You’re invited!🎉

Help us celebrate our new office space by coming to our open house on Sunday, November 9th from 3-4:30 pm! We will have games, crafts, raffles, cookies, an inflatable and prizes to win! All are welcome— past, present or future clients, referral partners we work with, friends and family. The location of our new office is 1510 SW Oralabor Road, Suite B, Ankeny, IA 50023.

We ask those who are able to bring pantry items that we will collect at our open house and donate to a local food bank. If you do not feel able to give, no problem, it is not required to attend!

We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating Homegrown Kids Therapy (for the first time since we opened 2.5 years ago!)🥰

If you have any questions, reach out at 515.216.0091

See you there!💛

There’s something special about working with babies and getting to help families with such a critical piece of their child’s early months— how well they eat! 🍼

Tongue ties, bottle aversions, inefficient suck, incoordination, or weak oral motor skills for bottle feeding are all in our wheelhouse! If you know a baby who is struggling, refer them our way so we can help them too🫶🏻

A child’s phonological awareness skills is a good indicator of literacy success down the road. Proficiency in this skill, along with letter knowledge, print awareness, print motivation, and vocabulary are all foundational skills for great literacy skills!

Are you unsure about your child’s literacy skills? Ask yourself these questions below!

1. Can my child identify and label alphabet letters? And, match the corresponding sound for each letter?
2. Can my child identifying rhyming words?
3. Can my child blend sounds together?
4. If my child grabs a book, do they orientate the book correctly (e.g. title of the book on top rather than upside down)?
5. Does my understand that we read from top to bottom of a page, and left to right when reading sentences?
6. Is my child interested in and enjoy books and reading?

Questions or concerns? Contact us at 515.216.0091 to talk to a speech-language pathologist!

Do you ever wonder…
if mealtimes are this difficult for everyone?

if their picky eating is just a phase or going to stick around?

if it’s normal to constantly worry about choking because your child doesn’t chew their food?

if there’s a reason they may not like meats or a certain texture?

If you’ve asked any of these questions, you may benefit from a free phone consultation with an SLP to talk about your concerns and see if they may benefit from feeding therapy!

Call 515.216.0091 or inquire at kenzie@homegrownkidstherapy.com 🌻
