All resources are research-based, clearly written, and professionally designed. We recommended sharing these resources with parents of children who may not qualify for speech-language therapy or families who are new to your early intervention caseload. These materials are appropriate for all children - both those who are typically developing as well as those with a speech or language delay. Straightforward descriptions and clear examples make the strategies easy for parents to understand and implement right away. This product will be your go-to supplement to teletherapy sessions and/or parent coaching. All pages are provided in full color as well as a low-ink black and white version.

Resources may be shared electronically with your caseload (via email or posted on a password-protected site). Please follow the TPT terms of service and share this product with your caseload only - Professionals need to purchase separate licenses.
