LENA Start

LENA Start is a program designed to support early childhood language development. It provides families with a small, device that records the amount and quality of speech a child hears and produces over a week. This data helps parents and caregivers understand how much spoken language the child is exposed to and identifies areas for improvement. Using personalized feedback, coaching, and resources, LENA Start aims to enhance interactive communication, which is crucial for language, cognitive, and social development in young children. The goal is to foster a stimulating language-rich environment to support healthy growth.
