ABOUT LATE TALKERS FOUNDATION:   A guiding principle of the Late Talkers Foundation is that parents are the most significant influence in their child’s life. Our mission is to provide parents with insight, knowledge, and a continuing resource of support so that they can provide the best possible environments for their child.

When parents understand their child’s needs and are trained to meet those needs, their ability to influence development and learning overall are optimized. As a result, the quality of life for all family members, including the child’s, is improved.

It is so important for families to experience parenthood’s joys and the wonder of the growing up years. A parent’s confidence in their understanding and ability to provide for their child improves the outlook for every member of the family. The Late Talkers Foundation strives to fulfill this mission with each family and is privileged to partner with families in this process.
