Here’s what I’d tell you:
Waiting for your toddler to “talk when they’re ready” is not a plan.
And one hour of speech therapy a week isn’t enough to make up for all the other hours in the week when your child could be learning and practicing communication.
That doesn’t mean speech therapy isn’t important.
It means what happens between therapy sessions matters too.
Your child has so many more opportunities to learn from YOU—during play, meals, books, bath time, getting dressed and everyday routines.
But you have to know what to do and how to do it.
That’s exactly why I created 5 Weeks to More Talking.
I’m going to show you step-by-step how to use simple materials and everyday interactions to build the foundational skills that can lead to more pointing, more sounds, more words and more talking.
So instead of waiting and hoping your child catches up, you can start doing something TODAY.
