Help create a Talkable team at your centre
Want Talkable to come to you?
Alongside the Talkable app, I offer a practical two-part professional learning program designed specifically for early childhood educators. Delivered live via video conference, these interactive sessions provide educators with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to support children's communication and language development throughout everyday routines and play.
The program is supported by the Talkable app and accompanying Educator Workbook, ensuring educators have access to ongoing resources they can apply in their daily practice.
By the end of the program, educators will be able to:
Recognise children who may be late to talk.
Support communication and language development through everyday interactions and routines.
Confidently use 10 evidence-based language facilitation strategies.
Use 40 key word signs to support early communication.
Better support children who speak a language other than English at home.
Select books that promote vocabulary and language development.
Use songs, rhymes and play to encourage communication.
Recognise when a child may benefit from further assessment or support from a Speech Pathologist or Paediatrician.
Training is delivered live online at a time that suits your service, making it accessible for early learning centres anywhere in Australia and internationally.
