You and your Early Start or preschool teacher should discuss whether your child is meeting each of these milestones and is making age-appropriate language growth. Check off each milestone as your child meets it. Then, you can check off the milestones on the “road map” on the inside of this pamphlet, and watch as your child moves down the road towards being language-ready for Kindergarten at age five. Any time your child is not making age-appropriate language growth, it is important that you and your child’s teacher discuss what changes need to be made to your child’s program and services to help ensure your child is making the progress necessary to be ready for Kindergarten. It is important to make sure those service changes get written into your child’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or Individualized Educational Program (IEP) .  \nThe Language Milestones are not meant to replace formal assessment of your child’s development of language and literacy. Your observations of your child’s skills may be different than the results of formal assessments presented at your child’s IFSP or IEP, but your observations are very important. Please feel free to bring this Parent Profile to your child’s IFSP or IEP meeting, in order to share your observations about your child’s progress.  \nThe First Year  \nDuring their 1st year, babies are watching, learning, and soaking up the language around them. Even though babies don’t always speak or sign too much during this first year, babies are absorbing all those words you sign or say to them, so be sure to talk and sign to your baby all the time!  \n0–3 months  \n● Your baby looks around and is attentive to people’s faces.  \n● Your baby smiles when they see you.  \n● Your baby shows awareness of the environment.  \n● Your baby recognizes and responds to a person’s voice or to movement or light.  \n4–6 months  \n● Your baby begins to babble with hands and/or voice. Your baby may use babbling to get your attention.  \n● Your baby copies your movements involving arms, head, hands, and face.  \n● Your baby responds to changes in the tone of your voice and/or changes in your facial expressions.  \n● Your baby expresses feelings by cooing, gurgling, and crying when alone or when playing with you.  \n● Your baby looks at you or vocalizes when you sign or say their name.  \n7–12 months  \n● Your baby points to self and to things.  \n● Your baby imitates and expresses their first words or signs, such as mine, more, milk, mommy, daddy.  \n● Your baby makes onomatopoeia (sound) words such as choo choo, swish, and buzz.  \n● Your baby babbles with inflection/facial expressions similar to adults and tries to imitate turn-taking conversation.  \n● Your baby demonstrates joint attention (e.g. , parent and child look at the same object) .  \n● Your baby can tell what different facial expressions mean.  \n● Your baby uses gesture or vocalizations to protest and express emotions.  \n● Your baby responds to a request (e.g. , come here) .  \n● Your baby understands words for common items (e.g. , cup, shoe, juice) and family names.  \n● Your baby responds to the word,“no” most of the time.  \n● Your baby looks at people’s faces and at the environment attentively.  \n● Your baby turns their head and looks in response to sounds or attention-getting behaviors (e.g. , hand waving, lights on/off, foot stomping) .  \n● By 12 months of age, your baby has 1-3 signs and/or words.  \nOne–Two Years  \nBetween their 1st and 2nd birthdays, babies learn lots of words and start putting words together to make short sentences. Here are some things to watch for.  \nExpressive Language  \n● Your baby uses exclamatory expressions (e.g. , uh-oh, no-no) .  \n● Your baby repeats the last word used by an adult.  \n● Your baby communicates wants and needs through single words.  \n● Your baby uses signed or spoken names to refer to self and others.  \n● Your baby begi","cbCain0t5OziZmn4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain0t5OziZmn4","pdf",227757,"English","# The First Year\n## 0–3 months\n## 4–6 months\n## 7–12 months\n# One–Two Years\n## Expressive Language\n## Receptive Language\n## Vocabulary\n# Two–Three Years\n## Expressive Language","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Language Milestones Parent Profile?\",\"answer\":\"It helps parents track language growth by checking age-appropriate milestones and discussing progress with an early start or preschool teacher.\"},{\"question\":\"What should parents do if their child is not meeting language milestones?\",\"answer\":\"Parents should talk with the child’s teacher about changes needed to the child’s program and services, and ensure updates are written into the IFSP or IEP.\"},{\"question\":\"Do the milestones replace formal assessments?\",\"answer\":\"No. The milestones do not replace formal assessment of language and literacy development, but parent observations are important and can be shared during IFSP/IEP meetings.\"}]","Language Milestones - Parent Profile | PDF",1790649590]
