As a parent or caregiver, it is easy to question whether your child is on track developmentally for speech and language.
It is not fun to be unsure, so don't " wait and see!" Get access to speech and language development resources and strategies TODAY!
Check out this episode and get started with Club Small Talk!
At Small Talk, we are speech language pathologists with extensive experience in childhood development. We strive to empower and educate caregivers to provide a language enriching environment in their own home. We provide individual home-based speech services and playgroups, using a child-led and play based model for all of our therapy sessions! We use a neurodiversity affirming approach within our sessions with a strong focus on connection over compliance.
