Speech Sounds, Made Simple - Parent Workshop

WHY THIS WORKSHOP DELIVERS RESULTS

You’ll learn the actual developmental pathway for speech sounds, what’s expected at each age, and how to recognise the signs that a child may need targeted support.

Our senior Speech Pathologists will give you clear examples, real client insights, and practical strategies you can use immediately. You don’t need special training, materials, or long therapy sessions just the right knowledge.

IN 90 MINUTES, YOU WILL LEARN:

✔ What speech sound development looks like from toddlerhood to primary school

✔ When to monitor, when to take action, and what is not “just a phase”

✔ Why some children struggle with clarity, even if they talk a lot

✔ How speech sounds connect to early literacy, spelling and classroom success

✔ Simple, effective strategies you can use during play and everyday routines

✔ How to reduce frustration, support confidence, and encourage clearer communication

Many parents feel unsure:

• “Is this typical for their age?”

• “Will they grow out of it?”

• “Is this affecting school or friendships?”

• “Is it behaviour, attention… or a speech difficulty?”

We remove the guesswork. You’ll know exactly what’s typical, what’s expected, and what’s worth checking.
