Connecticut faces significant challenges related to early language development, particularly as recent reports indicate that up to 20% of preschoolers exhibit delayed language skills. The state's demographic diversitywith a substantial proportion of bilingual and multilingual familiescomplicates the assessment of language skills and delays intervention strategies. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these issues, disrupting early childhood education and increasing the urgency for effective monitoring and support systems targeted toward language development.
