When it comes to high-tech AAC for our youngest communicators, the barriers to access —from financial cost to the difficulty of establishing buy-in—can be steep. But the research shows that the communicative gains are worth fighting for!

Our new review “If you give a preschooler AAC…chances are their expressive language will improve!” looks at the evidence that using SGDs supports expressive communication in autistic preschoolers, including a promising strategy involving visual scene displays. Learn why it’s worth getting your littlest learners connected with robust AAC and the action steps that we SLPs can take right now to maximize our impact with this group.

See the Strengths First. Always. 💖

In early childhood education, how we see a child shapes how they see themselves. This powerful quote reminds us:

“Supporting a child starts with seeing what is working… not what isn’t. Growth begins when we build from strengths, not deficits.”

Whether it’s through play-based learning, nature exploration, or creative expression, children thrive when we notice and nurture what lights them up. ✨

🌱 Instead of focusing on what a child can’t do yet, let’s:
✔ Celebrate their unique learning style
✔ Support them with sensory-rich, child-led invitations to play
✔ Encourage confidence by building on what they already know and love

From problem-solving in the block centre to making sense of the world through dramatic play, children are already capable learners. Our job is to recognize their potential and meet them with compassion, curiosity, and trust.

Let’s keep building classrooms — and homes — where every child feels seen, safe, and strong.
