Packed with Play, Powered by Language

Talking Mama Bears provides speech-language pathologists with engaging activities and ideas. We are excited to share our mama journeys with you!

Welcome!

We are two full-time speech-language pathologists working in neighboring school districts in northern Illinois AND full-time mamas. For all those fellow mama bears out there…we hope to give lots of insight on how to support your own child at home to increase language skills, support articulation practice, and ultimately find their roar!

let talking mamas help create a language rich environment at home through play!
