A 10-week course with short lessons, simple tasks, With practice each week for just a few minutes a day.
Connection Kickstart™ is an approach designed to help you support your child’s early communication in a way that feels natural and doable — even in the middle of everyday life.
This easy starter course is for parents of young children (usually aged 2 to 5) who aren’t yet using many words, or who may prefer to engage on their own terms.
Some children might be mostly non-speaking. Others may use a few words, echo what they hear, or use sounds to communicate. Some may rely more on actions, like pulling you by the hand or bringing things to show you what they want. Some might play mostly alone, while others prefer movement like trampolines or enjoy sensory play with lights and sounds.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what to do, how to join in, how to help, or if you’re doing the right things — this starter course is for you.
What It Looks Like
Connection Kickstart Lite is a complete 10-module starter course that gives you clear strategies to explore at home.
Each module includes:

- 1 homework task to try in everyday routines — just a few minutes a day to help you put the strategy into action
- 1 printable resource to guide your practice and reflection, keeping you focused during the week
The course is realistic and manageable: watch the short lessons, try the weekly focus in daily life, and use the printable to keep track.
