Who This Webinar Is For
This webinar is for parents, caregivers, early childhood teachers, GPs, and anyone supporting young children aged 0–5 years.
Understanding speech and language development during the early years can have a profound impact on a child's future learning, communication, confidence, and wellbeing.
This is the information we wish every parent, preschool teacher and GP knew about speech and language development from birth to five years.
Whether you're wondering if your child is developing typically, looking for practical strategies, or simply wanting to better understand early communication, this webinar is for you.
What we will cover
You'll leave with practical knowledge, greater confidence, and strategies you can begin using immediately.
During this webinar we'll explore:
✓ Common myths about speech and language development
✓ What is actually important when children are learning to communicate
✓ The critical language development period and why the early years matter
✓ What is typical, what may require support, and when to seek professional help
✓ Understanding preschool stuttering and when intervention may be beneficial
✓ Practical ways to support communication at home and in everyday situations
✓ How to recognise when "they'll grow out of it" may not be the right advice
✓ Live Q&A with an experienced Speech-Language Therapist
Why we are doing this
At Talk Together, we know that early support can make a life-changing difference.
Too often families are told to "wait and see" or are left wondering whether their concerns are valid. While every child develops differently, understanding what to look for and when to seek support can help families make informed decisions during a critical stage of development.
Our goal is to provide trusted, evidence-based information that empowers parents, educators and health professionals to confidently support children's communication journeys.

Who are our workshops for
Our workshops are for anyone supporting children and young people aged 0–18 years.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, grandparent, teacher, teacher aide, early childhood educator, or part of a child's wider support network, our workshops are designed to help you better understand communication, social skills, and development.
You don't need any prior knowledge or experience to attend. Our workshops are welcoming, practical, and designed to provide real-world strategies that can be used at home, in the classroom, and in everyday life.
Whether you're supporting a child who is thriving, struggling, neurodivergent, or simply developing in their own unique way, you'll leave with a greater understanding of how to support them to connect, communicate, and feel a sense of belonging.
