LANGUAGE TOOLKIT D/HH INFANT & TODDLER STRATEGIES
“The most important factor in children's language development is the quality and quantity of the language they hear from their caregivers and in their environments.”
- Catherine Snow, Harvard Graduate School of Education Professor and Researcher

This toolkit was originally developed by Rebecca 
Tucker with Parent Infant Network for Educational 
Services (PINES) Early Hearing Detection and 
Intervention (EHDI) in Georgia. It is shared here with 
permission and in partnership with Illinois EHDI and Illinois Hands & Voices.

Illinois EHDI and Illinois Hands & Voices have adapted and translated this toolkit into multiple languages to increase accessibility for families and professionals. The translated versions are shared with the permission of the original author.
