Class Description
Talk & Play classes use play as the foundation for early speech and language development. Each session is designed and guided by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and focuses on building foundational skills such as joint attention, imitation, turn-taking, baby signs and gestures, early vocabulary, and social engagement.
Caregivers join their child in class while learning practical strategies to support communication development during everyday routines, play, and daily interactions. The class also offers opportunities to connect with other families, share experiences, and build a supportive community where both children and caregivers can learn, grow, and encourage one another.
