Schools and parents can work together to help early communicators feel confident and ready to learn.

Through play, children can explore, connect, and communicate in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. Adults can support this by modelling simple language and joining in using approaches like Intensive Interaction.

Using signs and visuals can also help children understand and express themselves more easily. With warm, consistent support, children can begin to engage, communicate, and take part in learning.
