SUMMARY:Cancelled - Early Years Language Development: Providing Language
 Rich Environments for Young Children\, session 1
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\nEarly language development plays a critical role in
 supporting children’s overall development. How young children develop and
 understand language is a complex topic and is one of the key developmental
 milestones of early childhood. Language allows children to identify and
 communicate feelings\, needs and emotions to others. Learning to
 understand\, use and enjoy language is the critical first step in
 literacy\, and the basis for learning to read and write.\n\nSession 1:
 Understanding how young children learn skills to communicate and form
 language is essential to supporting their development and future language
 learning skills\n\nStephi West\, Speech Pathologist will address key areas
 in early language development including:\n\n 	engaging children with
 language from birth to develop strong literacy skills and to further
 develop knowledge of early literacy and language development\n
 	parent/family engagement to develop ways to effectively support their
 child’s language development\n 	recommended resources for children\,
 educators\, parents and primary carers.\n\nStephi West has significant
 experience in the education sector specialising in supporting students with
 additional needs including autism spectrum disorders\, global developmental
 delay\, syndrome disorders and other intellectual disabilities. Her
 approach is based on practical\, everyday integration of core communication
 skills\, as well as involving the environment and relationships to build
 functional language\, vocabulary and interaction. Stephi has extensive
 experience in the areas of language development\, behaviour support\,
 foundational skills of communication\, alternative communication strategies
 and combines the theories of well-known methods (including Intensive
 interaction\, Floortime\, Zones of Regulation\, SOS Approach to Feeding and
 Circle of Security) to create an individualised ‘toolbox’ approach.
 Stephi currently works in an education facility for students with
 intellectual and multiple disabilities and at Psychology SA as a private
 clinician.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nTarget Group \n\nEarly Childhood Leaders and
