Parents are the BEST language facilitators! Marci Melzer, M.Ed-SLP @ WavesofCommunication.com helps parents and caregivers teach their late-talking kids how to shift communication behaviors into unprompted speech. Natural Language Facilitation is the one method that helps anyone see functional speech improvement no matter what is causing the child to be late talking. Parents around the world are seeing progress in multiple languages faster and easier than speech therapy. This podcast equips and empowers you to connect with the late talker and use easy, functional strategies that work.
