Student and Volunteer Success Stories

Hope has reached our home: a LiLaC Family Partner's story -One of our LiLaC children, *José, is the youngest child of four brothers; who turned three years old in October. In the beginning of 2020, his pediatrician recommended speech therapy. José had been attending the online sessions for months with little progress. However, after two and a half months with LiLaC, he connected with targeted play and materials, that are gateways to language; and burst into language! At his next session, the amazed therapist observed Jose now using many words correctly. She asked the mom what could be influencing such a significant change. In response, José's mom shared that they had become a LilaC family!

Our Family Partner had identified a need for inspiring
materials to stimulate language development in Spanish. Next, she created and delivered the materials to the family home. Lastly during her weekly zoom call, she modeled how to have fun using them with the mother. The little boy quickly became excited which encouraged his mom as she observed his enthusiasm!

José's mom is thrilled because her son is talking - and singing - not only in one language, but as a bilingual child, is using his spoken vocabulary in both English and Spanish! (*name changed for privacy)
