Description
Wouldn’t it be amazing to help your child build their speech and language skills without the frustrations?
In this course I’ll show you the skills you need to best support your child’s speech and language development, simply and easily, at home!
If:
You feel helpless when your child is struggling to communicate.
You feel concerned that your child's first words are slow to come.
You feel frustrated with the behaviour challenges and power struggles that are impacting everyday life.
You are wondering what you can do to help your child communicate more effectively.
then this course was made for you!
After working with hundreds of families (and having children of my own), I realized that so many people asked the same question! They asked “what can I do at home to help my child communicate?”
So I decided that there needed to be more credible information out there to support parents and caregivers. I put my tried and true techniques into action. I spent years working on it before developing this amazing course to share with all of you.
In this course you will learn:
Foundations of language
How to use joint attention, turn-taking, gestures, play to promote speech and language development
Tips and strategies on using your most powerful tool...YOU
You will get access to:
8 modules with video lectures

Hi, I’m Danielle Dureault and I am a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist in Alberta, Canada with over 20 years of experience in a variety of pediatric settings (public, private, hospital, schools, home-based). My passion is to support children and their families to develop the best possible communication skills through connection and play. Over the course of my practice, I have noticed that services are decreasing and parents have less access to support. That has led me to create Play with Words Speech and Language Services and to begin expanding to online courses that are accessible to all. I’d love to connect with you and support you and your child’s journey to effective communication.
