TalkToddler teaches simple strategies speech therapists use to help toddlers start talking, catch up, and speak in sentences. It’s perfect for parents who are tired of waiting and worrying. And toddlers struggling to be understood!
When your toddler isn’t talking, things get confusing really quickly.
Your stress rises every time you meet a talkative child their age.
You worry that your child is behind. And you don’t know how to fix it.
You try talking to your friends with kids, but they don’t know how to help.
Well-meaning family members ask questions that make you feel bad.
Care providers tell you to “wait and see” until your child turns two.
Or, you get put on a waitlist and wait, and wait, and wait…
All the while, your parental instincts are growing louder and louder!
We promise we won't overwhelm you with theory! Instead, we get straight to the point and show you exactly how to do what we do. Just watch a short video and try it out next time you read, sing, or play with your toddler.
The tips we teach are based on speech therapy practices—but they fit into the things you already do each day. You and your toddler will have fun, connect, and play. And as a result, they'll learn to communicate more.
You don’t need to become a speech therapist to do this. We know you and your toddler will learn best while having fun. So we take a no-stress approach for you—and teach a no-pressure approach for them!
“I recently bought the TalkToddler course and Songs+Stories and have seen huge improvements with my twin boys! I have started using your tips and approaches based on what the course tells me to do and it really is working. I truly believe this course has helped my little one in just a week! I’m excited to see him and watch him blossom! Thank you!”
“I’ve learned and been able to apply a ton. The way the mini-lessons are presented, with the videos, are super compelling and easy to watch!”
“I’m already noticing within a week of a couple changes in how I communicate that she seems to be saying more things!”
“Katie and Carly are very hands-on and terrific teachers! I can’t say enough good things! Join! You won’t be sorry!”
As early intervention therapists, we know the simple strategies we teach in TalkToddler matter so much—especially during the first 3 years of life when our children’s brains are growing faster than they ever will again.
We also know that the most impactful strategies are things that any caregiver can do at home. And, we know that when more families implement these strategies, fewer kids need therapy—and those who still do often need less.
We created TalkToddler to make sure all parents have access to the strategies we know work as soon as they want them. Because we don’t want you to have to sit on a waiting list, “wait and see” when you’re worried, or wonder if what you’re doing is working.
We made this course for you, from start to finish! We took much of what we do as therapists and broke it down into the most actionable steps. You can do this!
It’s everything we’d teach if you were in our therapy rooms with us—and all the encouragement we’d give you, too. We think you’ll really love it.
We’d love to have your family join our TalkToddler family!
Align this course with your schedule and learning style. Videos, write-ups, and audio options give you tons of flexibility and make it easy to include your partner!
It’s okay to do a little, do a lot, start slow, or jump in. Just start with what your child needs most and advance when you can. Even a few minutes lead to big progress.
Make real progress by learning, doing, then reflecting as you go. We include tons of handouts to help you track your child’s progress and see how far you’ve both come.

TalkToddler teaches you to encourage communication by incorporating language into your normal routines. The course breaks down into 6 short but impactful modules:
What is communication and what’s typical between 12-36 months? In this module, we talk first words, number of words, and our roles in language development, as parents.
Learn how to help your toddler say more words and build their vocabulary. We teach you no-pressure ways to increase and improve toddler communication.
We’ll walk you through what’s typical as toddlers start combining words, and guide you through the process of going from words to toddler sentences.
Congrats! You now have the tools you need to empower your toddler and help them express their wants, needs, and ideas. Here’s how to make the most of them.
Understand what to do if they’re not talking yet and how to get them started. Then, learn what counts as a word, and how sign language fits in.
Dispel common myths and learn to start using signs to improve communication. Includes a practice session with Carly & Katie to make sure you feel confident!
Our step-by-step guidance meets your toddler where they’re at:
Start at the Pre-Talking module if your toddler is a later talker or hasn’t said their first words yet.
Start with the First Words module if your toddler says a few words, but you’d love to hear more!
Start with the Speaking in Sentences module if your toddler doesn’t yet combine words.
You want to help your child learn how to talk, but you have no idea where to start.

“I was getting worried because she did not talk as much as the other kids in our family around her age. Tweaking how we approached things has helped her communicate more confidently. We also ended up getting the Songs+Stories membership and our toddler LOVES it.”
