Speech Delay: Not sure where to start?

One of the most common questions I hear from parents is: “Where should I start?”

There are so many strategies for building speech and language that it can feel overwhelming. The truth is, you don’t need to use everything at once.

To make this easier, I created a Start Here Communication Checklist based on the strategy roadmap I use when teaching parents how to support early communication.

The checklist helps you identify:

where your child might currently be in their communication development
which type of strategy may be most helpful to focus on first

*It's attached

A few important things to remember:

These strategies are not meant to be used one at a time or in isolation
Many of them work together and build on each other
The goal is simply to choose a helpful place to focus first

Inside the Classroom, I demonstrate each of these strategies step-by-step in the Strategy Video Library, including exactly:

what to say
how to use them during play
how to use them during everyday routines

If you want to see what these strategies actually look like, you can explore the classroom here:

Many parents start with:

Follow Their Lead
Verbal Routines
Pausing & Waiting

But wherever your child is starting from, there are strategies that can support them.

Hope this helps you feel a little more confident about where to begin 💛
