Welcome to Family Speech & Language Programs! We specialize in small-group enrichment classes for babies, toddlers and caregivers to promote language, speech and literacy development. All classes are developed and led by a Florida licensed, ASHA certified speech-language pathologist.
Toddler & Me Classes
Our classes offer a language-rich environment where your little ones can enjoy interactive stories, music, hands-on activities and creative play! Each class also includes information about communication development for caregivers, and grown-ups will have the opportunity to learn new strategies to promote their little one’s language, speech, literacy and social skills development at home.
Join us for a single pop-up class or a 4-week session, SEE BELOW for full schedule & registration links. Check back often for new dates and locations throughout Brevard County!
*Classes are intended for general informational purposes only, and are not direct speech therapy services. We do not claim to treat any communication disorders within these classes.
