the Language of Play™ foundations course
Self-paced, Online Course
This course helps parents understand and strengthen the foundational skills behind their child’s speech, language, and listening challenges. When these skills seem to work one moment and fall apart the next, it is often because an underlying skill has not yet become solid. Through short video lessons, guided practice ideas, podcast support, and curated resources, you will learn how to recognize what may be missing and support those skills naturally in everyday life.
Designed as a low-cost starting place, this course brings clarity to parents who feel unsure where to begin. If you later choose personalized coaching, the cost of this course will be applied toward your program. Families on the early access list will be the first invited when the course opens and will receive the introductory release price when it launches.
