Talk It Rock It - our story begins with a song!
Do you struggle finding the right tools to help your child or clients communicate? I understand. My entire career as a speech-language pathologist was spent looking for the right techniques and tools to help my students learn. I simply wanted the best for each and every kid, and so my journey started.
Many years ago, I was committed to using music with my students in early intervention. I knew that music was a tool that could motivate children and could reach children in ways that words could not. I could not find songs that would encourage children to imitate simple words and phrases - children who were at the very beginning of verbalizing. I couldn’t find songs that contained the techniques that I, as a speech-language pathologist, used on a daily basis. My solution? - Write my own songs.
My “out of control hobby” has become a company that allows me to reach thousands of kids every year through my songs and other products. I hope you find Talk It Rock It products as helpful as they have been to me in my work.
Talk It Rock It songs, printable visuals, videos, and the Blast Off Board Sound Sequencing Set are exciting and fun for ALL kids and especially those who are showing delays in communicating. Please explore our online store and website which is packed with information to help you in your journey. Every song I have written and every other product I have created was done with a particular need I had in my work.
