Baby Jaela Cooing!

Cooing is vowel like sounds.Check out my baby Jaela cooing.

Open mouth vowel sounds such as "aah" are usually the first to be produced because no rounding of the lips is needed.When producing open vowel sounds, the tongue is near  to the bottom teeth.Closed vowel sounds typically follow and these sounds are  "ee" and "oo" and in close vowel sounds, tongue position is near the roof of the mouth. It is encouraged when babies coo,we should repeat the sounds they make and give them time to respond thru facial expression or they repeat the sound you make.


On the other hand, I learned from our speech therapist this month,May, is Better Hearing and Speech Month.  As Early Intervention is becoming more transdiciplinary, it would always be our advantage to know what other disciplines are doing and incorporate in our own management so that a true transdisciplinary approach is accomplished...Till then..Have a great weekend.
