How to Interact With Your Child to Grow Language

Interaction Strategies Guide

Small shifts. Big impact. Build connection through everyday moments.

Created by a mom, speech-language pathologist, parent coach, and sibling to a brother with autism — this guide helps you use simple interaction strategies to support your child’s communication in ways that feel natural and doable.

These strategies aren’t about doing more — they’re about doing things a little differently. By adjusting how you pause, offer choices, or set up routines, you can create more opportunities for your child to take a turn, express themselves, and feel heard.

Inside you’ll find:

• Practical strategies like “wait,” “give one at a time,” and “offer two choices”

• Real-life examples for playtime, mealtime, and daily routines

• Encouragement and clarity from someone who’s supported families and lived it firsthand

Perfect for parents, caregivers, and educators supporting early communicators, autistic children, or kids with language delays.

✨ Connection is the foundation of communication — and it starts with how you interact.
