Early Language Development

Early Language Development is a parent and caregiver handout book targeting early language stimulation strategies, designed for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to distribute to parents and caregivers of toddlers from birth through prekindergarten age.

Twenty-five informational and activity-based handouts give Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) a ready-to-distribute parent education resource for supporting early language development in the home environment.

Early Language Development provides 25 reproducible handouts that explain how parents and caregivers can stimulate language development in young children at home. Each handout is informational and activity-based, giving parents both background knowledge and practical strategies they can use in daily routines. The included printable CD-ROM allows clinicians to reproduce and distribute handouts as needed across their caseload.

Who is this early language book helpful for?

Early Language Development is designed to support early language stimulation for children from birth through prekindergarten age. Ideal for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) who work with toddlers on their caseload, and for parents and caregivers who want practical, evidence-based strategies for stimulating language development at home.

Why Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and parents love this book:

Having 25 print-ready parent handouts in a single resource reduces the time clinicians spend creating home program materials from scratch, and the reproducible format means the same resource can serve an entire caseload. The activity-based format gives parents clear, actionable strategies rather than abstract information, which supports more consistent implementation at home. Developed by Linda Mawhinney and Mary Scott McTeague.
