Peep TALK

Mum and young boy talking while playingPeep TALK is our new programme created for practitioners to help families foster their young child's speech, language and communication development in everyday life. Created by Peeple in collaboration with Speech and Language Therapists, Peep TALK emphasises the importance of everyday interactions in enhancing communication skills within the home.

Key features of the Peep TALK Programme:

  • Comprehensive content: The programme offers eight engaging group or one-to-one sessions, supported by ‘Talking at Home’ handouts, practical tips, and video clips that practitioners can share with parents and their children.
     
  • Parents and children together: Designed for parents and their young children with a developmental stage or age from about 18 months to four years.
     
  • Empowering parents: Peep TALK helps parents understand how and why different ways of interacting with their child actively supports their speech and language development, and the positive impact it has on their child’s future communication skills.
     
  • Mum and toddler feeding ducksReal-life activities: Peep TALK offers free or low-cost activities, ideas and interactions that fit easily into everyday life, and make a big difference to a child’s communication development.
     
  • Flexible delivery: The sessions are adaptable, enabling practitioners to deliver them in a way that best meets the needs of their local community, whether in groups or one-to-one.
     
  • Early intervention: Ideal as a first in-house intervention or for families awaiting support from a Speech and Language Therapist.
     
  • Strengths-based approach: The programme promotes a positive, non-judgemental, and interactive way of working with families, building on the things they already do.
     
  • Evidence-informed: The programme was developed by Peeple in collaboration with Speech and Language Therapists, building on our joint work with early years settings and families over many years. It complements our other Peep programmes.

Peep TALK - new

Feedback from Peep TALK parents:

"Since attending the Peep TALK group I've stopped asking my son so many questions, I now describe what he's doing instead. I give more time for listening and responding."

"I like learning new ideas each week and seeing that we aren't alone, every child is different. I share each session with my partner."

"I now feel more confident and relaxed about A's language development, and I think that's helping him make progress. The group has helped reassure me that we're doing the 'right' things."
