Learning to Talk

Language development begins at birth. Your infant's crying, cooing, babbling all lead to the day she/he will say their first words. Dr. Pike will discuss language development during the first year and show you ways of interacting with your baby that will stimulate language growth.


Presented by Dr. Susan Pike who is a pediatic speech-language pathologist with certification from the American Speech-Hearing Language Association. Dr. Pike has recently published a book called Talk Me Into It: Preparing Children for School Success Through Language.
