Your Child Isn’t Waiting to Talk — They’re waiting for you to hear them

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: your child isn’t choosing not to talk — they’re waiting for tools, guidance, and access to communication.

“Wait and see” approaches are common in healthcare and schools, but they can leave children behind. A child who isn’t talking isn’t just being stubborn or shy — they may need structured support, accessible language, or communication tools to express themselves fully.

Just because a child isn’t talking doesn’t mean they don’t have something to say. Speaking requires complex coordination of thinking, planning, and moving the mouth and tongue — and for some children, this can be exhausting or frustrating. Communication can happen in many ways, from gestures and facial expressions to signing or using Augmentative and Alternative (AAC) tools. Your child isn’t waiting to talk — they’re waiting for you to hear them in the way they can express themselves today. Recognising and responding to these alternative forms of communication helps children feel understood, confident, and motivated to keep connecting.

Every day without support is a day of missed communication, learning, and social connection. Early, neurodiversity-affirming intervention gives children the opportunity to express themselves on their own terms, build confidence, and reduce frustration. By providing support now — not later — parents can help their child access language in ways that work for them, celebrate every attempt, and set them up for long-term success.
