“Late talkers” make up 15% of the toddler population. The language characteristics of the late talkers are not reflective of typical language development in the areas of word learning, phonology, morphology/syntax, and social skills. Dr. Michelle MacRoy-Higgins discusses why early intervention is important to provide speech and language services to late talkers.
We plan on running social skills groups (2-4 children per group) this summer for children of all ages: Tuesdays between 1-4pm; each group lasts approximately 1 hour. Your child’s social skills will be screened beforehand and we build groups based on the child’s needs. We are happy to run the group in your home!

I pulled over and got into the back seat of the car with my 4-year old daughter.
?What do you mean?? I desperately asked her, trying to conceal the panic in my voice . . .
My poor girl, a fan of the Star Wars films, found herself in the nether-region of such ?gender play? and was effectively banished by both Han Solo and Sleeping Beauty.
