Hello! My name is Bryant and my wife Meghan and I have a 19 month old son named Benjamin. He says about 7 words, some on his own and some when prompted, a couple of animal sounds, and many signs. He is behind the recommended word count for his age and we are concerned about him falling further behind as he gets older. His receptive language is great and understands everything, but we struggle to get him to use expressive language and repeat words. We do have him in speech therapy for about 6 weeks now, just seeing little progress.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here 🤍 I’m Sam, a speech-language pathologist with 10 years of experience, and a toddler mom. I created this space to help you feel more confident supporting your child’s communication in everyday life. Here’s how to get started: STEP 1: Introduce yourself Comment below with: – Your child’s age – Whether they’re using words yet (yes / not yet / a few) – One thing you’re concerned about I’ll reply and help point you in the right direction. STEP 2: Start simpleYou don’t need to do everything at once. Look through the posts (weekly challenges are often a good place to start) and start with ONE strategy you can try today. Small, consistent changes make the biggest difference. STEP 3: Use everyday routines You don’t need extra time or special materials. The best opportunities are already in your day: – Mealtime – Bath time – Play – Reading STEP 4: Ask questions + share winsThis is not a space to just scroll. Ask questions, share what you’re trying, and celebrate even small progress. FREE COMMUNITY Here you’ll get: – Tips and strategies – Short trainings – Support and guidance CLASSROOM MEMBERSHIP Inside the classroom, you’ll get: – Step-by-step courses (what to do + when) – Videos showing exactly how to use strategies – Routine-based guides (mealtime, bath, play, etc.) – Monthly live calls for support + Q&A If you’re feeling stuck or want a clear plan, that’s where to go deeper. Thanks for being here. 🤍 Sam Licensed SLP & Mom
