WELCOME
Bridging the gap between therapy and everyday life—because every parent deserves confidence in supporting their child grow.
As a speech-language pathologist and a mom of four, including a child with special needs, I bring together professional expertise and lived experience to guide you. I teach parents how speech and language develop, offering practical ideas and meaningful resources to guide your child’s progress. By creating a supportive space for you to ask questions and feel encouraged, I empower families to take an active, confident role in their child’s communication journey.

FAQ'S
What is Talk Move Play?
Talk Move Play takes the overwhelm out of parenting by educating and supporting families as they learn how to nurture their child’s speech, language, and overall development in everyday life.
It’s not about adding more to your plate — it’s about helping you see the learning that’s already happening in the simple, ordinary moments you share.
Through practical online courses, workshops, and a supportive parent community, Talk Move Play blends real-life parenting with the science of child development — so helping your child grow feels natural, joyful, and doable.
Who is Talk Move Play for?
Parents and caregivers of babies, toddlers, and young children who want to:
- Support speech, language, and social development
-Understand their child’s sensory and movement needs
-Feel confident knowing how to help at home — in ways that fit real life
Whether your child is developing typically or has unique needs, you’ll find strategies that meet you where you are.
What ages do your courses and workshops cover?
Most resources are designed for parents of children from birth through preschool (roughly 0–5 years old).
New workshops and courses for older children and diverse developmental needs are being added regularly.
Does Talk Move Play replace therapy?
No — Talk Move Play does not replace therapy. It’s not therapy, and it’s not meant to take the place of individualized treatment provided by a licensed professional.
Instead, Talk Move Play is about empowering you — the parent — with practical strategies you can use in everyday life to support your child’s communication, movement, and connection.
Think of it as the bridge between therapy and everyday life. If your child is already in therapy, these tools will help you carry those goals into your daily routines. And if your child isn’t in therapy, you’ll still gain valuable insight and confidence to nurture their development right where it happens most — at home, in the small, meaningful moments you share every day.
Do I need a diagnosis or therapy referral to benefit from Talk Move Play?
Not at all!
Everything I teach supports all children.
If your child is already in therapy, these tools complement what you’re doing.
If not, they’re a great way to start building strong developmental foundations through play.
