Whether you&#8217;re already using a Speech Buddy or if you just purchased one this week, the Kick-Start Program is for anyone who&#8217;s interested in learning how to use Speech Buddies effectively. I\u2019ll guide parents on tips &amp; tricks for engaging your child and walk through our online exercise platform, Speech Buddies University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why an online format for the training session?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speech Buddies are simple, yet very effective tools that help children overcome speech difficulties twice as fast. We think providing an easy, brief and accessible online forum for parents to ask and receive answers to their common questions will provide them with the confidence they need to put their child&#8217;s speech difficulties behind them for good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s one thing parents and students will be able to say they&#8217;ve accomplished at the end of the week?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think parents will be able to guide their children effectively and make a lot of progress in correcting their child\u2019s speech sound difficulties by the end of the week. I hope your child will feel proud of the progress he\u2019s making!\u00a0 Plus, the games on Speech Buddies University are fun and easy to do together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if they don&#8217;t have time to attend the session starting June 24?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the time to attend this session, we&#8217;ll be offering another program in the fall before school is back in session. <a title=\"Articulate Technologies Email \" href=\"mailto:info@articulatetech.com\" target=\"_blank\">Let us know<\/a>\u00a0and we\u2019ll e-mail you a registration reminder for the next session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything else parents should know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is our first parent focused training so we&#8217;re hoping you will sign up, participate and ask a lot of great questions!
