"I really liked the structure of the 5 step model. I also found the topics covered in components 1-3 really interesting as we rarely get to focus on these early skills as children are referred later. I loved all of it. The content and references were great. The video examples, getting the chance to see clinicians working with families, observing clinicians role playing sessions and then getting a chance to then try that out for myself were really helpful. Recording myself doing that was a great way to prepare for using the programme with families. “What amazing things is baby doing?” is such a simple way to open up the session and it made me really focus in such a detailed way and it will help parents see how sophisticated their own baby’s communication is. It’s so helpful to have ongoing access to the resources. I will revisit them a lot." Y.M. (Oct. 2024)

"How to build upon the babies vocalizations and babbling was helpful to discuss. I enjoyed having the videos of the babies and the examples of what was happening and the next steps for therapy." D.A. (Sep. 2024)
