Before children say their first words, they develop essential prelinguistic skills that form the foundation of communication. From eye contact to turn-taking, these early interactions shape how children connect, respond, and express themselves. Understanding and supporting these skills early can make a lasting difference in a child’s communication journey.

Declarative language shifts communication from instruction to connection. Learn how this simple approach supports children’s thinking, confidence, and natural communication development at Total Communication.

Some children struggle with reading not due to effort, but because they lack the underlying skills needed to process language. Through the Seeing Stars® programme, children develop symbol imagery and phonological awareness, helping them read, spell, and understand with greater accuracy and confidence.
