How do I get my toddler talking? Is my toddler delayed? How do I keep my child entertained in the car? What activities help language development?
And the biggest question…how do I keep my sanity as a mother through it all? Whether you’re a mom Googling all the things about child development, or curious about activities that will encourage speech and language, this podcast is for you.
The SLP Mom podcast is a weekly show packed with value:
- 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!

Will Baby Sign Language Delay My Child's Speech?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Worried that using sign language with your baby or toddler might delay their speech? You’re so not alone—but the truth might surprise you.
In this episode of The SLP Mom Podcast, we’re busting one of the most common myths I hear from parents: that using signs like “more,” “milk,” or “help” will stop kids from talking. Spoiler alert: it’s actually the opposite. 💬✨
We’ll chat about:
- What the research really says about baby sign language
- Why signs can reduce tantrums and boost confidence
- How signing supports speech (not replaces it!)
- Easy tips to get started with signing today
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious, this episode will leave you feeling confident, empowered, and excited to support your child’s communication—one little sign at a time.
