Do you worry your child isn’t talking yet? Are you seeing gestures, sounds, or frustration—but not many words?
You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
From Gestures to Words is a parent-friendly, expert-led course designed to help you support your child’s communication with confidence. Whether your child is preverbal, a late talker, or just beginning to speak, you’ll learn exactly how to encourage language through everyday routines, play, and connection.
Led by Lorilet Monegro, M.S., CCC-SLP, a bilingual speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience, this course simplifies speech strategies into small, meaningful actions you can take right at home—no special tools, apps, or prior experience required.
What You’ll Learn:
How to recognize and respond to your child’s nonverbal communication
How to use joint attention, gestures, and play to promote early speech
Language modeling strategies that work in real life
How to set up your home and routines for daily progress
When to seek extra support—and how to track what’s working
Who This Course Is For:
Parents and caregivers of children ages 0–5
Families who want to support early speech, naturally and confidently
Those feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or told to “wait and see”
Your child’s voice matters. You don’t have to do it perfectly—you just have to start.
Let this course be your guide.
