Did You Know……?

* Two children in every classroom has a developmental language disorder

* 50% of children with developmental language disorder are not identified by school-age and therefore do not get the support they need

* A child’s vocabulary upon entering school is a prime predictor of school success or failure

* A child’s oral language abilities as a toddler are related to their later reading abilities by school-age

* Approximately 5-8% of preschool children have language delays that continue through the school years

* 15%-20% of 2 year olds are delayed in their expressive language development

* The quality of interactions a child has with their parents matters more to a child’s language development than the number of words they hear

* 30% of children with speech disorders also have a reading disability

Parents are a child’s first, and most important teacher. The types of interactions children have with their parents during everyday activities and routines plays a fundamental role in how well they will develop language and literacy skills.
