Incorporating Language into Daily Tasks

Are you a caregiver wondering how to boost your toddler’s speech and language development?

Language can be developed through everyday tasks, such as bath time or grocery shopping. While in the store, label names and colors, and narrate what you are doing. For example, you could say, “I’m going to put these apples in a bag.” During bath time, use words like, “pop,” and “bubbles.” If you have questions or concerns about your toddler’s speech and language development, reach out to a speech therapist.
