LET’S TALK ABOUT CHILDREN’S SPEECH, LANGUAGE, & SOCIAL SKILLS

Hi and welcome! My name is Susan Diamond. I am a speech therapist who has a strong desire to share information. My thirst for knowledge on language development is never quenched. Therefore, I acquire and give strategies which help children succeed. Therapy has to be fun and interesting for children to make progress. The use of creative activities and games allow for such interactions. I truly love what I do!

This website provides knowledge in the areas of language development, speech and language disorders, and social skills. It gives pathways to further your understanding of the communication process. And, it allows you as a parent, teacher, and/or specialist to gain useful information on language tools needed for children to experience success.

Language development affects the way we learn, interact, and express ourselves in the world, so language is the key to a healthy, harmonious life. Without the ability to appropriately interact, we are lonely. Without the ability to understand what is being said, we are lost. Without the ability to express our thoughts, we are floundering in academics, social skills, and life.

This website was written to inspire language learning with children by using humor, compassion and love.  Please send me comments and questions about the materials I present on diamondlanguage.com and check back for new information!
