Before the First Word: Understanding Baby’s Early Communication

Auggie’s Auggie's Back to School Giveaway is happening!

Date: Wednesday, August 12th
Time: 11:00 AM EDT
Duration: 45 min

About this event:

Long before babies say their first word, they’re already communicating in meaningful ways. From eye contact and gestures to babbling, facial expressions, and shared attention, the first year is filled with important milestones that lay the foundation for language, learning, and connection. Knowing what these early communication signs look like can help parents feel more confident and recognize when development is progressing as expected.

In this informative session, pediatric speech-language pathologist Chelsey Kotler will guide parents through the communication milestones that matter most during the first 12 months. She’ll explain which early skills often go unnoticed, how they support future language development, and which signs may indicate a child could benefit from additional support.

Parents will leave with a clear understanding of what to watch for throughout infancy, which behaviors are reassuring, and when it’s time to ask questions or seek an evaluation. Whether you’re a first-time parent or simply looking to better understand your baby’s development, this session will help you feel prepared, informed, and confident well before the 12-month checkup.
