Teacher Talk
Early childhood educators play an important role in early communication development. They provide enriched opportunities for children to learn along with peers. Educators can advance their skill set in this area through continuing education opportunities offered by S-LPs. This can help them to better identify when to refer parents to an S-LP for concerns related to stuttering, social communication, and speech and language development.
