6. LENA Start Session (3 min)
LENA Start’s guided sessions use an interactive, strengths-based approach to help form a foundation for lasting behavior change. During each session, families use weekly reports, group sharing feedback, and coordinator observations to reflect and set growth goals for the next LENA day.

The LENA Start curriculum comprises 10 weekly one-hour sessions. The first four “core content” weeks explain the importance of early talk and the basics of LENA Start. Weeks five through 10 focus on helping families increase talk during everyday situations and in specific environments.
