Supporting your baby's language development

Language development begins at birth. Babies learn language through everyday interactions -- hearing you talk, sing, and read to them. Responsive back-and-forth conversation is the most powerful tool for building language skills.

If you have any concerns about your child's language development, early intervention can make a significant difference. Talk to your pediatrician, who can refer you to a speech-language pathologist if needed.
