Who is it for?

This program is for parents of children with languge delays. Your child doesn’t speak, or speaks much less than you would expect based on their age. You are concerned about their language development.

What is it?

During the parent program you learn strategies that will help you help your child with their language development. You learn to adapt your own language and communication to better match your childs. In this way, your child can learn to understand the language and use the words and sentences they need.

You and your child will work together, because, as they say ‘It Takes Two to Talk’! You can also share stories and experiences with other parents during the group sessions.

This program is evidence based and is reccommended by Speech and Language therapists worldwide.

Practical Information

• 7 group sessions of 2h30min with other parents (without children)
