Welcome to The Interaction Coach podcast, part of a collection of resources for parents of a child with a speech, language or communication challenge.

The podcast is for parents like you who want to know what to expect in their child’s development, how they can help their child at home, and how to make informed decisions if they need to find speech and language therapy services.

You’ll get practical, easy-to-use ideas that will help your child boost their communication development—starting today.

Stop worrying and start celebrating all the changes you’ll learn to recognize that your child is making as you interact together.

You’ll also feel more confident and informed if you need to search for therapy services, so you can work as an equal part of the team if your child is receiving therapy.

I’m speech-language pathologist Joyce Olson. I’ve got over 40 years’ experience working with children from birth to age 22 and with adults with significant communication challenges.

My mission is to get information and support to as many parents as possible by removing roadblocks that so many parents experience. You’ll find the podcast helpful if

  • You wonder or worry if your child’s speech & language development is on track
  • You believe your child has a communication difficulty but don’t know where to turn for help
  • You want to know what you can do at home to support your child’s communication development
  • you want to learn about recommended, research-based therapy approaches that would best meet your child's specific needs

Season 1 starts with essential information every parent should understand about how communication skills develop and what you can do in your everyday activities that will help build those skills faster and stronger.

Future seasons will explain later language development and effective therapy approaches that address a variety of communication challenges. The field of speech and language is huge, so we’ll also have guests to explain their areas of specialization in diagnosing and treating communication disorders.

Welcome to The Interaction Coach. I’m looking forward to communicating with you!
