As I was reading, I think I had this thought. You could model it in a similar way to reading/writing; basically optional specialties. The default specialty for Fast Talk is (adults), say. And so parents need Fast Talk(children) and, later, Fast Talk(teenagers) or however you want to break it down. It default to the other specialties favorably, but that way, Mr. Bond still sucks at talking to an eight year old or whatever. Seems very complex.
