IN A WAY that's fun and motivating
SO THAT you can confidently help your child talk
WITHOUT relying solely on the limited hours of speech on your child's IEP.
My name is Rebecca Robbins and I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist who has spent most of my career working with children on the Autism Spectrum.
Over my 15 years as a speech-language pathologist, I've had dozens of nonverbal or minimally verbal children enter my caseload. As such, it became necessary for me to figure out how to help these children talk. The work I’ve done for those children has resulted in the creation of a structured system of hand cues that I use to teach children how to say all the different speech sounds.
What I’ve also discovered over the course of my career is that these hand cues work for any child that needs help with their speech production. From the child who is still learning to say their first few sounds, to the older child still working on correcting those last few articulation errors and all those in between. These hand cues work!
These are the very hand cues you will learn in the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits.
My goal is to put the power back in your hands as the parent by training and teaching you to do what I do in my therapy room. That’s why I’ve created the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits.
It took my knowledge and expertise as a speech-language pathologist to develop these kits but the tools inside can be implemented by anyone who is willing to take the time to learn them!
When you use the tools inside the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits, you will be giving your child exposure to a fun and effective way of learning speech sounds that results in your child saying more sounds and more people understanding what your child is saying.
You will learn how to use all the bodily senses (hearing, sight, movement, touch) to reorganize how your child’s brain tells their mouth to produce speech so that talking becomes easier for your child than it was before. That’s the beauty and magic of using a whole body approach to learning how to talk.
What’s more is you will have the ability to use these tools wherever you and your child go because the core of the program happens literally right in your fingertips with the Your Child Can Say Sounds hand cues. Whether you’re out at the grocery store, the mall, a birthday party, or at the dinner table, you’ll be able to use the Your Child Can Say Sounds hand cues to help your child say whatever they need to say right there in the moment they want to say it.
And once your child learns the cues too, they will even be able to start using them independently to help themselves talk (which is the ultimate goal of the Your Child Can Say Sounds hand cues).
It’s about a little boy diagnosed with Autism who entered my caseload completely unable to speak BUT boy was he able to communicate!
I remember one day, my grad student and I were baselining his ability to label pictures as we were in the process of writing his goals. I showed him a picture of a banana…
Well, this little boy, who had absolutely no ability to produce actual speech, looked at us, said “oo oo oo” while acting like a monkey then pretended to peel and eat a banana!
I looked at my grad student with my jaw on the floor, laughed and said, “That’s right. It’s a banana. A monkey eats a banana.” We all left the session smiling ear to ear!
Fast forward to about a year-and-a-half later... I had been teaching this little boy to talk using the Your Child Can Say Sounds hand cues and he was now a verbal communicator.
One day, his mom called me after his recent visit to his neurologist to tell me that because of the progress he had made in his ability to talk, his neurologist was now able to assess his true abilities in a much more accurate way.
***At that appointment, he removed this boy’s diagnosis of Autism and changed it to Apraxia of Speech with an associated Sensory Processing Disorder!***
I had suspected this was the case all along because he was so social and such a strong nonverbal communicator. I talked to his mom and assured her this is a very good thing! We both hung up the phone that day feeling happy.
By the time this boy left our program, he was speaking in sentences and cracking everyone up because he was finally able to express his amazing sense of humor!
This is the power that lies inside these hand cues. They truly can unlock a child’s potential to learn how to say speech sounds.
After purchasing the Your Child Can Say Sounds kits
I have a 24-year-old special needs child who is non-verbal. She does have vocalizations but no formal speech. At times, this causes her a lot of frustration and affects her behavior. Your techniques are teaching us how to help our child to learn to communicate.
It's like a guided map to helping her learn what to do to be more vocal and communicate in a way that is appropriate and safe for her.
Having completed your course and having the materials and your continued assistance, my child is vocalizing more sounds and responding to questions with more attempts to speak.
I believe with small, repeated steps and your structured speech program, my child will have the best opportunity to become a more verbal communicator. I thank you and truly appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to filling a need that I have not found anywhere else.

I was nervous and I had a lot of doubt that it would work with me at the helm.
I was scared of assuming the teacher role until there was just no choice (we were going through this program during the peak of the pandemic).
I have loved every second of it even when we were trying to break through an extinction burst of behaviors to get to the positive ones. Rebecca’s guidance and the way she takes the time to teach her ‘miracle materials' as I like to refer to them has been invaluable.
I am so happy that I dared to try this and am so appreciative for all of Rebecca’s time, support, materials, information, ideas, oh my goodness EVERYTHING! There is no doubt in my mind that I won't hear my little guy's voice in the future (we are so close).
Within a week of taking this course he was already imitating mouth movements where he hadn't been before.

Along with her super positive attitude, dedication and patience, I have witnessed these hand cues to work with my non-verbal students! From rapport building, behavior managing and creatively meeting individual needs, Rebecca has made an impact on all students who have crossed her path.
Rebecca has also trained other support staff working with my class, and parents too! I highly recommend this online training so you can experience the effectiveness of Rebecca’s hand cues for yourself and help the children in your life the way she has helped so many!
— Jean B., Special Educator
Rebecca worked with my son who had very few words or sounds at age 2. Within weeks of introducing her program of hand signals, he started making new sounds and steadily forming new words.
It was like finding the key to a locked treasure chest. I used Rebecca's hand signal with my special needs students and got the same kind of results with them also.
The combination of the hand signals and sound cues helps children with communication delays to grasp and differentiate sounds that were too elusive to them before. I highly recommend Rebecca's program. You will get results with those children that are truly struggling to make progress.
— Camille Adinolfi D’Amico
I have used these hand cues in my therapy room for years and have seen child after child learn how to master their ability to say their speech sounds as a result.
The use of sight, sound, movement, and touch all working together to teach one individual skill ignites the brain to produce speech in a way that was elusive before. This whole body and sensory approach helps the child gain control over the muscles in their mouth resulting in the ability to say more and more sounds.
The videos inside the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits will show you how to capitalize on your child’s newfound improvement in their ability to control their mouth by providing fun and easy suggestions for practice that your child will want to do over and over again.
Which is great news because repetition is the key to your child building the neural pathways necessary to produce speech so that saying sounds becomes easy and automatic.
Then you get to dip your toe in the water of the home speech protocol I teach in Nonverbal No More as the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kit teaches you the basics of how to take your child from learning how to say a sound to saying that sound in simple syllables and words.
How much time do I need to devote to this for it to work?
As with anything in life, you will get out of this program what you put in, so the more you implement the program and its strategies with your child, the better your results will be. However, I understand that life is busy so I recommend a minimum of 15-30 minutes 2-3 times per week of structured practice with your child and squeezing in extra informal practice during daily routines, such as bathtime. The more you use these hand cues throughout the day, both when you’re talking to your child and to prompt your child to say the sounds, the faster and better your child will be able to incorporate these sounds in their spontaneous speech. The instructional videos are about 20 minutes long and can be watched as you plan to target each new sound with your child.
What if I have questions along the way?
If you have questions that pop-up as you work through the course, you are always welcome to email support@mindshaperslp.com and someone will get back to you within 48-72 hours. Any questions regarding the actual implementation of course strategies will be answered by me directly. However, if you find these strategies are really helping your child’s speech take off and you’re looking for ways to really take a deeper dive into these strategies, I suggest you check out the Nonverbal No More Membership. The Nonverbal No More Membership teaches you all the specifics of how to set up a home speech program for your child and turn that speech into functional language. Plus it comes with lifetime access to professional guidance and support as you work through the program. Click here to learn more.
I’m not a teacher or an SLP. Can I really do this program with my child?
Absolutely! Anyone has the ability to learn and implement these skills. All it takes is willingness, dedication and commitment. I have taught numerous special educators, paraprofessionals, parents, and even siblings over the years to successfully use these strategies. My teaching style is designed to be easy-to-implement by any parent no matter their training or experience.
Will this work for my child?
If you show up and do the work, you will see progress with your child. How much progress depends on how consistently you implement this process, and your individual child. Every child is unique and progresses in his/her own way. I CAN share that I've seen the benefits of these hand cues with the many kids I‘ve worked with over the past 15 years.
How do I access the course materials?
The Your Child Can Say Sounds Kit is hosted on the Teachable platform. Once you enroll in the program, you will receive all the information on how to set-up your Teachable account and access your kit delivered directly to your inbox.
Will this replace the speech therapy my child is currently receiving?
No, the Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits are not speech therapy for your child and should never be used as a replacement for direct speech therapy services from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist. The Your Child Can Say Sounds Kits are for parent education that is intended to be used as a supplement to the direct treatment your child receives with their own SLP.
Each video is jam-packed with professional tips on how to use my Nonverbal No More hand cues to cue the speech sounds your child needs to learn. I also cover simple, yet tried and true strategies that I use in my own therapy room to teach my students how to talk so that you can become your child’s own speech teacher right in your own home.
