270 Tracie Rieder: Using Signs As A Bridge To Speaking

Hey Friends~  Your child hears you say something... but did they actually get the message?  Sometimes communication breaks down because children can't fully access language. It may be hearing loss, difficulty processing information, speech delays, or simply not yet having the words they need. In today's episode in the series When Communication is Hard, we're exploring how access impacts communication and why one surprisingly powerful tool—sign language—can help many children, not just those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Join me and special guest Tracie as we talk about reducing frustration, building connection, and giving children more ways to communicate. Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com WEBSITE:  https://www.thelanguageofplay.com/ Have a QUESTION or COMMENT?
