All About Language Development in Bristow, VA
Language development is more than first words and silly sounds. It’s the foundation for how children connect, express themselves, and make sense of their world. From babbling as babies to full-on storytelling as preschoolers, each stage of speech and language is a building block that shapes their social and academic journey.
So, what exactly is language development?
It’s the process through which children learn to understand and use words to communicate. This includes both receptive language (what they understand) and expressive language (what they say). It’s closely linked to other areas of growth like emotional regulation, problem-solving, and confidence.
And what is speech therapy?
It’s a highly personalized service provided by professionals like Madi, who work with children to support communication challenges—whether it’s trouble with articulation, limited vocabulary, or using alternative forms of communication like sign language or AAC (augmentative and alternative communication).
Madi Sunderland brings a warm, child-centered approach to every session, focusing on the whole child. She uses a total communication style, embracing verbal and nonverbal methods to help each child find their voice, however that may look.
We can’t wait to welcome Madi to our school community and give families a chance to learn, ask questions, and feel more confident supporting their child’s language journey.
Space is limited, so RSVP today! Let’s grow together, one word at a time.
