Measuring and Improving Our Most Vital Skills 

LENA’s programs for educators and caregivers focus on talking with a child not just to a child. By measuring these interactions and analyzing a child’s language environment, we’re able to explore how high-quality interactions can lead to improved language and social skills, two areas that are vital for a child’s long-term success. Our recent research is proving just how effective LENA can be in improving those skills.

In this white paper, you’ll learn:

• The relationship between a child’s early language environment and key developmental outcomes such as language and social-skills
• How LENA can be used to measure a child’s language environment
• How LENA Grow, a professional development program for early educators, can help improve children’s language and social skills
