January 23 - Learning to Talk: The Development of Speech-Language Skills in Children
One of the most important milestones for young children is the development of speech and language. Childcare professionals can support the development of these language skills through meaningful interactions and engagement with children. This workshop will help participants learn about communication behaviors and how to recognize communication milestones, explore ways to facilitate the development of speech and language skills and discuss concerns in speech-language development.
Extension Extras for Professionals is a collection of free online workshops that provide professional development, guidance, and support for early childhood professionals and caregivers. Trainings are eligible for MIRegistry hours.
Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.
Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.
If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
