Speech, Language and Communication Development Workshop

Your baby's first year is such an exciting time - while you're busy getting to know each other, baby is also developing at supersonic speed!

One of the best ways to support and encourage your little one in reaching new milestones is by doing simple age-appropriate activities with them. Playtime is a great way to bond and connect with your baby - yet sometimes as new parents, we tend to be unsure about what activities we should be trying out.

This fun and interactive class based workshop series is delivered by Speech & Language Pathologist Christina Gauci and Paediatric Physiotherapist Claire Galea, and is a great way to learn how you can support your baby's speech, language and communication development, as well as physical milestones through different activities.

Play With Me workshops are baby-led sessions where parents and caregivers will be able to observe and discuss the techniques described by our Speech and Language Pathologist Christina or Paediatric Physio Claire.

Attendees learn from each others' experiences, take the time to practice the expert's suggestions on how to interact and play with their child to support milestones and development, and are encouraged to address any concerns or curiosities regarding speech, language, communication and physical development in babies.

Each session is a wonderful opportunity for parents and caregivers to bond with their baby and interact with other families!

This 2-hour class based workshop for parents and their babies between 0-12 months is a fun and interactive session packed with info on how you can support your little one's speech, language and communication development during their first year:

• Learn about your baby's speech, language and communication milestones in the first year, and get plenty of ideas for fun activities, simple resources you can use and what kind of age-appropriate toys to look out for
