Why are we hosting this workshop?

We have seen so many children on long waitlists across Australia who need speech therapy and are not yet talking, only saying a few words or find it difficult to hold a conversation. These children need early intervention to help them communicate. We have found that by equipping parents to have the tools right from the start, it means children have the best opportunity to reach their communication potential. We know that early intervention has the best results, so we want to get these strategies to you as quickly as we can. 

Will this be a presentation or an interactive workshop?

Yes there will be a Q&A section at the end. We will cover lots of really practical hands-on content, so make sure you bring a pen and paper. Cameras are optional.

Will there be a replay?

We want this to be a supportive, small group environment so that we can address your burning questions. This will be a live only event.

Is this workshop for you?

If any of the following apply to you, you're in the right place.

  • Your child is not yet talking, is saying words or is having a short conversation

  • You want more for your child than what traditional speech therapy can offer

  • You want to avoid battles and communication frustrations at home

  • You want to maximise your child's language development by using a different approach

What other parents have said:

Alice's presenting style is clear and organised. The visuals and video demonstrations Alice used really helped bring the explanations to life and made everything feel more relatable.

The tips Alice gave were practical and easy to implement in real life. I could use them with my child straight away.

I’d highly recommend Alice's presentation to other families.

Danielle's ability to engage the group and make the space safe for us to share struggles with strangers was amazing. The information and theories were presented in an easy to understand way, and we never felt silly or foolish for not knowing it.

We highly recommend working with Danielle if you ever get the chance.
