| AKMC's “Feeling Fit in 2007” Health Expo at Pittsburgh Mills | Apollo, PA | | Alle-Kiski Medical Center (AKMC) is sponsoring a mall-wide health expo “Feeling Fit in 2007” on Saturday, April 21 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills. Read more | | | Helpful Insight for New Parents | Apollo, PA | "More and more research in the Early Childhood field is leading to encouraging young children to use sign language. Mikelle Yates Hafen, M.S. Early Intervention Specialist, is a counselor in St. George, Utah, and applies this knowledge to real-life situations.
"The more language or signs that a child can accumulate in the earliest years, the greater the vocabulary growth and verbal intellectual development later in life. Communication through sign seems to build connections in the brain. I have seen typically developing children and developmentally delayed children benefit through the use of early signs. Sign Language for Babies and Beyond is a great tool for any developmental specialist, parent, or caretaker to have."
One parent commented "When our son was 18 months old he had trouble saying words. We started teaching him signs and he was thrilled to be able to finally communicate with us! He communicated quite well in signs for an entire year before the floodgates opened with a rush of completely articulate words, sentences, and phrases! He is now in the first grade and reads two years above his grade level and is in the top of his class in math. I can’t put a price on how valuable these techniques have been with our family!!"
