🧊Not sure what to look for? Dive deeper and search for pre-talking skills.

You’ll see your toddler pick up words once you zone in on the missing links.

The most common pre-talking skills that we help late Talking Toddlers with are:

▪️IMITATION SKILLS
(being able to copy a gesture, action, sound, or word)

▪️USING A VARIETY OF GESTURES
(Take a look at our posts on the 16 gestures by 16 months)

If you need 1-on-1 support, we’re here for you! DM or email.

We are thrilled to instagram announce that Cindy Addario has joined our Speech Team. Cindy has been an SLP for over 15 years and when we first met her it was like meeting a magical 🦄.

Have you met Stephanie DeCiantis yet? ♥️♥️

Stephanie’s therapy passions are parent coaching, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), social interaction skills, language delays, and motor speech difficulties.

Stephanie has two beautiful twins who keep her busy in her free time. As a mom of two young children, she understands the importance of developing strong social and communication development in children while working hand-in-hand with their families.

We are grateful to have Stephanie as part of our speech team.⭐️

🎉To this kid on his 6th birthday today!

The ORIGINAL Babbling Baby and the one who set the catalyst to start something that was so crazy of an idea at the time. Babbling Babies came to be in furious scribbles after I dropped him off to his first day of daycare when he was 1 year old.

In 5 years we have:
⭐️trademarked ™️
⭐️ added Erin, Amanda, and Lauren as our program leaders
⭐️ met hundreds of babies across the GTA
⭐️established in-person, virtual, and e-course options
⭐️re-branded as Bespoke Speech
⭐️ pivoted, waited, pivoted, waited, and now back with version 2.0 to give families more tips, community support, and fun!

I’m so lucky to have this 6 year old as my kid and proud that my maternity year with him defined what Babbling Babies came to be. ♥️ -Rebecca

❓Are you looking to join our next in-person program? We will be announcing new dates over the next few weeks. If you want to be on our priority waitlist please DM us.

Pure Magic ✨
After two years we are back in-person with our amazing families. I was so happy to facilitate the program for the first time in so long. In my depths of sadness in March 2020 I knew the time would come again. To feel the magic that Babbling Babies nurtured. So much gratitude to our wonderful families for helping it come back alive.

This is also our first time that we have had UofT SLP students on board with us! I love passing the torch on to future SLPs like Orianna!

Today was also a bittersweet moment and really tough. I wish that Amanda, our amazing facilitator, could have had the opportunity of running the program today. We’ve worked so hard together to make this moment happen. Amanda, I’m sending so much love your way.

Next week the magic starts again….

-Rebecca

Now it's easier to send Bespoke Speech a message.

Bespoke Speech updated their info in the about section.

People Games are our secret sauce in helping Little Ones meet their communication goals.

The reason why People Games are so effective in promoting language development is that they build on your Little One’s relationship that they already have with YOU. With a trusting and loving foundation, we use these fun and motivating games to help our Little Ones understand what they have to DO or SAY during the “high moment”. Caregivers can implement a 🪄magical pause✨ and voila…achievable language goals.

Want to learn how to incorporate the 🪄magical pause ✨at home? Click our profile link or story highlights for some helpful tips!
