The Listening Roadmap was created to take the guesswork out of early speech and language development.

Created by speech-language pathologist Lois Kam Heymann, M.A., CCC-SLP, The Listening Roadmap is a research-informed guide that helps parents understand and support the early listening skills that form the foundation for speech and language.

Before babies talk, they learn to listen. This roadmap walks you through the early listening skills that support communication—breaking them down into simple, easy-to-understand steps you can use in everyday life.

Inside, you’ll find practical strategies and clear milestones so you can feel confident supporting your child’s development from the very beginning
