It Takes Two To Talk®
Expressive Connections' Hanen certified speech-language pathologists offer the It Takes Two to Talk Program ® , which is designed for parents of young children (birth to 5 years of age) who have been identified as having a language delay.
In a small, personalized group setting, we teach parents practical strategies to help their children learn language naturally by showing you, step-by-step, how to become your child’s most important language teacher.
It Takes Two to Talk ® incorporates early intervention research in the use of concrete strategies that are easy for parents to understand and put into practice. Throughout the program, you will have many opportunities to practice and discuss each strategy you learn with a speech-language pathologist so that you’ll be comfortable and confident using them at home to improve your child's language development. Through our program, you’ll discover simple things you can do during everyday activities like meal time, car rides, story time and bath time to create enjoyable learning opportunities for your child.
