What Our Clients Say About Us

When my daughter started she was only saying about 10 words. Ever since working with Maria at Organic Speech Therapy, she is now putting together whole sentences on her own and I can't be more happy!

PGTT Parent

His language is absolutely exploding! We went to a new pediatrician today and she was amazing with how well my son spoke. He is starting to name body parts and is communicating so well!

PGTT Parent

I changed the way I talk to my child everyday and I am always aware of the situations where I can promote her language development. The whole communication between us has transformed!

The Parent’s Guide to Talkative Toddlers is a 90 day, virtual one-on-one program for parents of toddlers 13 months to 3 years old who feel their toddler seems to understand everything, but is not using words or as many words as they should for their age to communicate. 

This program may be a good fit for you if you’re ready for personalized support to help your toddler start talking up a storm and if your toddler:

  • May be a “late talker”

  • Uses grunts or sounds/gestures more than words to communicate

  • Has increasing tantrums and you feel they are communication related

 

The parents who have participated in this program have seen their toddler progress in half the amount of time as traditional, in person speech therapy because of its virtual nature and so much more. Watch the video below to see why we created this program and why early intervention is so important!
