Early Intervention

Recently, I read that it takes 4 times longer to work on language skills with a 4th grader than when working with a preschooler!

"According to research, learning and development are at their highest rate in the preschool years. Early intervention is forward looking, even into adulthood.  It has been shown that Early Intervention therapies do far more than provide for immediate benefits during the developmental years.  They significantly increase the child’s ability to integrate in future social environments, including school, community, and ultimately employment."

With that being said, many of our staff who work in preschool centers, and daycare need some additional information and support on how to incorporate language in everday situations. Many preschool teachers want to work on letters, letter sounds and even sight words! No!!! Start with those early concepts (in, on, under, beside, etc.), vocabulary (naming items, their category names, and describing how items are associated),  following directions, reading and MOST IMPORTANTLY- FREE PLAY!!! Just let them play! :)



I have made an Early Intervention Pack for staff who work kids- you can check it out here!
