My son said his first two-word phrase today!
We've been doing the Wait and Model technique for 3 weeks and today at breakfast he said 'more milk'! I literally cried.

Bath time language hack that worked for us
We bought foam letters for the bath and now my daughter tries to name every letter. She went from 10 words to 30 in a month.
My daughter finally tolerated a new texture at dinner
She touched roasted sweet potato, smelled it, and actually took one tiny bite without gagging. Feeding progress can feel microscopic, but tonight felt huge.
New here - 2 year old with speech delay
Hi everyone! Our pediatrician referred us for evaluation but the wait is 8 months. Found HomeSLP and starting Week 1 today. Any advice for beginners?

I laminated the Week 1 fridge card and put it at eye level near the high chair. It stopped me from freezing up and helped grandparents follow the same language routines.
