BEHAVIORAL

LENA Home

LENA Home is a 13-week curriculum designed to add an early-language focus to existing home visiting or parent education programs for children ages birth to three. It employs LENA wearable audio recorder technology and targeted content to help parents and other caregivers increase interactive talk. There are 13 weekly one-on-one sessions, including modules on parent-child reading and increasing verbal interaction during typical home activities. Sessions include videos, practical techniques, and feedback from LENA recordings via intuitive reports to help parents talk more with their children. LENA Home reports provide data on adult words spoken to the child (AWC) and conversational turns (CTC). LENA Home has been shown to increase interactive talk and child language ability and informs parents how much they are talking with their children in an objective way.
