How To Support Your Child

This book is not age-specific—perfect for infants, toddlers, young preschoolers, and any child developing early communication skills.
A Whole-Child Approach — Color-Coded for You
We intentionally designed this book so you can instantly see how each discipline supports communication:
PT Tips (Green): Movement, posture, strength, motor patterns, readiness for communication
OT Tips (Yellow): Sensory engagement, attention, regulation, play skills
SLP Tips (Pink): Gestures, sounds, early words, joint attention, social communication foundations
Every tip is short, actionable, and easy to weave into your day.
Why We Created This Book
Early communication is more than talking—it’s connection, shared attention, body language, sensory experiences, and movement working together.
Many children show early signs of communication challenges through differences in:
Gestures
Eye gaze
Vocal play
Joint attention
Imitation
Interest in people vs. objects
Toto Goes Outside helps you recognize these early social-communication signs, understand what they mean, and feel empowered to support your child’s development—whether you’re nurturing typical growth or noticing early differences.
This book helps you Become the Expert for Your Child™, one page at a time.
