Cherie and Alicia are two highly trained Speech-Language Pathologists who developed their parent coaching program after years of watching too many professionals skip over the pre-language skills that are essential prior to a child talking. They knew they had to get this information into parents’ hands and this podcast is an extension of this work.
If you're ready to take charge of your toddler's communication, join in as Cherie and Alicia cut through the misinformation out there to help you shift your thinking about what it truly takes to get your child to communicate.

How we do choice making differently!
Choice making is very likely a strategy that you have learned from your early interventionist or speech therapist! However, make sure to listen to this episode because we do it differently, always with the goal in mind of helping your child become an internally motivated communicator!

Try and see!
In this episode, we share about the concept of "scaffolding". This process allows us to give support when needed and reduce support when it's not. Tune in to learn how scaffolding can help with the communication process!

Let's talk about compliance-based strategies!
If you've listened to any of our episodes, you know that we don't believe in using a compliance-based approach or strategies for communication. But what about when it comes to other skills or learning environments? Listen in, as we discuss the big picture on this and when and if they might be appropriate.

Customer Reviews
Helpful reframe for parents
This has been so helpful in allowing me to reframe my perspective working with my speech-delayed twin toddlers with ASD. I had been putting so much pressure on myself that I’m sure they were feeling it too. Just days after starting the advice here about “igniting their social driver” I am already seeing positive changes- and I feel more relaxed and am enjoying them more too.
Hands-on approach for parents
After my child was diagnosed with autism I was endlessly researching ways to help him learn to communicate. After working with speech, OT and ABA therapists I knew there had to be more I could do myself. I’m so grateful I came across Cherie and Alicia’s Program and learned actionable skills that I can use everyday to help my child find his voice. This podcast is a must for any parent feeling stuck and wanting to do more to help their child.
The best!
When I realized something was off, I decided to get trained by Alicia and Cherie through their program. I am so glad that they created this podcast to further their reach to more moms! I used to be sad and hopeless until I found their program. I didn’t have access to services nor a diagnosis so all I had was the training.
My child is starting to try to speak more now, but if it wasn’t for the foundation I built by learning from Alicia and Cherie she would NOT be where she is today!!
Listen, subscribe, learn and thrive! You will learn the tools you need to help your child.
