If your toddler isn't talking much yet, you may have found yourself asking, “What's this?” — hoping to hear a word.But for many late talkers, that well-intentioned question quietly shuts things down.In this episode, Erin Hyer — speech-language pathologist with over 35 years of clinical and real-life experience — explains why asking for words too early can work against development, and what actually helps toddlers feel ready to communicate.You'll learn:Why silence doesn't mean your child won't talk — just that the foundations are still formingThe difference between 'testing' and participating in early communicationThe five key areas that support speech before words appearHow attention, imitation, play, daily rhythms, and nervous system regulation all shape language developmentThis episode isn't about doing more or pushing harder.It's about creating the conditions that make communication feel safe, comfortable, interesting, and worth the effort.

Send us a textIf you want your child to talk well — not just say more words — this episode will change the way you think about early communication.Because here's the truth:Talking doesn't just “show up” one day.It grows from the daily experiences underneath it — connection, play, movement, interaction, modeling, as well as sleep, nutrition, and healthy routines.Whether your baby is 6 months old and you want to stay ahead…or your toddler is already showing signs of delay…understanding what's happening underneath the words is one of the best gifts you can give your child.You've probably heard the common lines: “Boys talk later.” “Late talking runs in families.” “Give it time. She'll talk when she's ready.”But in 2025, it's much more nuanced than that — and simply assuming “it'll all work out” can keep kids stuck longer than they need to be.After 35 years in early intervention, Erin has seen hundreds of so-called “late talkers,” and here's what most parents (and many professionals) miss:

Anuja Katrak, speech-language pathologist and founder of SPARC, Mumbai, discusses language development in late talkers, the impact on the child's reading abilities, and the importance of seeking professional guidance. Anuja also addresses the quandary that parents in urban India face regarding the language of intervention: should they provide services in their mother tongue, the state language, or English, as it is the medium of instruction?

Today's guest is someone who knows that play is far more than just fun, it's one of the most powerful tools we have for helping children learn, connect, and thrive. Sarah Kelly is a Speech and Language Therapist, a Montessori teacher, a mum of boys, and the founder of PlayEasy, an educational toy store. Working in her own private speech and language private practice in Churchtown, Sarah saw that parents were often unsure which toys could truly support their child's speech, language, and overall development. So she began hand-selecting toys that don't just entertain, but actively build skills, spark imagination, and meet children right where they are in their growth. In our conversation today, Sarah shares how her work as both a clinician and a mother shapes her approach, the signs parents can look for in a truly educational toy, and why the best play is often the simplest. She offers practical tips for weaving language development into everyday routines, busts some persistent myths about late talking, and reminds us that the most important thing we can give our children during playtime is ourselves. Whether you're a new parent, or one who is time pressed but still wants to do the very best for their kids, or just someone who wants to understand how children learn through play, you're going to love Sarah's warmth, expertise, and advice. Thanks for listening as always, back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey, hey, you guys! This episode originally aired on Patreon March 4, 2021 but I wanted to reshare it her because I get questions on kiddos and speech all of the time.I'm so excited to have a special guest with us today who is going to address many of the questions you have been submitting about your kids and their speech development. Marci Melzer, M.Ed./SLP, is an intuitive speech-language pathologist with 30 years of experience helping people to develop the ability to use spoken language functionally. She is the founder of the online platform ‘Waves of Communication', the author of If it isn't FUN it ISN'T fun: Teach Your Child to Talk Faster Than Speech Therapy, and the host of her own YoutTube channel. Through each of these initiatives, Marci helps families to facilitate language themselves faster, easier, and with a lot more fun than speech therapy, and she shares a wealth of information and advice with us all here today.She begins by explaining her role and work, and then we delve deeply into the world of kids and language. In essence, we look at the development of speech in children, the signs that your child may need help with that development, and some strategies to employ should the need arise. Along the way we also discuss such topics as learning multiple languages, the use of sign language, and how to implement strategies during times such as the current pandemic. What Marcia and I want to make crystal clear is that there is no guilt to be assigned here. There are certain aspects in life that can block the development of speech and stop its evolution, and today we explore some ways to help you address them. I can tell you, we could have gone on for hours talking about this subject, and if you want to learn even more, don't forget to check out Marci's 370 free step-by-step strategy videos on YouTube!

Late talkers are often singled out as the “disruptor” of the class because their nonverbal communication habits distract the teacher and students away from the curriculum. This happens when late talkers attempt to use home-based, nonverbal communication habits with teachers who don't understand them. If your child is finding resistance to their communication behaviors at school, you won't want to miss these 5 tips to facilitate improved spoken language habits for increased listening and participation at school. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wavesofcommunication/message

Do you know the #1 skill all late talkers are missing? They don't know how to imitate words... which is always linked to late talking. In fact, imitating can be the one thing that separates late talkers from toddlers who are already talking. So... how do we teach nonverbal toddlers to imitate? Obviously, we can't start by trying to teach them to say words. They're not able to repeat words no matter how much we beg, bribe, and plead! What most parents of late talkers don't know is that there are "levels" of imitation that all kids learn before they begin to talk... whether a child talks late or on time. During infancy, babies learn these levels of imitation easily and naturally as they mature and grow. When late talking occurs, we know that a child has gotten "stuck" in a level of imitation and hasn't been able to progress to imitating words. When this happens, we must determine where they're "stuck," meet them there, and then help them learn to imitate more complex actions, gestures, sounds, and until they're developmentally ready to imitate real words. Once they're imitating easily and frequently, we've turned them into full-time imitators, which leads to a child who talks!

This week's guest is one of my absolute favourites Anna Dalziel, RSLP also known as Anna Dee SLP! Anna works primarily with 3-6 year olds with severe speech and language delays. Anna loves play based therapy, treating speech sound disorders, and working closely with families and school staff. We discuss late talkers, what SLPs assess other than word size in late talkers, pre-verbal skills, strategies to help late talkers and other kiddos in need of some SLP supports, how to differentiate between Autism and a late talker, and why Anna loves play-based therapy. We also talk about play milestones and how symbolic play relates to language development. Note: Two things we want to emphasize is (1) make sure to always get a hearing test in addition to an SLP assessment and (2) most late talkers still have difficulties by age five and therefore they still require SLP intervention. Click here for a helpful article on symbolic play and click here for the link for the research discussed below. Research has shown us that Late Talkers (LT) follow one of these paths:- Between 20–30% of LT do not grow out of their language delay. These children have ongoing difficulties and need intervention to help them with their language and literacy skills. They may receive a diagnosis of language disorder.- Between 70–80% of LT seem to catch up to their peers by the time they enter school. Sometimes these children are called “late bloomers” because they eventually seem to catch up to other children their age. When their “general language skills” are tested, they score in the average range, which might tell us not to worry anymore. But research tells us that these children still have difficulties that we should not ignore.- LT who seem to catch up continue to have some weaknesses- LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language and literacy skills- While these differences might seem small, it means that LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language skills. “Late bloomers” who seem to catch up actually show weaknesses in these areas:- Some language & literacy skills – these include vocabulary, grammar, phonology, reading, understanding and creating stories, writing, and listening comprehension. These subtle weaknesses can continue through adolescence- Other skills that are related to language – these are skills that rely on language, such as social skills, behaviour, and executive function skills- How the brain processes speech – researchers have studied 3 to 5-year olds who had a history of late talking, and noticed that they don’t process the speech they hear as easily as other children do. This means that they have immature or less developed speech processing skills, which can interfere with their progress with language and literacy developmentFind Anna's:- Instagram- FB Page- Anna Dee SLP website and Anna's Communication Services website - Teachers Pay Teachers page As always, please rate and review my podcast and thank you for listening!

How can you teach a child to talk when he won't imitate what you say? The short answer is, you can't! You have to start somewhere else! We do that by meeting a toddler where he is- that always means making our expectations or goals easier so that a toddler can be more successful.
