THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LANGUAGE FACILITATORS!
Schools and Therapy Centers are Overwhelmed by the Number of Late Talkers!
Every day, more and more children are being identified as NOT school ready AND waitlists for speech and occupational therapy are GROWING.
When PARENTS are equipped and empowered with the information and support they need, they can do the "work" EVERY day for FASTER progress toward your goals.
Parents and caregivers worldwide are learning to facilitate the FUNctional speech, social skills, and school readiness development that the child NEEDS to use NOW.
When FACILITATOR parents work TOGETHER with caregivers, teachers, and therapists, the child's OUTCOMES are always BETTER.
You ALWAYS have the option to become your child's facilitator.

Here's what parents are saying about Marci's training.
"Marci is exceptionally great coach for people in dire need who can only dream to see their kids talking and listening.
Her techniques are so unique yet simple to understand.
Her strategy of empowering parents is such a great point all the therapists need to understand."
Bhupinder K. - USA
"With a lot of intuition, empathy and practical viewpoints her process is naturally tailor-made for every kid specially.
She is very good listener and takes every small point from the parents with respect and gives due consideration.
Marci helps in more of behavior changes in the kids which translates into a calmer and happier kid.
Then speech output definitely improves, and all are happy, no crying, no tantrums.
I definitely recommend her."
Dr. Deepthi - Developmental Pediatrician Hyderabad, India
"Wow!! You are fantastic!
How refreshing it is to have someone provide such a comprehensive outline of self-assessment information.
And I love the holistic and “alternative” recommendations. Top notch and sooo helpful. Thank you!
I love how child focused these strategies are!
You are teaching respect and taking a lot of the ego out of being a parent!
Love these strategies."

Learn from parents who have done it!
Hayley helped her son get READY for Kindy in Central Coast, AU.
When Hayley's late talker Charlie was turned away from the private school where her daughter attends (because of his behavior) she had no choice but to turn to the public school system.
After standardized assessments, it was determined that Charlie was NOT ready to attend regular education, and he would need to be diagnosed with ASD and placed into a specialized class.
Hayley doesn't believe that Charlie has ASD because he suffered from chronic glue ear and couldn't even hear properly until he was 5.5 years old. So, she enrolled him in a Kindy TEST program to see if she could help him get ready for REGULAR education in time.
Hayley got SERIOUS and created a plan to prove that Charlie is learning FUNctional language every day and that he NEEDS to be around other children who speak BETTER so he can catch up.
30 days later, Charlie was a ROCK STAR at the Kindy readiness test program. He followed directions, shared his wants and needs, overcame challenges, and SHOCKED the evaluators who wanted to call him autistic.
