84: How to Get Your Baby Talking! Tips & Tricks from the Speech Sisters
Hearing your baby say their first word is such an exciting milestone. But if you're worrying that your baby isn't saying enough words or is slower to talk, you are not the only one. Many parents have these same concerns. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to get your baby to start talking!
We just had the pleasure of having Brooke and Bridget, the Speech Sisters, as our podcast guests! They are speech and language pathologists and are experts in their field. They have more than 20 years of combined experience, and they have diagnosed and treated hundreds of children with a variety of communication disorders and delays. They know how parents feel (they are moms too!) and are super passionate about helping parents and guiding them to get their children to talk.
In this episode, Bridget and Brooke share their best tips and tricks to get your baby talking. We discussed some practical tips to integrate speech and language techniques into your everyday routine as well as their favorite activities! They were a delight to chat with and we are thrilled to have them on to dive into this important subject.
