"I really liked the structure of the 5 step model. I also found the topics covered in components 1-3 really interesting as we rarely get to focus on these early skills as children are referred later. I loved all of it. The content and references were great. The video examples, getting the chance to see clinicians working with families, observing clinicians role playing sessions and then getting a chance to then try that out for myself were really helpful. Recording myself doing that was a great way to prepare for using the programme with families. “What amazing things is baby doing?” is such a simple way to open up the session and it made me really focus in such a detailed way and it will help parents see how sophisticated their own baby’s communication is. It’s so helpful to have ongoing access to the resources. I will revisit them a lot." Y.M. (Oct. 2024)

I found each section being separated into a different topic was helpful to go back and find a specific topic. I enjoyed the videos as always, as I am a visual learner." J.S. (Sep. 2024)

"I appreciated the kind and respectful approach to parents. By commenting, praising, coaching and modeling, you're setting the parents up for success. Just telling them to model for their child isn't enough. I appreciated the more detailed levels of babbling. Great, real-life illustrations of what the presenter was teaching." L.S. (Sep. 2024)

"Great course with helpful information! I loved how this approach takes a parent-focused approach.

E.G.

(Apr. 2025)

"I have a feeding and language evaluation for a 22 month old this week. Her mother has concern for lip and tongue tie. Clearly, this course will be very beneficial in my evaluation procedures and treatment with this client, as well as others on my caseload. My graduate school professor strongly felt as though frenectomies were performed too frequently. I am thankful for this course to give me a different perspective and new considerations toward the procedures. I will definitely use my knowledge gained in this area moving forward. The presenter gave clinically relevant and research based information. The content was heavily clinically based and therefore can easily be applied in daily practice." S.F.
