This is a 6 week workshop to provide families with information on speech therapy skills and the variety of techniques to help improve interactions with their child.  This workshop is divided into 2 parts.  The first 3 weeks will be focused on educating parents on “what is” speech and language therapy and how it can be applied to daily life.  The last 3 weeks of the program will be live demonstrations of those techniques, individuals assessments, and therapy services.
