How to Encourage a Toddler to Talk: Training for Toddler Teachers

Get Your Toddlers Talking or Talking More: 10 Tips from a Pediatric Speech Therapist

When some toddlers aren’t talking yet and others are talking nonstop, it’s easy to feel unsure of what's typical or who needs extra support.
Take the guesswork out of language development with 10 simple strategies that’ll help your toddlers use words, phrases, and sentences so they can communicate their wants and needs.
In this self-paced video training, you’ll learn:
  1. What toddlers should understand and say at each stage in development (12–36 months).
  2. What actually helps toddlers talk or talk more (Hint: It’s not “Use your words”)
  3. To use simple strategies during play, meals, and transitions — no special talk time needed.

Get the guidance you need but rarely receive with strategies straight from a pediatric speech language pathologist.

I liked the supplemental videos that were included to further demonstrate the strategies used."

Hi, I'm Kelly
A licensed Speech Language Pathologist, Early Intervention Specialist, Child Care Trainer, and Former Family Child Care Owner

I work alongside teachers every day caring for children with developmental delays, feeding challenges, speech and language disorders, and more.

I kept hearing the same thing: "Our trainings don't teach us this." So I created trainings that do! 

No fluff. Just practical strategies designed to fit naturally into everyday routines with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers
