We walk the TALK
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our clients have to say.
Vinny and Mom
I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought we might just walk away with a few resources or simple tips to try at home—but what we received was so much more than that.
The biggest transformation has been in the way I get to connect with my son. We’re able to communicate and interact in ways that make even the little everyday moments so special. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited he gets to try new words or mimic our actions. He doesn’t hesitate or hold back when we introduce new techniques, which has been incredible to watch.
I still remember realizing, ‘This is working!’ when my son started using new words so naturally—during playtime, in the car, or even while snuggling on the couch. It felt like everything was clicking.
The resources and support Paige provided gave me fresh perspectives and approaches I never would have thought of on my own. And because I had my own experience with speech as a child, I was nervous my son might struggle too. Knowing we had this guidance early on gave me peace of mind and has already made such a difference.
Working with Paige has been more than just helpful—it’s been transformative for both my son and our family.

Working with Paige has been more than just helpful—it’s been transformative for both my son and our family.
“Getting started with Paige was so quick and simple! From the moment I reached out to her about her new program she was enthusiastic, generous with her knowledge and the strategies she suggested were easy to implement right away.”
“I think going into the process with Paige I was expecting a lot more work on my end and more direct sit downs with my son to work on things. However, from the get-go the strategies were surprisingly easy to fit into our daily routines and play. It often doesn’t feel like work, just natural conversations or actions that fit into our daily life.”
“From the beginning I noticed small changes almost immediately. I noticed how much more my son was copying and how much he actually knew and could do. After a few weeks I noticed bigger changes where we started to gain more words and approximations and things just became easier all around, for him and for me. After a few months others really started to notice too and we got comments about how much more my son was chatting and how much he was trying to say.”
“I really did not want my son to fall further behind and wanted to be able to help him in whatever way that I could. Paige’s strategies have not only given my son the confidence to try new words but they have also given me the confidence and belief that we are doing the best for him that we can. I have also seen him become less frustrated as he learns how to express himself and as we find the strategies that help us understand him.”
“As soon as I first met with Paige all my worries were tossed out the window. She is so friendly, engaging and passionate about her work and helping parents and their children that it’s so easy to talk about the highs and lows of our speech journey. Paige has been so helpful and shown real interest in not only my son but getting our whole family involved in his speech journey.”
“If someone was hesitant to start with the TALK First Word program and Paige I would tell them to give it a shot! She’s so forthcoming with information and what she thinks is happening and having that insight is so valuable. The tips and strategies she gives are so easy and also have lasting value as they are easy to adjust and adapt as new words are added and you work on more challenging things.”
“Connecting more with my son as I observe him and tune into his likes to help support his language has been such a fun experience. Being my youngest it sometimes felt like he didn’t always get the same one on one time as my first born but having these strategies really fine tunes those moments we do get. It doesn’t feel like work for either of us and we get those fun moments together because some many of the strategies are game like.”
“Having the support of Paige gave me, and also my husband, direction. As a teacher I knew some different strategies and did some naturally without thinking. Even doing those I felt scattered and like I wasn’t really helping. But having the resources, and Paige’s direct support, was something that I could show my husband and we both could be on the same page. In the end he was quite impressed with how easy all the strategies were and they have become more natural for him as well.”
“I was a little on the fence at the start, about cost and effectiveness too. I wondered how effective it would be working with Paige as the parent and not with a SLP face to face with the child. I also was a little hesitant about the online format as well. As a more introverted person I wondered how easy it would be for me to jump on the calls and be open about our struggles.”
“Working with Paige hasn’t felt like work, but has helped build stronger connections with my son as well as working on his speech.”
“Paige has helped me set more reasonable goals for my son and myself and has also shown me how to celebrate even the smallest of progress steps. The reminders that there are natural progressions to how speech evolves, whether that happens at 1 or later, has also helped me become less anxious about my son’s development, which in turn makes me a more present, engaged parent.”
“If you’re on the fence about trying but haven’t yet I would reach out to Paige and have a quick conversation with her. From a quick 15 minute call you’d see how much knowledge she has, and how simple her strategies can be. Her enthusiastic nature about helping children with their speech is contagious and makes you believe you’ve got this. As someone that lives in a small town where services like this are not always readily available, having someone that is able, and willing, to meet with you online is such a gift, saving us on driving time, and allowing us to have more of that important family time.”
