A little bit of a late post, but we wanted to give a huge thank you to the Franklin Park Conservatory for hosting us at their Community Reading Day 📚

Literacy plays such an important role in cognitive and language development, which makes it a big focus for our lab. We love seeing our community value it too, and it was wonderful to meet so many families who are excited about supporting their children’s learning.

The Franklin Park Conservatory does incredible things for the community, and we’re thrilled to keep partnering with them. Be sure to check out their next Community Day on March 1st: Autism & Arts 🎨

If you’re interested in finding us at other events, you can catch us most weekends at the Upper Arlington Public Library or at the upcoming KidsLinked Baby & Kids Expo.

We hope to see you there!
