Starting Early: Math Talk Boosts Executive Functioning

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

Children with hearing loss need intentional work to develop executive functioning. One way to boost executive functioning skills is to deliberately integrate the language of pre-number concepts into routines of daily living. Start “Math Talk” in infancy! This presentation will discuss why and how, and will introduce a new resource.

During this session participants will:

Explain why parents should intentionally familiarize their young children with pre-number and number concepts beginning in infancy.
Describe how the language of math can be sprinkled into routine daily activities to teach pre-number and number concepts to very young children.
Discuss how the language of math can boost executive functioning in the child.
