If you’ve been thinking, “We’ll deal with speech after the holidays,” here’s a gentle reminder why waiting can make things harder — not easier.

School is closed, you're (hopefully) using your well-deserved PTO...
There is no better time to book an evaluation!
Many clinics offer evals only during school hours, avoid this scheduling conflict over the holiday break!

The weeks between now and the new year are some of the most valuable for early support.

The good news?
At Remedy Speech Therapy, booking an evaluation is incredibly easy.
✨ You can book online, anytime — no phone tag, no waiting for office hours.
✨ Choose a time that works for your family in just a few clicks.
✨ We’re proud to be the only clinic in the area that offers true online booking for speech evaluations.

The holidays are busy — we get it.
That’s exactly why we made the first step simple.

Your future self (and your child) will thank you. 💛

Ever wondered how to encourage your toddler to use more words?
That’s where communication temptations come in — and they’re one of our favorite early language strategies.

Communication temptations are little setups that naturally motivate a child to communicate—using gestures, sounds, signs, or words.

Here’s how they work:

🍪 1. Put a favorite snack in a clear container
Your child wants it, but needs you to help open it → communication opportunity!

🧼 2. Pause during a fun activity
Bubbles… stop!
Kids learn to request “more!” in the moment they want it most.

🚗 3. “Accidentally” give them the wrong item
They ask for a car; you hand them a sock → communication spark. 😅

🔒 4. Place a favorite toy slightly out of reach
Not inaccessible — just enough to encourage “help,” pointing, or naming.

🎈 5. Create a silly routine and pause
Kids LOVE to fill the silence with a word, sound, or gesture.

Why does this work?
✨ Children communicate best when the motivation is theirs.
✨ It builds confidence naturally.
✨ It teaches them that communication gets results.
✨ It turns everyday moments into learning moments.

Communication temptations are gentle, respectful, and incredibly effective for late talkers and early communicators. 🌱💬

Our least favorite words? "Let's wait and see..."

The earlier we support a child’s communication, sensory needs, or motor skills…
the easier it is for their brain to learn, grow, and make new connections.

Early intervention isn’t about “fixing” a child.
It’s about giving them tools sooner, when learning is naturally faster and more flexible.

Here’s why it makes such a difference:

🌱 1. Young brains learn quickly
Babies and toddlers build skills through thousands of tiny daily experiences.
The earlier we guide those experiences, the stronger the foundation becomes.

💬 2. Skills stack on each other
Gestures → words → phrases → sentences
Core strength → play → fine motor → handwriting
Small gains early lead to big confidence later.

🤝 3. Behavior improves when communication improves
Many challenging behaviors decrease when kids can express what they want, need, or feel.

🌿 4. Parents get support too
Early intervention teaches YOU the strategies that make everyday moments more successful.

🏫 5. It reduces frustration for everyone
Kids are happier and more regulated when they feel understood.

And most importantly…

💛 Early intervention isn’t a race.
It’s a head start.

If you’ve been wondering whether to get your child evaluated for speech, feeding, sensory, or myofunctional needs, we’re here to help you get clarity — gently and without pressure.

Every child has a sensory cup - the amount of movement, touch, sound, and input they need to feel “just right.”

Some kids have small sensory cups:
✨ They fill up quickly
✨ Too much noise, movement, or touch can feel overwhelming
✨ They may prefer calm, quiet spaces
✨ They need gentle, predictable input to stay regulated

Other kids have big sensory cups:
✨ They need LOTS of movement and input before they feel regulated
✨ Jumping, climbing, running, crashing, spinning
✨ Seeking deep pressure or big hugs
✨ Their cup takes more to fill — so their bodies keep moving until it does

Neither cup is “better” or “easier.”
They’re just different nervous systems doing their absolute best.

Occupational therapy doesn’t try to shrink or stretch a child’s cup —
it helps them understand their cup, meet their sensory needs, and feel confident in their bodies.

Your child’s cup isn’t the problem.
Their cup is communication. 💛

This is one of the most common questions we’re asked — and we get it. 100%.

You want answers.
You want a plan.
You want to know your child will be okay.
And honestly? We want those answers for you, too. 💛

But the truth is…
There is no one-size-fits-all timeline.
Every child’s brain learns differently.

Progress depends on things like:
✨ The child’s unique strengths + challenges
✨ How often they attend sessions
✨ Home practice (even 3–5 minutes helps!)
✨ Co-occurring factors (attention, airway, sensory needs, etc.)
✨ Their motivation, confidence, and readiness
✨ How quickly new habits stick

Some children make huge leaps in weeks.
Others grow slowly, steadily, beautifully — in their own time.

Our promise to you is this:
We will always be honest about progress.
We will celebrate every win — big or tiny.
We will adjust goals as your child grows.
And we will walk with you for as long as your child needs us — no more, no less.

If you ever have questions about your child’s timeline, goals, or what to expect next, please ask.
You deserve to feel informed, supported, and confident in your child’s journey. 💛

We’re too busy melting into a puddle.

(But don’t worry-we’ll fix it…..eventually ☺️🫶🏼)

If your child is showing ANY of these signs…
Congrats — you’re raising a very confident communicator:

✨ Negotiates bedtime like an attorney
✨ Says “no” with the conviction of a world leader
✨ Has a favorite cup, spoon, chair, sock, and parking spot
✨ Narrates their entire day like they’re on a talk show
✨ Loses their mind if you sing the wrong verse of their favorite song
✨ Has questions… about your questions
✨ And the big one: “Mommy, I do it myself.”

We love a strong language skillset.
We ALSO love helping toddlers use all that power for good. 😂
