It Takes Two to Talk

 

The It Takes Two to Talk Program shows you how to use your natural, day-to-day life with your child to help them develop language skills. You’ll discover simple things you can do during everyday activities like meal time, story time and bath time to create enjoyable learning opportunities for your child.

​​

​

​

The strategies you learn in It Takes Two to Talk will become such a natural part of the way you interact with your child that you'll be using them long after the program is over without even noticing. In this way, the many benefits of It Takes Two to Talk will continue for years to come

More Than Words

 

If you have a young autistic child or you are worried about your child's social communication, you may be wondering what you can do to make communication easier and more enjoyable for them. You may want to help them connect more easily with others, have more fun during interactions, or experience less frustration.

​

​

The strategies you learn in More Than Words are child-centered, meaning they make the most of your child’s unique interests, strengths and preferences, as well as their everyday routines and interactions. In this way, your child expands their social communication skills in the natural context of the things, people and topics that matter to them, making the learning meaningful, ongoing and fun.
