Parent Toolkit

My Child Understands So Much...

Why Aren't They Talking?

A practical digital toolkit for parents and carers

Your child may follow familiar routines, recognise what you mean or understand everyday instructions, but still use few spoken words.

This can leave parents wondering what is happening and what they should do next.

This toolkit explains in straightforward language why understanding and talking do not always develop at the same rate. It provides practical ideas for supporting communication naturally during everyday family life.

What The Toolkit Covers

  • The difference between understanding language and using language.

  • Ways a child may communicate without spoken words.

  • Factors that can make talking more difficult.

  • Useful language to model during familiar routines

  • Ways to reduce pressure around speaking.

  • Guidance about when to seek additional professional advice.

Who Is It For?

This toolkit is for parents and carers seeking general educational information about children's communication, particularly when a child appears to understand more than they can say.

It may be useful to families of neurotypical and neurodivergent children. It does not determine whether a child has a communication difficulty or other condition.This is a Paragraph Font
