Daily exposure to verbal and written language provides infants and toddlers with the opportunities to begin acquiring a basic understanding of the concepts of oral language and communication. Through play; children learn to create meaning from language and communicate with others using verbal and non-verbal language; pictures; symbols; and emergent literacy skills. In this four hour session; participants will actively explore the Language Development and Communication Domain from the Infant and Toddler Developmental Guidelines (ITDG).
