Inklings
A Telethon Kids Institute program for babies aged 6-18 months who are showing early differences in their social interaction and communication development.
Introducing the Inklings Program
Babies are born with remarkable abilities to communicate yet sometimes the social and communication skills of babies can develop differently to what we typically expect. Telethon Kids Institute's Inklings is a new program for babies aged 6-18 months who are showing early differences in their social interaction and communication development.
It was developed from decades of research both in the UK and Australia and supports parents of babies who may be showing some early differences in the way they communicate and interact. These differences may be in areas such as response to their name or instruction, communication with sounds or gestures, motivation towards shared interaction, play and eye gaze.
Who is Inklings for?
Families who may benefit from Inklings include those with:
- A baby who is showing delays or differences in their early social interaction and communication development.
- Babies who are not yet demonstrating a range of expected social communication behaviours for their age.
- Parents who are worried about their baby’s social interaction and communication development.
The Inklings Program is available in person at Telethon Kids Institute's CliniKids clinics in Subiaco and Joondalup or via telehealth.
