Sherry Artemenko, M.A., CCC-SLP, directs the only toy industry evaluation program (The Play Advances Language, “PAL,” Award) lead by a credentialed speech and language expert calling out the language learning edge in exceptional toys, like Gerd Hahn's Worry Eaters distributed in the US by the Haywire Group . Through their design, quality and character, such PAL winners can enable play that advances language. PAL selections, are based on Sherry Artemenko’s 35 years of child development experience and over 15,000 hours working with kids. Early language proficiency correlates with later school performance - reading, writing and critical thinking skills - and influences emotional, cognitive and social growth. From their first words to little sentences and storytelling, children progress in their ability to express feelings, successfully connect in social situations, solve problems, make good decisions and navigate life. Sherry is a big fan of the Worry Eaters, and we’re happy to share her language power and play insights with you!
