Happy Family Day!😄

The best part of family time is feeling truly connected, especially in the little moments.

Don’t let hearing concerns stand between you and the moments that matter most.

Big news from Peppa Pig!🐷

George, Peppa’s little brother, is now moderately deaf in a brand-new storyline.

We get to see the world from George’s audio perspective, splashes, puddles, and even the ice cream truck all sound a little different!

He’ll also meet an audiologist and get fitted with a hearing aid, helping him experience the world of sound in a whole new way.

It’s a fun and important way for families to learn about hearing loss, and we love seeing representation in kids’ shows! 🥰

Hearing loss can affect life in many ways.👂

There are three main types:
• Conductive: Often caused by fluid behind the eardrum, common in children. Can impact speech, language, and classroom learning.
• Sensorineural: Permanent hearing loss due to inner ear or nerve damage. Hearing aids may help.
• Mixed: A combination of both.

The impact also depends on your lifestyle and environment. Even mild hearing loss can be challenging in noisy or group settings.

Children of all ages can be assessed for speech and language development, including in infancy. For young children, observations by parents and caregivers are essential for understanding communication skills.😊

If there are concerns, it is never too early to seek guidance. Early identification supports timely intervention and better long-term outcomes.🗣️

Support varies by child and may include monitoring progress, parent education, enriched early learning experiences, and group or individual therapy.

Early intervention is about providing the proper support at the right time.

If you have questions or would like guidance on next steps, let’s talk about what support could look like for your child!🥰

What actually happens in a speech & language assessment?🤔

It’s not just “testing.” It’s understanding how your child communicates and where they need support.😁

During an assessment, we look at the nature and extent of a speech or language delay or disorder so we can set appropriate goals and a plan.

This may include:
👉🏽 Formalized tests (compared to same-age peers)
👉🏽 Picture books, play-based tasks, and questions
👉🏽 Opportunities for your child to show how they understand and use words and sentences

The results give us a clear starting point (baseline) and help us track progress over time, celebrating growth and identifying what still needs support. Have questions? Let’s talk about what support could look like for your child.🥰

Structured literacy focuses on building strong, connected reading skills, not just memorizing words.

It starts with foundational skills, such as distinguishing between sounds (b vs. p) and connecting letters to their sounds. As children progress, they work on reading smoothly, understanding vocabulary, and making meaning from what they read.📚

Every child’s learning profile is different, so these skills are practiced in ways that fit their unique needs.

If you have questions about reading development or want tips to support your child at home, reach out or check out our resources for more information.🥰

Structured literacy is not about memorizing words or guessing while reading. It’s a systematic, step-by-step approach that builds reading skills clearly and intentionally. Skills are taught explicitly and built over time, starting with sound awareness and progressing to more advanced reading and language skills.📚

Our clinicians are trained in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, a structured literacy approach recognized by the International Dyslexia Association. This approach supports decoding, spelling, and written language by helping children truly understand how sounds, letters, and word patterns work together.

Most importantly, instruction is individualized because effective reading support is never one-size-fits-all.🥰

Hearing needs change depending on your environment, your routine, and what matters most to you. Modern hearing aids are designed to support real life, whether that means following conversations in busy spaces, staying engaged during meetings, or enjoying quieter moments at home.👂🏾

Today’s technology can adapt to different listening environments, reduce background noise, and make speech clearer without being overwhelming. Finding the right hearing aid isn’t just about volume; it’s about comfort, clarity, and support that fits seamlessly into your day-to-day life.😊

Loud environments are part of everyday life, but repeated exposure to high noise levels can strain your hearing over time!🔊

From concerts and sporting events to home projects, hearing protection helps reduce harmful noise while allowing you to stay present and engaged. Protecting your hearing now helps you continue enjoying the sounds you love for years to come.😊

Modern hearing aids can connect directly to your phone, TV, or music devices, making everyday life smoother and more enjoyable.

👉🏼 Phone calls & video chats – Hear conversations clearly without struggling to catch every word.
👉🏼 TV & music streaming – Send sound straight to your ears, no extra devices needed.
👉🏼 Custom control – Adjust volume, programs, or settings right from an app on your phone.

For kids, this means classroom audio can be clearer. For adults, it means effortless calls, binge-watching, or listening to music exactly how it’s meant to sound.😃

💡Tip: Ask our team about compatible devices and apps!

For many kids, speaking can feel tricky at times, and therapy isn’t about changing who they are. It’s about helping them feel more comfortable and confident when they want to share their thoughts.🗣️

In therapy, children may work on things like slowing their speech, easing into words, managing tension, and building speaking habits that feel supportive rather than stressful.

At home, one of the most helpful things you can offer is time. Time to speak. Time to be heard. And reassurance that “bumpy speech” is okay here.

If you’re curious about whether speech therapy could support your child, we’re always happy to talk it through with you!😄
