Talk Together are a local Speech Language support service that parents can access in the Selwyn area.

Talk Together have put together some information and resources for parents and professionals around speech and language development in children.

If you are wanting to know a little more or have concerns about your child's speech patterns, then this is a great resource for you to try out... And it's FREE!

We encourage families and those working with kids to never 'wait & see' when it comes to language development. It's much too important!
We are so passionate about kids language development at Talk Together Speech Language Therapy and ensuring they have timely support- it is literally life trajectory changing! We have created a series of FREE resources to empower families, teachers, GPs & other professionals to feel confident about when to seek advice from a speech language therapist about kids communication development. Because you don't know what you don't know (that's why there are speech language therapists!).
Check out the resources below - these will help you know what is age appropriate for your child and whether you should have any concerns.

If you have questions or concerns about a child's (or teen's):

• Speech- the way they say sounds.
  
• Language- the words & sentences they use.
  
• Listening- their hearing or ability to follow instructions.
  
• Play or social skills.
  
• Reading.
  
• Writing.
  
• Or if they are stuttering- repeating word, sounds or stopping/blocking.
