Late Talkers

Gentle Support for Children Who Are Late to Talk

Some kids speak later than expected—and that’s okay. With playful, evidence-based strategies, we help children grow from first sounds to first words, then to confident little sentences.

Play-Based Strategies That Spark Speech

In this program, we focus on building early communication skills through engaging, family-centered activities.

Early Words & Imitation

Eliciting first words, word approximations, and sound imitation in meaningful routines.

Gestures, Signs & AAC Supports

Using gestures, simple signs, or pictures to reduce frustration while speech emerges.

Parent Coaching

Practical, easy strategies you can use during meals, play, and daily routines.

Routines-Based Play

Songs, books, and pretend play that naturally invite more words.

Real Progress You’ll Hear and See

 

 

More Words, More Often

Growth in vocabulary and meaningful word use across the day.

Moving from single words to early phrases (e.g., “more juice,” “mama help”).
