Early Communication

Early Communication

This page is part of the Speech and Language Therapy - Paediatric Community Services information

Learning to communicate is an exciting time and children learn so much through their play and everyday routines with you. During these times, children can practice responding to your messages and to communicate about important things such as wanting to be picked up, wanting a drink, letting you know when they have had enough or getting your attention.

Please see the drop down boxes below for information and activities to help develop your child's early communication skills. For printable versions of the information below go to the related documents section of this page
