Discover how families and caregivers can play a vital role in their children's language growth while honoring their cultural heritage in this ILA Webinar with Mai Zaru. Zaru, the recipient of ILA’s 2023 Jeanne S.

Participants will gain tools and knowledge to help connect with families and support children's language skills while valuing their diverse backgrounds and experiences.
