How to Book an Appointment
teachmetotalk.com is so pleased to announce our location in Shelbyville, KY, a short 30 minute drive east of Louisville.
We offer a variety of services catering especially to out-of-town families who want a second opinion or a solid assessment and comprehensive treatment plan outlined for home programming and/or recommendations for your local therapy team. New clients can schedule anything from a one hour informal session to a 3 day assessment/treatment package designed to address your specific questions and unique needs.
More than anything, we want to offer HOPE for worried parents by providing an honest, but positive assessment of not only your child’s weaknesses, but we’ll also be looking for your child’s learning strengths. We will work together with you to help you figure out how to meet your child where he is and move toward functional communication skills.
If you’ve ever wanted me to work directly with you and your child, here’s your chance!
For more information, please email me at Laura@teachmetotalk.com, and I’ll be glad to email you an initial information packet.
I hope I get the pleasure of meeting you and your baby soon!
Laura
Feedback from other parents:
“Laura, we are blown away by the skill and kindness we received from you this morning! You are correct, we did leave this first session with you knowing EXACTLY where Addie is functioning and EXACTLY what we need to do to begin helping her progress in developing language (aren’t you proud of us for remembering “language” instead of focusing on speech???). We can not believe how much you got out of our precious Addie and how much you taught us about her in such a short time. We can’t wait to see you and Johnny again in August!!!!! If anyone would like more specific information regarding our experience, please feel free to comment here and I will send you our phone number and email address.” – Family from Ohio
“My son’s therapy team through Early Intervention and at his new preschool have been so impressed with your assessment report. It is such an in-depth and accurate evaluation. Thanks again!!” – Mom from Colorado
“Thank you so much for teaching us how to teach our son!! We (Mommy, Daddy and son) have learned so much from you!! It was such a wonderful experience and we are so happy to have met you and Johnny!” – Family from AL
“Laura, It was a pleasure to work with you (and Johnny) last week. Thank you so much
for seeing M. We feel much more confident that we are on the right
path with our son. Before talking with you, I think that we felt pulled in so
many directions and quite confused as to the care and therapy that M is
requiring. You did an excellent job explaining his behaviors. We appreciate
your honesty in regards to his delays. We both left the session with a
better understand of M’s delays.” – Family from Kentucky
“Thank you so much. You provided us with new ideas and the first to take time to learn our daughter and provide us with ideas to help increase her weaknesses as well as point out her strengths which no one else has done. Thank you so much. We are so glad we made the trip to see you and Johnny.” – Mom from Illinois

Teach Me To Talk Testimonials
Happy Therapists, Teachers, Parents & Children
"I just want to thank you for the invaluable information you’ve given me in helping my grandson to talk (which I have passed on to his parents). We’ve ve learned patience, appropriate expectations, and fun and effective strategies that we had found no where else. He is exploding with conversation! Sometimes I struggle to interpret his articulation, but all I have to do is say, “Show me”, and he’s excited to do so. He and I both want so badly to communicate with each other, and your strategies have made it so much easier and non-threatening. Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Stacey
"My little guy is taking off like a rocket!! We’ve been working through your Autism Workbook for a few months and he has had an explosion of skills develop. YOU are AMAZING! THANK YOU!" Laura Q, Mom
"Dear Laura Mize and Team,
Thank you so much for all your hard work and publishing books! Our 17-month-old toddler suddenly exploded into speaking and imitating everybody's gestures and sounds, just a week or two after we 'completed' all activities that are listed under 11 pre-linguistic skills! Your method really works!"
Grateful customer.
"Hi Laura!
I absolutely LOVE all of your workbooks, especially your Autism Workbook. Starting with Social Games has been a game changer for many of my littles with ASD and their families. It's been the best way for them to finally connect and sustain shared attention and engagement, leading to longer social interactions, through play!"
Jodie, Dev, Therapist
"Hi Ms. Laura,
Thank you so much for the videos you have posted on your youtube channel. They are so direct, informative, and helpful. Thank you for being a resource for me to become a better therapist."

Thank you!
Hailey
"Laura,
I love your work! I am a professor of early childhood special education and a speech language pathologist! I have worked to help children learn to communicate and I know how valuable the information you share is for both early interventionists and pediatric speech language pathologists!
Thank you for systematically organizing and explaining essential steps for young children to learn and develop. You are having a great impact on our profession, the ECE profession and families!"
Sincerely,
David
"Thank you.
If this is Laura herself reading this email let me take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have put forth for us professionals. I own every manual (except the autism manual) and have watched every course on DVD. I have listened to countless podcasts. All of what I’ve come to be as an Early Intervention speech therapist was absolutely to your credit. With your resources at my side I have never needed to scramble for answers and strategies and above all the clear language I use when communicating with parents. My fun, animated affect and key phrases I use have been learned through watching your example. So….thank you! May you be blessed."
Chaya
"I just wanted to thank you so much for your incredible help! You are so kind and lovely and every time I implement something you've taught in your manuals or videos it is always a success, I cannot thank you enough. I really appreciate how specific you are in giving us examples of wording to use and how to use a toy in therapy with your videos, it is exactly what I need to properly help my little students. I also really appreciate your list of books of list of toys. I have seen my little students make significant progress thanks to you. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos, taking more of your CEU's, and reading more of your materials. From the bottom of my heart: thank you so much again!!"
Lauren
Laura thank you so much. Btw, you have transformed my therapy- I have become such a competent and strong therapist after watching probably like 350 of your videos and podcasts over the past few years. And I am a seasoned therapist with almost 25 years experience. (Yes prob 350 episodes ha!) But there was still a lot I learned from you. I have such a thorough understanding of birth to 3 development and how to properly incorporate appropriate therapeutic goals, techniques and strategies now, thanks to you. Kelly
