​With every loving kiss, every snuggle, every word, and every lullaby, a baby begins to listen, talk and learn--from the day he or she is born.  Loving interactions are just as important on baby's 1st day, 50th day, or 365th day. 

In fact, the most valuable time for baby to establish the foundation for learning is from birth to three years of age.  Of course children learn and learn a lot after three.  But it is during the time from birth to  three that the brain is most ready to accept input.

Unfortunately, not all babies are born into a language-rich environment.  Some families are non-talkative people by nature, and really do very little talking with their babies.  For a variety of other reasons, some seem unable to immerse their child in the language of their home. 

And to be fair, some families may not realize how important loving, meaningful talk is to their baby's future.

Karen K Rossi is a trained teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing and a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist, Certified in Auditory Verbal Education (LSLS Cert AVEd.).   She has spent many years as an Early Intervention Specialist teaching children and their parents, learning how children learn to talk, and how parents can support this learning.  As a result, she created a routines-based program for Early Interventionists with the Learn To Talk Around The Clock, A Professional's Early Intervention Toolbox®--and it works!  However, Early Intervention Teachers need to learn how to help families, other teachers, and childcare providers practice routines with the children in their care.  Karen will help teachers understand how to help families and childcare providers practice to gradually incorporate appropriate listening and spoken language during routines, all day, every day.  The use of the "Toolbox" is appropriate for all children, whether with hearing challenges, language-learning challenges, or those from at-risk families.  Since the creation of the "Toolbox," Karen has added 4 more major learning programs to her product line:  Learn To Talk Around The Clock at Childcare©; I Promise To Be a Good Parent©;  Learn To Talk Around The Clock, Knowledge Cards©; ​and Talking Tips, A Series for Families, for Use by Physicians and other Professionals©.
