  1. How to Play with Your Baby to Encourage Speech and Language Development Continuing on our series “5 Ways to Play with Your Baby at Each Stage from 0-12 Months” are our fantastic Speech Therapists Kristen Eng, SLPA and Karen Adkins, MS, CCC-SLP sharing their ideas to encourage speech and language development through play. 0-3 months 1. In this time, your child will start “cooing.” Encourage them to make sounds by responding to this “coo” as if they are talking to you. Talk back to them in a simple, song-like tone, including a higher pitch, stretched out speech, and simple words. 2. Sing to your child. A familiar song can create comfort. As your child begins to recognize your voice, this can help with times you cannot physically hold the child, such as in the car. 3. Show your child books and toys with bright colors and simple pictures and watch how the child will listen and respond to your voice and sound. Your child will begin to attend to the speaker’s face when spoken to during this time. 4. Make up rhymes and make silly faces, these opportunities for imitation are always important. 5.
