Let’s be clear…

Recently, misinformation has tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, but here’s the truth:

🚫 Acetaminophen does not cause autism
🚫 Vaccines do not cause autism
🚫 Autism is not something to be “fixed” or “cured”

At Let’s Tok Speech Therapy, we want you to know that your autistic child is whole, deserving of love, and worthy of respect exactly as they are 🧡. Families deserve acceptance and meaningful support for their autistic kids.

Autistic voices must remain central in shaping a more inclusive future. Together, we can stand against fearmongering and choose dignity, respect, and acceptance.

You are not alone. We’re here with you every step of the way! 🫶

Why do SLPs love sensory play?

Because it’s SO much more than “just play”

Sensory-rich experiences help children build the foundation for communication, learning, and regulation.

Through sensory play, kids are:

👂 Strengthening their problem-solving skills
🧩 Boosting attention and curiosity
🎨 Building their creativity muscles
🖐️ Developing fine & gross motor skills
💬 Supporting speech and language growth
💗 Learning how to self-regulate

When a child is engaged in sensory play, their whole brain is lighting up and that’s exactly what sets the stage for meaningful communication and learning to occur! 🙌

Do your kids enjoy sensory play? What’s their favorite activity?

Back-to-school season can bring up big feelings for autistic kids - and for parents too 📚

By starting small, using visuals, collaborating with teachers, and sharing your child’s strengths, you can help set the stage for a calmer, more confident transition.

💬 Parents, which tip do you think your child would benefit from most this year?

09/05/2025

As an SLP, one of the most important reminders I share with families at this time of year is this: do not compare your child’s progress to anyone else’s. I know, easier said than done.

The start of school can feel overwhelming - classrooms are full of new routines, expectations, and a bunch of sensory overwhelm. It’s easy to notice what other kids are doing and wonder, “Should my child be doing that too?”

But here’s the truth: child development isn’t a race.

Autistic kids (and all kids) have unique strengths, challenges, and timelines. Comparing only creates pressure (for both you and your child).

Instead, try to notice:

🌱 The small wins that show your child’s growth
🌱 The effort they put into trying, not just the outcome
🌱 The joy they bring into learning in their own way

Every child blooms at their own pace. Trust the process, celebrate their progress, and remember that your child’s journey is just as valid and beautiful as anyone else’s 🫶

Standardized tests aren’t always the “gold standard”

This is especially true when assessing autistic kids. In fact, standardized testing often underestimate their strengths, overlook how they communicate authentically, and leave us with an incomplete picture.

That’s why my SLP assessments lean heavily on informal measures through child-led play.

Why? Because this neuroaffirming approach allows me to:

✔️Honour their sensory needs
✔️Reduce unnecessary pressure and anxiety
✔️Capture their communication profile authentically
✔️Highlight their strengths, not just their challenges

A neuroaffirming assessment doesn’t just check boxes. It paints a holistic picture of who the autistic child is, how they connect, and what supports are needed to help them thrive!

Fellow SLPs - I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you integrate informal measures into your assessments with autistic kids? 🙌

Did you know…. 💭

Did you know your child’s brain grows the fastest in the first 3 years of life? 🧠

This is why early intervention is so key. Supporting your child’s speech and language development early on helps with:

✔️ Boosting communication skills
✔️ Reducing frustration
✔️ Supporting social-emotional growth
✔️ Preparing them for school success

As an SLP, I always remind parents: you don’t have to “wait and see.” Early support can make a lifelong difference.

✨Songs ARE functional!✨

Your autistic child isn’t “just repeating” when they sing. Songs can actually be one of the very first building blocks of language 🎶

Many autistic kids (especially Gestalt Language Processors) learn best through music, rhythm, and repetition.

Instead of removing songs, I lean into them by using singing, gestures, signs, and playful song actions to build connection, imitation, and eventually more flexible, original language later on.

💡So the next time your autistic child is singing Baby Shark for the 100th time… know that it’s more than just a song. They’re learning how to communicate while having fun along the way!

👉 Save this post for later or share it with another parent who needs to hear this!
