For families living in the Twin Cities of Minnesota
A word from Rachel Arntson, Speech-Language Pathologist and Owner of Talk It Rock It
I love working with kids and families. The last 25 years of my speech-language pathology career have been in early intervention (birth to three). I guided parents and caregivers to help their child communicate during their daily routines. I also worked directly with my young students, exploring which techniques worked most effectively. Brainstorming with parents on how to implement those techniques throughout their day was a major focus in my sessions with families.
Do you have a child with a speech and language delay? Would you like coaching or guidance in how to promote your child’s speech and language skills? I am available as a consultant for families in Minnesota if you have that need.
I also encourage you to contact your early intervention program or early childhood program in your local school district. Services are available if your child qualifies.
Feel free to contact Rachel directly if you have questions about speech therapy services. Her email is Rachel@TalkItRockIt.com.
