Speech Pathology Week 2025 August 24th - 30th

This Speech Pathology Week, we’re celebrating the power of communication and the incredible speech pathologists who help children find their voice. πŸ’¬

✨ The 2025 theme is Impact Through Communication, highlighting how speech therapy helps children build:
🀝 Connection with family and friends
πŸ’ͺ Confidence to speak and be heard
🌈 Inclusion in play, learning, and conversation
🎈 Independence in everyday routines
🧠 Emotional wellbeing through expression

At Little Leaps, we see the impact of communication every day β€” in a first word, a new sentence, or a child saying what’s on their mind. πŸ’–

To every speech pathologist supporting little voices: thank you. The difference you make is life-changing.

Book week is more than just a dress up week. Books are a valuable resource for teaching children communication skills that go beyond the pages of the book.

Our tips for reading books to children are;

πŸ—£οΈ Vary your tone. this keeps your child interested in the story and can point out key words or points.

πŸ“š have a book basket or shelf your kid can access so they can pick what to read. keep this pile small to avoid the overwhelming choice.

πŸ“– re-read the same books regularly. this helps your child become familiar with the book. rhyming and enthusiam when reading keeps your child engaged.

➑️ Swipe across to see which books were shortlisted in each category for this year! Are there any books you wish made the list? Let us know below!

For 2025 Little Leaps is moving towards providing Block Therapy πŸ’‘

⭐️ Block Therapy is a service delivery model in which therapy is provided in concentrated "blocks" of time that are specific and measurable. ⏰

⭐️ Each block has clear goals, which the child's team are involved in setting, and towards the end of each block we will review progress and discuss our next steps. πŸ‘£

⭐️ Blocks will typically last for 6-8 weeks and children will engage in at least 3 blocks of therapy over the year. 🌼

⭐️ We are excited to introduce this different method of service delivery and can't wait to share in our little leapers success. πŸ“—

πŸŽ„βœ¨ Wrapping up our first year in business with a heart full of gratitude! πŸ™ It’s been such an incredible journey working with all of our little ones and their families, helping them strengthen their communication skills and reach new milestones. I’m so thankful for all the trust, support, and growth this year has brought. 🧑

As we take a well-deserved break from December 19th to January 8th, I’m reflecting on all the progress we've made and can't wait to see what the new year holds! Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season filled with love, joy, and a whole lot of laughter. See you in 2025! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ…πŸΌπŸŽ

Being curious allows us to use a different lens when looking at our child's behaviour, vocalisation or communication attempt. 🐡

Sometimes there may be a hidden meaning in what they are doing and saying and being curious allows us to discover this. If we can find these hidden meanings we can connect on a deeper level and provide the communication model for what they may be saying to possibly use next time.

🌟 Try this Hanen strategy in your next interaction:

πŸ‘€ Observe: Take some time to observe what your child is looking at or pointing to. This can help you discover what has captured your child's attention.

🫸🏼 Wait: By waiting you are letting your child know that you are ready for them to respond or take the lead in communicating with you.

πŸ‘‚πŸΌ Listen: Pay close attention to all of your child's words, sounds and gestures without interrupting them. This helps them to know that what they are saying is important to you.
