Program Basis

TLC Loving Language group program is designed to encourage expressive language skills in preschool children through fun play, games and activites. Some children who are considered "quiet" by their carers need that extra professional "push" to help them improve their ability to express themselves better and clearer. At TLC, our speech and language therapist helps stimulate language in these children through fun and meaningful activities. We work on improving the child's vocabulary through rich sensory experience so they can pick up the skills more readily. Parents also learn through these programs how to encourage expressive language in their children.
