You may have seen us holding this book at community events lately! My Invisible Friend: ADHD is a definite favourite on our shelf, and we love that it is written by a local author right here in the Waterloo Region!

This book does an incredible job of visualizing what it feels like to have a fast, creative, and busy ADHD brain. It is fun, beautifully illustrated, and a highly recommended resource for families and educators.

TOY TUESDAY: Lucky Ducks 🦆
This classic matching game is a fan favourite! With the ducks swimming around the pond, it’s a high-energy way to keep kids engaged while targeting a variety of developmental goals.

Speech Sound Practice:
- Practice the “d” sound for duck, “q” for quack, or “p” for pond and pick.
- Model functional words like “go” when the pond starts moving and “stop” when it’s time to check the shapes.

Receptive Language:
- Follow multi-step directions: “Pick a duck, then look at the bottom.”
- Work on shape and colour identification by asking the child to find the duck with the blue circle or the red square.

Expressive Language:
- Encourage requesting phrases like “I want the yellow one” or “Turn it on.”
- Practice describing actions and outcomes: “It’s swimming fast!” or “It’s a match!” / “Not a match.”

Play Skills:
- Work on joint attention as you both watch the ducks move around the circle.
- Practice turn-taking and managing the excitement (or disappointment!) of finding the right shape.

Whether you're matching shapes or just enjoying the "quacking" sounds, Lucky Ducks is a blast!

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Elmira District Secondary School for the Career Conversations event!
It was such an energizing experience engaging with Grade 9 and 10 students through The Ontario Career Lab. They had some incredibly thoughtful questions about the world of speech-language pathology, and I loved being able to share a bit about what we do at Speech Community.
A highlight of the day was running into my fellow board member, Amrita! It’s always wonderful to connect with colleagues while supporting our local students and their bright futures.
Thank you to Business Education Partnership of Waterloo Region for hosting such a fantastic day of mentorship!

Meet Lauren! 💖
We are so happy to welcome Lauren to Speech Community. She will be the Speech-Language Pathologist servicing in-home across Huron and Perth Counties starting this July, and we can’t wait for our new families to get to know her!

Lauren has over six years of experience supporting clients of all ages. From pediatric feeding and literacy to adult stroke recovery, she brings incredible versatility and a "quick-on-her-feet" creativity to every session. As a neurodivergent clinician herself, Lauren is deeply passionate about neurodiversity-affirming care and helping her clients thrive in the way their brains function best.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find Lauren spending quality time with her husband and daughter, weight-training, or attempting to finish a good book with a coffee in hand.

We are so excited to have Lauren on our team. Her warmth, experience, and heart-centered approach are such a wonderful fit for our growing community.

Welcome, Lauren!

✨ Using AI to support real life communication

One way we’ve been using AI in therapy is to help create personalized social stories that support safety, understanding, and self advocacy.

This social story was created for a little one with an egg allergy. The goal was to help them understand what an allergy is, what foods are not safe, and how to communicate their needs using clear, simple language.
AI allows us to quickly create visuals and language that are:
- Specific to the child
- Relevant to their everyday experiences
- Easy to adapt as needs change

When paired with clinical knowledge and thoughtful therapy goals, tools like this can be incredibly supportive in helping children feel more confident and understood.
Technology doesn’t replace therapy, but it can absolutely enhance it in meaningful ways 🤍
