Training
All courses are delivered by The Help Kids Talk Coordinator (a highly experienced speech and language therapist) or The Help Kids Talk Practitioner (Early Years Consultant) and have been co-designed and developed in partnership with representatives from all sectors. Parents and young people with lived experience have also been consulted to ensure our training is informative and relevant. We continually evaluate the feedback from the training and adapt it as appropriate.
Our Training
-
In this training we link our 12 key messages to the ‘Five to Thrive’ approach developed by KCA (Knowledge, Connect, Action.) We recognise the link between infant mental health, brain development and speech, language and communication skills. This training includes tips and strategies you can use as a parent, carer or practitioner to maximise opportunities for positive interaction in daily activities and routines.
What people are saying
“Love the messages so clear and will help us all be consistent”
“The Help Kids Talk Basic Awareness session highlights the importance of getting back to basics – I will be sharing this with parents”
-
In this training we explore how speech, language and communication skills develop, including developmental milestones for speech, language and communication. We also share activities and strategies to support babies, children and young people at different ages and stages and explain when onward referral is appropriate. Anyone that attends the Level 1 training will receive a digital version of the Help Kids Talk Level 1 Training Manual.

Help Kids Talk have created a ‘Bitesize Series’ which is a collection of very short films for parents, carers and practitioners as they support the speech, language and communication development of babies, children and young people. Many of the participants in the bitesize sessions share from their own lived experience and offer us great insights, tips and advice.
