From Sentences to Conversation: Enriching Conversation in Preschoolers will cover: Using your child’s curiosity so they become a competent communicator, telling stories, having discussions and developing reasoning, as well as the importance of pretending and playing with friends in the development of conversation and reasoning.

During the numerous years she worked as the Community Educator for the York Region Preschool Speech and Language Program, she touched the lives of hundreds of children through her work with their caregivers.
