Language Ladder Program
The Language Ladder Program is a comprehensive initiative aimed at fostering language and communication skills in young deaf children. It’s structured into two parts:
Language Ladder I:
For children aged 0-3 years, focusing on early language acquisition.
Language Ladder II:
For children aged 3-6 years, continuing language development.
The program’s goals are to:​
-
Provide language learning opportunities in natural settings.
-
Enable communication with family members.
-
Support cognitive development and emotional well-being.
-
Develop social skills.
The program emphasizes the importance of early intervention, as young minds are incredibly receptive to learning.
The program also offers training for parents in sign language, which is crucial for creating a supportive communication environment at home.
By encouraging activities like story reading, it aims to promote literacy from a very young age.
​
This approach aligns with research showing that early exposure to language and communication can significantly benefit deaf children’s overall development.
​
This program addresses the needs of deaf children and provides them with the tools to thrive.
