Communication skills
development for late talkers
Bebegarten recently launched
a Late Talkers Class that’s
ideal for children age two to
three years with developing
language. Working with their
UK trained Speech and
Language Therapist, children,
parents and caregivers will
have the opportunity to
develop crucial language
and social skills. The children may not be talking yet, or may be
just beginning to say some words. Games and activities in an
authentic play setting will be designed to increase the number
of words the child understands and uses. It is a fun and active
accompanied class which includes adult directed aspects as well
as child led activities. Email [email protected].
