Should Parents Join Speech Therapy Sessions?🤔

Many parents wonder if they should sit in on their child’s sessions. The answer: YES!☺

Here’s why your involvement makes a difference:

👉 See strategies in action – You’ll watch how the therapist teaches and responds so you can mirror those techniques at home.
👉 Consistency matters – Kids progress faster when therapy strategies are reinforced in daily routines.
👉 Boost confidence – Your encouragement during (and after) sessions helps your child feel supported.
👉 Collaborate with the therapist – You’ll have a chance to ask questions, share observations, and adjust goals together.

✨Tip: Bring a small notebook or use your phone to jot down strategies, phrases, or activities you can practice between sessions.

When therapy is a true team effort, progress extends far beyond the clinic room.🥰

Speech therapy goes beyond words; it builds connection and independence.🗣

Our team supports cognitive-communication skills that make daily life smoother, such as:

👉 Memory – learning strategies to remember names, appointments, or instructions.
👉 Attention – practicing focus in conversations, classrooms, or work meetings.
👉 Problem-solving – developing tools for organizing tasks, making decisions, and handling challenges.
👉 Executive functioning – building skills in planning, prioritizing, and flexible thinking.

Why does this matter? Because when these skills improve, so does confidence, as well as relationships and participation in everyday activities. With targeted therapy, communication becomes less stressful and more empowering.✨

Do you ever feel like people around you are mumbling? Or notice yourself turning up the TV just a little louder than everyone else likes?

These could be subtle signs that your hearing isn’t as sharp as it used to be. A quick hearing check can give you peace of mind, and, if needed, options to make listening easier again.

Here’s the secret: everyday moments at home are powerful tools for building your child’s listening skills.☺

Try these activities:

📚 Story Fill-In: Read aloud and pause — “The Three Little ___…” Let your child complete the sentence. This strengthens auditory memory and attention.
📚 Sound Detective: Pick a “mystery sound” at home or outside (like birds chirping, a door creaking, the dishwasher humming). Ask, “Can you hear it?” This helps train listening for detail.
📚 Dinner Talk Prompts: Skip the yes/no questions. Instead, ask: “What was the funniest thing that happened today?” or “What’s something you’d change if you could?” These encourage deeper listening and conversation skills.
📚 Sing & Pause: Start singing a favourite song, then stop and let your child fill in the next word. Fun + brain exercise all in one!

These small routines build listening stamina, confidence, and connection. Without ever feeling like “homework.”🥰

“Can I wear glasses and hearing aids together?”👓👂

Absolutely! Lots of people do, it just takes a few adjustments. Here’s how to make it more comfortable:

• Pick the right glasses: Look for frames with thinner arms. They take up less space behind your ear, so your hearing aids won’t feel squished.

• Check your hearing aid style: Behind-the-ear hearing aids can sit higher or lower depending on the fit. Our team can adjust them so they don’t clash with your glasses.

• Practice putting them on in the right order: Some people prefer hearing aids first, then glasses; others the opposite. Try both and see which feels more natural.

• Consider custom hearing aids: A tailored fit makes sure nothing is slipping or pinching.

If your glasses and hearing aids ever feel like they’re ‘fighting’ each other, let us help. A quick adjustment can make all the difference.☺

Listening practice doesn’t just happen in therapy or school; it happens in small, everyday moments at home.

Try this with your child:
📚 Read a story aloud together and pause to let them “fill in the blank.”
⭐ Play “sound detective” by noticing everyday sounds (a door closing, birds outside).
🗣 Ask open-ended questions at dinner to spark conversation.

Little by little, these daily routines build listening stamina, confidence, and connection. 🥰

Imagine this: your child is sitting in class, the teacher is giving instructions, and twenty other voices are buzzing around. For most kids, that background noise is just part of the day. But for a child with hearing loss or auditory processing challenges, it can feel like trying to listen through static.👂

That’s where FM systems come in. The teacher’s voice is sent directly to your child’s ears, clear, steady, and easy to follow. Suddenly, lessons feel less overwhelming, and joining in feels less intimidating.

The difference? Confidence, focus, and energy are saved for learning instead of straining to listen.🥰

If you’re wondering whether an FM system could make school easier for your child, we’d be happy to discuss it with you. ☺ ☺

Stuttering can feel overwhelming, but therapy can help. With the right strategies, children can learn to speak with more ease and confidence.

Therapy might include:
• Slowing down speech
• Gentle starts with sounds
• Relaxation and breathing
• Building new speaking habits

At home, parents can support by offering patience, encouragement, and a safe space to communicate, without pressure or shame about “bumpy speech.”

Early support matters. With guidance, children can grow into confident, empowered communicators. Stuttering does not define them; their voice and story do.

Curious about how therapy could help your child? Reach out to us; we’d love to walk alongside you in this journey.🥰

Stuttering (or dysfluency) is when the flow of speech feels “bumpy” instead of smooth. For kids, this can be confusing or frustrating, and parents may feel unsure about what’s typical.🗣

Some signs to notice:
• Repeating sounds or words (“b-b-b-ball”)
• Stretching sounds (“sssssssnake”)
• Pauses or “blocks” mid-sentence
• Extra tension in the face or body
• Working hard just to get words out

Every child’s journey with stuttering looks different. Sometimes it’s short-lived, and sometimes extra support is needed. Either way, you’re not alone, and support is available.

If you’re noticing these signs and wondering what’s next, reach out to us. We’re here to guide and support you.🥰
