What happens when a speech language pathologist marries a music therapist? For Chris and Kathy Baker, it sparked the creation of VoxTalk—an innovative early childhood education company dedicated to language development for children from birth to three years old. Their journey began during the pandemic when they overheard each other's virtual therapy sessions and noticed something remarkable: the powerful intersection of speech therapy and music was creating breakthrough moments for young learners.

The Bakers bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting wisdom to their approach. As parents of three children under five, they intimately understand the challenges families face. Their online course and rhyming sign language books blend speech therapy principles with music's natural engagement properties. "Music is very patterned, especially nursery rhymes," Kathy explains. "There's a lot of predictability there. For an early talker that is really powerful because not only are they anticipating the pattern, but it's also very motivating." This unique methodology addresses common parental concerns—no, teaching sign language won't delay verbal speech, and you don't need a Broadway-worthy voice to use music effectively with your child.

VoxTalk's mission extends beyond simply teaching children to communicate. The Bakers are reclaiming childhood development from digital distractions, empowering parents to become their children's most influential teachers. "In a world where we have screens and all this digital stuff," Chris notes, "take back that control and say, 'I'm going to be the responsible one to help my child grow.'" Whether you have concerns about your child's speech development or simply want to enhance your communication toolkit, VoxTalk offers accessible, evidence-based approaches that create lasting connections between parents and children.
