. We are reflecting the experience in our geographic area and with the governmental supports that are here. Your experience may be somewhat different in those aspects but the process should be very similar.

ACTIVITIES FOR 3 YEAR OLDS
Welcome to our podcast on Activities for 3 Year Olds. Three-year-olds are really interesting people. They are becoming less dependent on the adults in their lives. They love to explore, play with other children, and are beginning to understand the power of language to help them navigate their worlds. We hope you find some activities in this podcast that will not only build your child’s language skills but will also encourage rich relationships between the members of your family.

COLOURS, LETTERS AND NUMBERS - OH MY!
Welcome to our podcast on colours, letters and numbers. When you wander through a typical toy store, you may see a sign that indicates toys for language development.

As we hope you will learn by the end of this podcast, for us these are not what we consider activities to build language.
