Rich Environment For Language Development.

Some children may have developmental delays, autism, or other conditions that affect their language and communication. They may have individualized plans to help meet their goals. Care providers should use various methods to communicate with children depending on their needs, such as visuals, speaking more clearly, checking for understanding, or assistive technology. The language environment a child develops in, including interactions with caregivers, influences their language development. Exposure to complex grammar and vocabulary from an early age helps children acquire language more quickly.

Some children in your care may have conditions that affect their language and

communication development, including developmental delays, autism, neurological and

perceptual disorders, or vision, hearing, speech, or language impairments. Children with

individualized family service plans or individualized education plans have a specific plan to

help them meet their personal goals, and very often these children will need changes or

adaptations to daily routines, their care environment, and curriculum.

Use different ways to communicate information with children. For example, visuals like

picture schedules or photos showing steps of hand washing provide children with a sense of

predictability, and they provide opportunities for interactions with print.Other children may

need different supports. For children with hearing impairments, you may have to adjust the

speed or sound of your voice, speaking more clearly or at a slower pace. You may also have

to check more often to see if children understood what you said. Children with visual

impairments may use Braille, large print, or oversized picture books. Other children may

require the use of assistive technology. This may include communication devices that enable

them to explore their surroundings and interact with others.

The environment a child develops in has influences on language development. The

environment provides language input for the child to process. Speech by adults to children

help provide the child with correct language usage repetitively. Environmental influences on

language development are explored in the tradition of social interactionist theory by such

researchers who laid the foundations of this approach in the 1970s, emphasized that adult
"scaffolding" of the child's attempts to master linguistic communication is an important factor

in the developmental process.

Throughout existing research, it is concluded that children exposed to extensive vocabulary

and complex grammatical structures more quickly develop language and also have a more

accurate syntax than children raised in environments without complex grammar exposed to

them.  With motherese, the mother talks to the child and responds back to the child, whether

it be a babble the child made or a short sentence. While doing this, the adult prompts the child

to continue communicating, which may help a child develop language sooner than children

raised in environments where communication is not fostered.

Child-directed speech also catches the child's attention, and in situations where words for

new objects are being expressed to the child, this form of speech may help the child

recognize the speech cues and the new information provided. Data shows that children raised

in highly verbal families had higher language scores than those children raised in low verbal

families. Continuously hearing complicated sentences throughout language development

increases the child's ability to understand these sentences and then to use complicated

sentences as they develop. Studies have shown that learners enrolled in high language

classrooms have two times the growth in complex sentences usage than learners in

classrooms where teachers do not frequently use complex sentences.

Intentionality also aid. Intentional providers purposefully select and use appropriate language

and literacy with children. This means that during your planning—and considering children’s

needs—you make decisions about words or sounds to use; new vocabulary to introduce; ways

to describe events, materials, or feelings; and how to adapt activities and experiences to

address the special learning needs of children in your program.
