FAQs

  • Bonding and social awareness begin at birth. Talking and singing with your child from the beginning exposes them to not only your voice but also to words.

  • The quality of your voice does not affect a child's ability to learn through song. The power of music combined with a familiar voice supports bonding and increases the opportunity for learning through patterns.

  • Nope! When teaching basic signs, you reinforce the sign by simultaneously saying the verbal word. Also, the majority of people around them are likely using verbal language, therefore, they will eventually transition away from signs and primarily use verbal language.

  • First words develop between 8-14 months. Typically, the sentence length should match the child's chronological age. You can expect a one-year-old to talk in 1-2 word phrases, two-year-olds to use 2-3 word phrases, etc.

  • Music has several elements that support language development including exposure to words. It is highly patterned, which increases a child's ability to predict and plan for when to use words. Singing can promote a child's attention and therefore, their ability to retain information. Singing with your child during bedtime or other routines can also strengthen your bond.

  • Yes, the strategies and tools can be effective for any developing child. However, their rate of progress may be faster or slower based on diagnosis. We recommend that you consult your child's pediatrician for any additional therapies or resources.

  • Yes, you can revisit or retake the course anytime! You’ll be able to take the course, keep the resources, reference them as needed, and even retake the course when you have another child and need a refresher.
