We help caregivers learn how to increase interactive talk with children.
Interactive talk is one of the most important factors in children’s early brain development. The amount of conversation that children experience has been linked to the structure and function of their brain, as well as their IQ, vocabulary, and language skills in adolescence.
About
We are a public-private partnership of organizations working together to offer LENA Start classes in Central Wisconsin, in-person and virtually. These classes teach families how to use conversation to build babies’ brains.
