Adoption of an infant or toddler is an exciting and much anticipated event for any family. One concern all new
adoptive parents have is where their child is developmentally, and how they can encourage them in their new environment.
LENA can help.
LENA is the only automatic language collection and analysis tool for parents and children.
It allows you to:
- Easily monitor and measure your child’s language environment.
- Track the number of adult words and conversational turns with your child by hour, day, and month.
- Analyze your child’s language developmental age compared to his or her chronological age.
- Enjoy peace of mind about your child’s transition and language development.
Delays in speech and language development are the most common delays presented
in adopted babies and toddlers. But with the LENA System™ you can overcome these delays and improve your child’s
language development by providing a rich language environment – as proven by research, about 17,000 words per day
and 600 Conversational Turns.
The LENA System not only provides an in-depth look into your child’s
natural language environment, it also has the Developmental Snapshot feature, allowing parents to compare their child’s
developmental age with other children of the same chronological age.
The LENA Reports give you solid data about the number of words spoken
to your child, the number of interactions the two of you have and a look at the quality of your child’s audio environment.
With LENA, new parents are able to focus on ensuring their child is being given every advantage for a bright academic future.
Don’t ‘wait and see’ – take action. Early detection and intervention
has been shown to increase the ability to excel later in life.
Provide the best possible advantage for children: with LENA.
