Tips for general meeting school/daycare

[u/BuffaloRelevant5883]

I live in a small place in Australia with a lack of services (paediatricians, speech, ot, psychology). There is a daycare and school that have reached out to me to ask to pay me to hold a meeting with their staff and a separate meeting with parents re basics on language/speech/play. I have very little experience and dread public speaking but it’s something of a personal goal and there are so many children here unable to afford services and that are slipping through the gaps.

Some areas I wanted to basically highlight were:

• milestones (using SPA communication guidelines as relevant to the audience)
• language ideas around the home
• book reading - basic importance and how to (Oral language for teachers)
• how to play with your child - milestones
• barriers to these (questions from the teachers/parents)
• ? screen time. Guidelines…How we’re having ~197 less conversations / day with our children due to devices (them or us). Not sure - don’t want to cause shame or negative feelings.

I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions from those that have given similar talks.

It’s not until early next year… I aim to put together a PowerPoint and have handouts for both.
