Babies and Preschoolers

Developing spoken language through listening for a child who is deaf an exciting process for everyone involved. As a young child learns to listen and talk there is a great sense of anticipation for you, the parent or caregiver, as they embark on their journey, learning to communicate. This edition of Listen, Learn and Talk Parent Manual has been created as a guide to provide you and your family with critical information about using effective strategies on the exciting journey as you support your child to listen and speak.

This resource contains very practical information on the best way to communicate with your baby or toddler. The manual describes important communication strategies such as: taking turns, eye contact, following attention and adapting language. In addition, sheets with communication tips are included, which you could hang in your home as a reminder. Finally, you will also find some discussion sheets on communication and interaction in the pack with which you can challenge yourself.

The information pack has been developed primarily for parents but can also be useful for anyone involved in raising the baby or toddler: family, babysitters, childcare staff.

As parents, what opportunities do you have to communicate with your child throughout the day? As a professional, what are you currently doing on those first few visits with families of young deaf infants?
