Let’s make sure our services don’t just acknowledge autism, but actively accept it, in the way we work and show up every single day.

🐷 POP THE PIG 🐷

This suspense building game will keep kids engaged for ages!

Games like Pop the Pig are packed with opportunities to build your child’s speech and language skills

Through play, we’re working on:

✨ Turn taking & social skills
✨ Following instructions
✨ Speech sounds & clear talking
✨ Using words, phrases & sentences
✨ Core words like, more, go and stop

The best part? When children are engaged and motivated, they practice more and that’s where the magic happens ✨

Autism diagnosis doesn’t start with a test, it starts with someone noticing.

Noticing differences in communication.
Noticing differences in play.
Noticing differences in how a child experiences the world.

These differences don’t need to be ignored or explained away.

👉 They’re worth being curious about

Because early understanding = earlier support 💛

If something feels different, start the conversation with your health professional.

A speech session is so much more than the time you see in the room 🤍

Behind every session is planning, clinical reasoning, and intention to make sure we’re delivering high-quality, evidence-based support every single time.

To keep things consistent and meaningful, each visit includes:
✨ At least 45 minutes of 1:1 time with your child
✨ Up to 15 minutes for documentation, planning, and follow-up

During sessions, your child is building communication through play, turn-taking, speech sounds, social interaction, PODD, key word sign, and imagination all woven in.

It might look like “just playing" but it’s not. Every interaction has a purpose, building communication, confidence, and connection ✨

After the session, we capture progress, update goals, and share strategies so you feel confident supporting your child at home 🎯

No two sessions are the same because no two children are the same 🧸

A day in the life of a parent raising an autistic child 🤍

🗣 It’s advocating, over and over again. Learning new ways to communicate and connect.

🤔 Adjusting, problem-solving, and sometimes taking learning into your own hands.

🤹 It’s juggling meals, therapy, routines, and constantly thinking about what your child needs to feel regulated.

📱It’s buying fidgets, toys, and iPads, not as extras, but as essential supports.

🫂 It’s creating safety, co-regulating through big emotions, and choosing understanding even on the hardest days.

It’s a lot. And you’re doing more than most people will ever see. Here’s to the parents showing up, every single day 🥂

🌻Autism Acceptance Month🌻

Understanding leads to better support 💛

Autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental difference that shapes how a person experiences communication, social connection, sensory input, and the world around them.

It’s called a spectrum for a reason no two autistic people are the same.

In this carousel, we’re breaking down:
✨ What autism is (and what it isn’t)
✨ Common characteristics you might notice
✨ How diagnosis works
✨ Why early understanding matters

But here’s the part that matters most —
👉 Autism is not something to fix

Our role as adults is to:
✔️ Understand
✔️ Adapt environments
✔️ Support communication in meaningful ways
✔️ Celebrate each child’s strengths

When we shift from “changing the child” to supporting the child, everything changes.

🌻 World Autism Awareness Day 🌻

Today isn’t just about awareness — it’s about understanding, acceptance, and action.

At Little Leaps Speech Therapy, we are proud to support autistic children and their families in ways that honour who they are — not change them.

We focus on:
✨ Building communication in ways that feel right for each child (including AAC)
✨ Supporting connection, not compliance
✨ Celebrating strengths, interests, and individuality
✨ Creating environments where children feel safe, understood, and empowered

Every child communicates. Every child connects.
Sometimes, we just need to learn how to meet them there 💛

Let’s move beyond awareness — and into true acceptance and inclusion, every day 🌻

🏠 Home programs are designed to sit alongside therapy intervention or be a grab and go resource for families to use at home to support your child's communication goals 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🧩 We know that through consistent, play-based and motivational sessions, children build communication and interaction skills in a way that’s engaging and meaningful.

✨ But the real magic happens outside of these sessions when parents and caregivers use these strategies in everyday moments. It helps children practice, generalise, and truly solidify their skills.

With repetition, guidance, and team support, children make meaningful progress and grow in confidence 🤍

School holidays are on the horizon 😅

If you're going away or staying home, there are many opportunities to broaden your child's speech and language development 🚗

Something we love is reading books, both to our kids and ourselves 📚

Books are fun and engaging, full of language and opportunities to stretch your imagination ✨

Here are a few that we are loving in our sessions...
and the best part is you can get them for a bargain at Kmart or Big W or borrow them from the local library 🛍️📖

⌛168 hours in a week⌛

Most of our children spend 1 hour a week, sometimes more, sometimes less with their Speech Therapist.

Those other 167 hours... well they are shaped by the caregivers around them.
🕛 Parents
🕐 Educators
🕑 Friends
🕒 Family
🕓 Siblings
🕔 Coaches... the list goes on

Some parents sit on the session as this works well for their child, others cannot and some need to have sessions at school. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏫

It is our job, as therapists, to keep family trained and informed about what we are doing, how we do it and how they can implement this at home or in the community.

If you ever have a question, want us to spend time with other important people in your child's life so they can learn, or just want more (more activities, more key word signs, more visuals), please ask as this is what we love to do. 💖
