Early intervention is so critical when working with the brain as there is only a short window of time where learning new skills can be acclimated quickly. This is why young children are able to learn multiple languages so quickly and at ease. When children are very young, their brains are very plastic, and are constantly learning new things. When the brain takes in new information from surroundings and processes it, it creates new channels and pathways in the brain. What is Neuroplasticity? It is the brain’s ability to change – to rewire, relearn and strengthen important connections. ![]() The foundations of sound, hearing, and listening are laid down at a very young age, through the auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes auditory information.ĭue to the plasticity of the baby brain (neuroplasticity), it is critical to stimulate children’s auditory cortex by introducing them to language and sound especially in the first five years of life, when the brain is developing at the fastest speed. As recommended by speech therapists, listening and engaging with audiobooks and podcasts are fantastic language-rich activities.
