‼️

As a speech and language pathologist, I often meet persistent and loving parents who are eager to put their child in speech/language therapy, but are subtly hesitant when I recommend occupational therapy (OT) simultaneously. Their usual response? “Speech lang naman ang concern, bakit kailangan pa ng OT?” 💭

‼️ Here’s what I try to explain:
A child has to be (1) regulated, (2) engaged, and (3) able to attend before meaningful communication can develop. That’s where occupational therapy comes in. It helps build foundations for communication through movement, play, and sensory work that support the brain, which directly support speech and language progress

Think of OT as the “soil” that speech grows from 🌱 Without it, overall therapy progress may be slow or stalled

Let’s give children what they truly need; not just speech, but the support that helps speech come alive 🗣️ I know it can feel like “extra” work or expense, but when we give them what they truly need, that’s when the real breakthroughs begin 💚

🧠✨ Why does my child keep rocking, flapping, or spinning?

These repetitive movements, also known as stimming, are not just habits — they are powerful tools for self-regulation. Children stim to calm down, express excitement, or cope with overwhelming environments.

💬 Instead of thinking “How do I stop this?”
Try asking: “What is my child trying to tell me through this behavior?”

👶 Stimming can look different for every child:
✔️ Rocking back and forth
✔️ Lining up toys
✔️ Repeating sounds
✔️ Jumping or spinning
✔️ Watching lights flicker

If a stim becomes unsafe or disruptive, it’s not about removing it — it’s about finding a safe, meaningful alternative that still meets the sensory need.

💛 Let’s support, not suppress.
💛 Let’s understand, not punish.
💛 Let’s respect the stim.

Looking for occupational therapy sessions tailored to your child’s needs? Book an appointment today!
