Toddlers With Special Needs Learn To Read With Love And Learning
Recommended by speech professionals and parents, Love And Learning is an innovative technique for teaching language and reading to children age birth to three with special needs. Published in newsletters from the US to Canada to Europe, Love And Learning is making a difference in the lives of children all over the world.
(PRWEB) December 9, 2004 -- Love And Learning Co. is celebrating twenty years
of teaching language and reading skills to children with special needs.
Developed by Joe and Susan Kotlinski for their own daughter, Maria, their
technique combines the use of audio tapes, videos, books and computer programs.
Maria exceeded all expectations by being able to speak, read and understand 250
words at 3 years of age and over 1,000 words at 5 years of age.

Roland writes: "At 18 months my beautiful little boy with Down Syndrome could
recognizes over a dozen words thanks to Love And Learning. At 2 1/2 years he
could read all 500 words in the six kits. We are so proud of Jamie and we have
told all our friends with children about your technique. Jamie's speech
therapist is convinced that the children who view your tapes have a much broader
vocabulary."
What makes Love And Learning materials unique is the way
letters/words are clearly presented to help children focus their attention.
There are 3 parts to each learning kit. An audio tape works on vocalization and
is played at naptime, bedtime or playtime and lets the child hear the words
spoken in a clear, slow manner. A video tape/DVD repeats the same words visually
and phonetically, again in a clear, focused presentation. Special books clearly
present the same letters/words and, when used for just a few minutes each day,
reinforce the audio and video tapes/DVDs as well as provide a special time for
parent and child to read together. Included on each video is a presentation
explaining
how to use this technique to best meet a child’s individual
needs.
Love And Learning presented at the 1997 NADS conference in
Chicago. In addition, Love And Learning has been published in the Down Syndrome
News of the European Down Syndrome Association/Down Syndrome International and
the Canadian Down Syndrome Society. These and additional articles are available
