Plain-language reading for parents

Short, jargon-free explainers to help you understand early communication and know where to turn for qualified help.

Understanding early communication

How children communicate before and alongside words — gestures, eye contact, sounds and first phrases.

Why familiar, repeated moments like mealtimes and getting dressed are useful for language learning.

What parents commonly mean by speech delay, speech vs language, and when professional advice may help.

What a speech-language pathologist does, and how families usually get connected to one.

Getting help

If you have questions about your child’s communication, these are the usual starting points. You never need to use this app first.

Speak with your child’s doctor, paediatrician or family health nurse.
Ask about a hearing check, which is often the first step.
Request a referral to a speech-language pathologist, or contact one directly if that is available where you live.
Ask your child’s early years setting or school what support services they can connect you with.
