Several months ago I put out a brand new resource into the world for SLP Early Intervention and speech therapy for toddlers. Today I wanted to take you on a personal tour of this handbook and tell you all about what’s inside!
Here’s the story behind Communicate & Connect, a guide for early intervention and speech therapy.
This SLP Early Intervention handbook is perfect for your early intervention speech and language caseload! Backed by research, each topic includes handouts that can be used as a quick reference for SLPs or printed handouts to be shared with parents and caregivers!
This includes information & milestones on a variety of developmental subjects, including:

You'll also gain access to FREE resources you can immediately use with your caseload: communication core boards, visuals for: language expansion, making request, asking questions, answering questions, and using descriptions. Additionally, you get printable handouts to encourage language and communication carry-over.
