Successfully increase the communication and interactions of young children and simultaneously reduce frustration. These routines-based early intervention activities contain parent strategies, instructions for signed communication, and developmental norms, all of which are in English and Spanish!

Parents love the progress their children make with the easy to follow instructions for labeling items and actions, modeling phrases, imitating sounds, and expressing preferences.
