Hi there!!! I am Erin Mance (aka Miss Erin :). I have been a certified speech-language pathologist for a little over 24 years, with 18 of those years spent here in the South Bay. I have always been fascinated and in awe of how the brain develops and works, especially in regard to communication development. I don’t just look at all activities we engage our children in as just something to do, but as something that is wiring the brain in that moment! I love teaching families how ALL modalities of learning build language/brain connections, especially motor movements paired with language specific tasks. It is so enjoyable to see their reactions when they too start to see the connections being made!
I also teach families how they can begin to see EVERY moment as a language opportunity, helping to take the pressure off of feeling like they have to “add” specialized moments into their already busy day. My motto has been: “If YOU aren’t having fun, then THEY aren’t having fun”……and what’s the fun in that?! : ) I cannot WAIT to have fun with you and your little one!!
Welcome to Happy Talk! See you soon! ~Erin
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
No!!! ALL are welcome! These classes are enrichment classes for all babies and toddlers in the community. This is not speech therapy, but it is a program led by a certified speech-language pathologist to teach parents specific tips and tricks on how to encourage and build early language development all while their babies engage in socialization, exploration, and play through sensory rich, language filled experiences. It is also a time for you to bond with your child as well as to develop happy and joyful relationships with others in this community!!!
