Let's Get Talking!

A Comprehensive Guide to Expanding Your Toddler's Language like a Pro

Do you have concerns about your child's language development?

Why isn't my child talking like the other kids their age? Why are they so quiet? If you are asking yourself these questions, you are not alone! Whether you are currently working with a speech-language pathologist, considering a speech/language evaluation, or you are the parent of a child without speech and language issues but are looking for ways to enhance language development at home, this course will provide you with a step by step guide to improving your toddler's language like a pro.

This course includes short videos (approximately 7-15 minutes in length) including examples, activities, quizzes, and worksheets to teach you simple strategies that speech-language pathologists use in everyday clinical practice. I will review major speech and language milestones, describe reasons why language might not develop as expected, explain how to modify your child's environment to create opportunities for language learning, and teach you to implement strategies for language development in your daily routines and activities. After completing this course, you will be empowered to improve your child's speech and language in any setting!

Hi! I’m Dr. Caitlin Raaz. I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist and assistant professor at the University of Northern Colorado. Over the years, the most rewarding part of my job has been the relationships I’ve developed with children and their families. I work alongside families as a partner, and I believe the most effective way to enhance a child’s development is to make sure therapy techniques are being implemented in the home. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said to parents, “I am the expert in speech and language, but you are the expert on your child!”. And I truly believe that because of this, parents can take the lead on their child’s speech and language development. I also believe in open communication with parents. Therapy should be transparent. Parents should never have to wonder what we are doing or why. It is my drive to provide effective and efficient treatment through accessible parent education that lead to the creation of this course.
