PORA! 26.11 Forum-Discussion Parent-child interaction. A day full of opportunities

by

We would like to invite you to the  PORA! Forum-Discussion on November 26 with specialists from Spain and Portugal.
Main reason parents decide to go with implants for their child is a development & use of child’s speech & hearing. At the last meeting, we discussed the role and models of parents-child interaction, five simple but important steps – Brain-Building SERVE & RETURN and how to improve the quality of communication, as well as to increase the child’s active vocabulary.

When parents learn to talk more they will tend to talk in different ways…
…and say more positive things.
