How to Do Speech Therapy with Toddlers at Home

This video shows a typical early intervention speech therapy session with me, Kayla Chalko. In this video, I show how to do speech therapy with toddlers at home. I coach the parent on how to help her late talker learn new words and play skills. This little boy is 15 months old and learns very quickly. These are clips from his first one-hour session.

"Sometimes when language is behind, other skills are ahead." So true. That's what I see on my son.

That comment really touched me

[@kwaschmidt9364]

I liked this video simply because you were so transparent about how little a toddlers attention span is, so many KZbin videos make it seem as though something is wrong if you can’t sit your toddler down for an hour a day reading and learning. I like many FTM get sucked into these unrealistic expectations of what it should be, when in reality they edited out all the times the child lost interest. It took me a while to get out of that train of thought and use common sense and realize that I have a toddler and toddlers can’t and won’t sit still to look at flash cards for an hour.

I have a 3 years old nephew. He has speech delay and starts living with our family (my mom and dad) when he was 2 years old. i have opportunity to do activities just like what the therapist did and he can speak now! It just takes some times and works. Never give up if your child cant speak and never neglect if your child is "not like other child". It is better to take early action.

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Yay for your nephew!

[@evykhelas]

If just every kid was this easy to engage.

[@jeannesue9461]

Whenever they feel that the people they're familiar with are close to them, then it would be an okay, most of the time (not all. As different house, different treatments coming from the family members) The most important thing kids this age need is feeling safe, and the people living together with them should provide that "safety feeling" strong before letting the kids meet strangers.

Every kid is not always easy to engage, that is for sure! Check out this video on engagement kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3LGiGl-qdeFp7M

My son is 22 months and hardly says anything. I have 3 girls who spoke in small sentences when they turned 2. I’m trying not to compare but I’m also trying not to miss the cues of any problem. I know he can hear. I taught him “hi Dad” at 7 months and then nothing from there.. And the very few words he says (Mama, car, bus, stop) are clear. The rest is complete gibberish. He has no interest in imitating me. I’m debating about going to the doctor. ?

I really like all the different activities that you show. I really appreciate you putting this out here for parents. What I don't understand is why the therapist uses more slurred "baby talk" at times. Using words correctly with good diction seems like it would teach correct language and pronunciation better. What are your thoughts on that?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! Thanks for watching. Baby talk is a way of engaging the child with a sing-song voice. As child ages and becomes more verbal, the therapist will adjust how she talks to the child.

My daughter is 30 months old and she starts speech therapy next week. I am so scared! I will try what I have learned in this video. Thank you for making it.

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

The RMC Family Good job getting her into therapy! Good luck!

[@twairisal]

how was her speech therapy? great work on trying what you learned from this video.

[@cuongthieu8184]

Mon son is 26 months and he does not speak at all. After trying this one, he was started to copying the 1,2,3 on his finger and the round n round. Will try again tmr to see if he can start spelling a single word. Thank you sooo much!

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

That's great! Thank you for watching.

Can you do an overview video of your activity box of the contents. I am an E.C.E and a SAHM and homeschooling mom of 4. I am just interested in the contents to make sure there isn’t any ideas I am forgetting to add to my activity box for my youngest. My second oldest - 12 had a stroke in utero and is delayed in speech and has hemi CP and epilepsy and we work on speech on a consistent basis and I have noticed my youngest who just turned two is also behind in speech and I am working with him as well on speech therapy. Thank you for all your helpful videos and teachings. You are appreciated more than you will ever know. Much love.

[@keuakjon]

What happened to the kid eventually? what was his progression from there? Sweet kid.

[@danh2094]

I have no idea but it looks clear to me he looks totally normal in the video.

[@BronxFinest2481]

This is so awesome! What if the child is bilingual? Do you say the words in each language or whichever word is easiest? I feel like I'm confusing him. 😭😭😭

[@ioanahelw5905]

@Demian ALIKA What herbs are you talking about?

[@nurfairuzafniahmadfaizal531]

[@iris180282]

Really helpful video - thank you very much, will try to work with the tips you have provided!! PS: you have an uncanny resemblance to Myka Stauffer from "the Stauffer Life", even down to mannerisms, amazing! 😄

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Haha that’s neat!

[@zebish5586]

Great video. Could i please request you to make similar type of video with kid around 4-5 year old. Please

[@AliahAerial]

What advice do you have for a client who never wants to finish a task before starting a new task?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

I know what you mean. Depends on the client's age and temperament I suppose but try to have all the other activities put out of reach or in a bin that they need help opening so they can't just grab it.

[@angie624]

Thank you

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

You're welcome

[@JulietsView]

My 2 year old will only say da dada and daddy, he mumbles a ton and acts like he’s saying a lot but words don’t come out, he is very smart and knows what I mean when I say things like no, stop it, yes, bring something here, share. He understands all of that just his speech is delayed and now it’s really starting to worry me. I repeat the same words over and over like mama and sissy but he never repeats me!

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi, there I am sorry to hear you are worried, definitely speak with your child's pediatrician about your concerns. Here is a video on speech delay kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIm1lmqOj7-km7M I hope this helps.

[@lilychan82]

I really like the way how you interact with the kids. I have notice my little one 4.5years have some issues with some words like L, S D words. What exercise I should plan for her to practice? I have been going to speech therapy but I didn’t really like it , and I don’t see that much of improvement. Do you any good speech therapy in Sydney? Thanks

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi no sorry I don’t know anyone in Sydney. Maybe try a new person

[@StarryNightxx]

Maybe you could encourage them to practice using some theatre singing warm ups. Those focus a lot on annunciation and are super fun to sing with kids because they're so whacky. I hope that's helpful!

[@dailylifeofanything399]

How old was the baby in this vid when it was recorded? My currently 29month old is a bit slow in speech im thinking maybe because of biligualism but he does love throwing ball back and forth. Easily loses interest tho and finds new things to do. His favorite is watching things soin. Fans, dryer etc. Loves clicking on every little buttons and switches that has cause and effect i.e lights household items that makes noise, air purifier, u name it. Has a hard time sitting down and wait for me to read him something, he rather goes for the book himself and flips the pages and dont usually let me read to him. He makes it clear to me he wants to go downstairs to see the dryer/washer by making sound they produce and pulling my hands. Hes obsessed with it. But once it satisfy, he will without fuss follow me back upstairs for other things. Help

[@jomiongoo]

Really nice

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@erykab3688]

Hi I find this very helpful. My son just turned 3 and has a speech delay. What do you recommend to do to improve his speech? He does understand when I tell him to do something and he communicates by pointing and saying the few words he does know. Please any advice would be helpful We also speak to him in spanish and english so I dont know if that has to do with his speech delay

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

[@asmasumar2716]

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

You are so welcome!

[@JFU245]

I can’t wait to try this with my son. He is 18 months and can only say hot. Does not say hello, bye, mama or dada etc. I hope this helps him 🥺

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Let me know how it goes!

[@jessicabraithwaite5822]

My son is the same

[@Its_Ambira]

How is he now with speech , b cz my son is same age now and just say peak a boo

[@travel3583]

I have just started watching your videos they are the best but was looking for video that will help my 18 month old to respond his name . How do I approach that ?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! That's a tougher skill to teach. I cover those types of skills in my online course. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGW2qYmlj6aheMU

[@sirjoshuafaw]

What do you do when they take more than one and start bawling ? Take it away and retry ?

[@madhuchandapaul5567]

Awesome

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thanks

[@janeenm5543]

I found this helpful. My 19month old only says Dada and occassionally mom, but I can't get him to say any other words. He understands what we say and when he wants something he tries to pull us by the hand but still won't speak. I have even tried to teach him signs but when I do this he cries or tries to hug me instead. Are there any other tricks I can use to help him get talking?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

NeenaJ M Hi! Sounds like you are doing a great job trying! I have tons of videos to help! Keep up with those...otherwise pursue speech therapy and try to get him socialized with other kids who are talking.

[@angelbarbie7528]

This is exactly what my 21 months old son is doing currently. I know this is an old post, how is your son doing after 2 years? I'm just looking for some hope

[@MariaMartinez-ee8wn]

@@angelbarbie7528 Hi how is your son doing?

[@simonmurray5432]

My son is 16 and half months only says the word gone when he's finished food once said hello with a toy phone to his ear and can follow instructions like "where's your drink" he will search the room and find it. But concerned about his lack of speech at the moment, babbles a lot and trying these things, how long do you think it would take for him to start saying more following these steps? Can't really see anyone as from the UK and in a full lockdown

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi it would be a good idea to seek an evaluation (when possible). I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
