Parent Coaching is a research-backed method to improve success of babies and toddlers learning to talk!
Working with a speech pathologist is the BEST way to learn skills and strategies for your Little Talker or your Little Eater!


Kristi Schlessinger M.S. CCC-SLP/ CLC
For years I’ve worked with families in my community to help them help their little ones develop their speech and language or feeding skills.
I’ve met so many parents who were concerned about their child’s skills but were not sure how to help. They often got vague or dismissive information like “just wait and see” or “just talk to your child throughout the day”
I was growing frustrated with the amount of families who were stuck on waitlists, did not “qualify” for speech therapy but needed support, or had some tools to support their child but were not sure how to use them in their super busy lives.
My goal with Little Talkers Little Eaters is to help little ones build the talking and eating skills that they need to succeed...
I didn’t just want to create resources and leave parents to figure out how to use them on their own. I know that the BEST way for maximizing these skills is from parent COACHING, and working TOGETHER to help your child!
