If your child is delayed in speech, but they love music and you are ready to get them talking, then First Words: A Guide for Parents of Kids with Speech Delays is the perfect tool to empower you. You will discover the key strategies to use in tandem with the music, and you’ll learn how to do it all within the activities and routines you are already doing with your child every day.
The First Words Guide will enable you to use practical, powerful speech and language strategies to increase your child’s receptive and expressive language skills. Because parents are their children’s most influential communication partners, you are the perfect teacher to promote speech and language with your little one- even if they seem to be demonstrating a delay in talking. The First Words Guide will arm you with the knowledge and skills you need to feel confident about your ability to boost your child’s expressive and receptive language development.
You don't have to have a degree or a certificate to get your little one talking- just a willingness to learn. The First Words Guide pulls back the curtain on the methodology that makes the words in the songs so impactful for late talkers. In 16 pages, and in an easily readable format, the First Words Guide empowers the parents and caregivers of children with speech delays with evidence-based language strategies that can be used immediately for major results.
If you suspect your little one is showing signs of a delay in speech, or even if they’ve been formally diagnosed with a speech delay, the strategies in the First Words Guide will help.
No flashcards, no drills- just meaningful, practical techniques that you can extend from the songs to use throughout your play, meals/snacks, trips to the park, and bathtime/dressing routines.
"As a speech language pathologist who has been working with young children for 13 years, I am absolutely behind the strategies in this guide- especially when using them together with the First Words Dance Party songs. This guide is so parent friendly, and the strategies are easy to use in day to day routines. These are the steps that are most important to get a child talking. I am excited to see the changes this will make in so many little ones' lives!"
