Specialized Programs
At Harmony Speech Therapy, we offer specialized, evidence-based group programs designed to support communication across the lifespan. Our programs are interactive, supportive, and tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.
01
Mommy & Me: Communication Beginnings
Ages 2-12 months
Designed for mothers and babies ages 2 months to 1 year, Mommy & Me: Communication Beginnings is a welcoming class focused on the earliest foundations of communication, connection, and language development.
Led by an experienced Speech Language Pathologist and mother, each class combines songs, play, movement, and parent education to help you understand how your baby communicates before their first words emerge. Learn how everyday moments such as feeding, playtime, diaper changes, books, and cuddles can become meaningful opportunities for interaction and language learning.
Parents will learn about early communication milestones and practical ways to support skills such as shared attention, turn taking, gestures, babbling, imitation, understanding language, and the development of first words.
Classes are also a wonderful opportunity to get out with your baby, meet other mothers with little ones of a similar age, and build connections within the community.
No communication concerns are needed to participate. Just bring your baby and come learn, connect, and play together.
Mommy & Me classes are offered at several locations across Vancouver. Reach out to find the location closest to you!

Mommy & Me: Growing Voices
Ages 1 to 3 years
Designed for mothers and little ones ages 1 to 3 years, Mommy & Me: Growing Voices is a play based class focused on supporting communication during one of the most exciting periods of language development.
Led by an experienced Speech Language Pathologist and mother, classes use play, songs, books, movement, and everyday routines to show parents simple, practical ways to encourage communication and language development at home.
Parents will learn strategies for supporting first words, building vocabulary, combining words, understanding language, taking turns, making choices and requests, and expanding their child’s communication through play and everyday interactions.
Children will have opportunities to play and interact alongside other little ones, while parents can meet and connect with other mothers in the community.
No communication concerns or diagnosis are needed to participate. Whether your child is just beginning to use words or already becoming a little chatterbox, the class is designed to help you understand and support their next stage of communication.

Harmony Little Voices
Harmony Little Voices is a playful, interactive group that supports young children in developing social connection and communication in ways that feel natural and engaging. Through songs, stories, games, movement, and hands-on activities, children are encouraged to interact with others, take turns, share ideas, and build early back-and-forth communication skills.
We embrace all forms of communication—including gestures, sounds, words, and AAC—recognizing that each child brings their own unique way of connecting and expressing themselves. Families are an important part of the experience, with caregivers supported in learning practical, strengths-based strategies to carry over into everyday routines.
This group is inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming, welcoming children at all stages of communication. We honour each child’s individual profile and create a supportive space where every child is valued, respected, and encouraged to grow in their own way.
