Ming (Agents of Speech) explains why parents should act as their child’s primary therapist for speech-delayed children. He emphasizes parent training, notes that clinic-based speech therapy is usually infrequent (weekly/biweekly, 30–45 minute sessions) and often fails to generalize to home without parental bridging, and directs viewers to free courses at www.comcourse as a resource. The speaker frames parent-led daily practice as essential because parents have the most time with the child.

Chapters

I teach parents how to teach their own children at home. Right? And if you go to www.comcourse we have a bunch of free courses there that we use to sell for money, and now it's all free. It's my way of giving back. Go there and educate yourself first, because that's the most important thing that you can do right now. You need to be the therapist. We put a lot of emphasis in parent training because most of the time speech therapy is around like a weekly or a biweekly or sometimes if you're very lucky, you get two or three times a week. It's not every day. Each session is around 30 to 45 minutes. Even if your child can start speaking in therapy, that doesn't mean when they come back to home, it translates into your start talking. There's a lot of bridging between the work in the clinic and the work at home. Our company, Agents of Speech, do a lot of parent training because you need to be the therapist that your child needs because you're the best one, because you have the most time with your child.
