- Answering all your questions and concerns about your child’s speech and language development.
I’m Erin Larsen, a pediatric speech-language pathologist, and I LOVE this age group. I’ve worked in early intervention and early childhood for years, and my favorite part of my job is connecting with parents and teaching them that THEY are their child’s best toy. I look forward to connecting with each and every one of you!

In this episode of the Speech and Language On the Go Podcast, we dive into creative ways to encourage language development during the holiday season. Host and speech-language pathologist, Erin Larsen, shares simple and fun ideas for incorporating language learning into holiday activities, from looking at Christmas lights to visiting your local library for holiday-themed storytimes. Whether you're on a budget or enjoying festive outings, there are plenty of free (and affordable) experiences that provide rich opportunities for expanding your child's vocabulary.
Learn how to model language during these experiences, whether your child is just starting to use gestures, making sounds, or ready to say their first words. Discover the power of "36 exposures" to new vocabulary and how you can naturally weave in new words, from nouns like "reindeer" to verbs like "run" and adjectives like "big."
You'll also get tips for working on your child’s receptive language skills with fun, interactive games like following simple directions during your outings. The key is making it enjoyable! This episode is packed with easy-to-implement strategies to turn holiday fun into valuable language-learning moments for your child.
Tune in for a lighthearted and practical discussion on how to make the most of your holiday activities to boost your child’s speech and language skills—while having a blast!
