Infants are powerful communicators, even from their earliest days of life. As they develop their language skills, they use sound signals, gestures, and words to express their needs, interests, and joyful discovered. When caregivers attend to and respond to infants' communications in play and routines, they are encouraging practice in using and understanding language.

This session is part of the Infant/Toddler Environments: Learning & Development Series.

The four sessions (Course #) are:
(9.921A) Discoveries of Infancy
(9.921B) Supporting Early Learning Interests
(9.921C) Early Language and Communication
(9.921D) Communication-Friendly Programs
