Language in the First Year of Life
Even before babies begin to sign or speak, their brains are actively laying the foundation for language. The first year of life is a critical period rich in language, cognitive, social, emotional, and motor development. This resource guides parents and providers month-by-month through a Deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) baby’s first year, highlighting what to expect and what to focus on along the way.
