It Takes Two to Talk is a family-focused program that gives parents or other caregivers of children with language delays in the 2 to 7 year range, practical tools to help their child communicate. The program s philosophy is that because parents and other family members are the most important people in the child s life, they are the best people to help their child learn to communicate.
What Family Members learn in the It Takes Two to Talk Program

what motivates your child to communicate
how to engage your child in back and forth conversations, even before s/he can talk
