It’s Easter season and that means… lots of egg hunts!!

🐣✨ EGG-citing speech therapy fun! ✨🐣

Who knew plastic Easter eggs could do so much more than hold candy?! 🥚💬

Here are a few of our favorite ways to turn egg hunts into speech + language magic:
🌸 Hide picture cards inside eggs to target vocabulary & articulation
🌸 Practice WH questions: “What’s inside?” “Where did you find it?”
🌸 Build sentences: “I found a ___ in the ___!”
🌸 Work on following directions with multi-step egg hunts
🌸 Target sounds by filling eggs with objects that match your child’s speech goals

Bonus: the motivation level = 💯 🙌

Learning + play = the sweetest combo 💗

Save this for your next egg hunt and tag us if you try it! 🐰✨

Have you heard of the SpeechEasy device?

The SpeechEasy is a small device worn in the ear—similar to a hearing aid—that can help some people who stutter speak more fluently. It works by slightly altering the way the user hears their own voice, using techniques called delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and frequency altered feedback (FAF). These changes can help reduce stuttering for certain individuals.

✨ Why some people find it helpful:
• Encourages smoother speech patterns
• Can reduce blocks and repetitions
• Small, discreet, and easy to wear
• Often used alongside speech therapy for best results

💬 Important to know:
The SpeechEasy isn’t a “cure” for stuttering, and it doesn’t work the same way for everyone. A speech-language pathologist can help determine if it might be a good option as part of a personalized therapy plan.

At Buckhead Speech Specialists, we love helping families explore tools, strategies, and therapy approaches that support confident communication.

📩 Have questions about stuttering or fluency therapy? Send us a message—we’re happy to help!

💌 Speech Therapy Valentine Fun for Little Talkers! 💌

One of our FAVORITE Valentine’s books for toddlers + preschoolers is Little Blue Truck’s Valentine 🚛🐷🐮

Here are easy ways to turn it into a speech-boosting activity at home or in therapy:
❤️ Read it more than once (repetition = magic!)
🐮 Play with farm animals + a truck and model animal & vehicle sounds
📖 Match toy animals to the pages in the book
🎨 Make Valentine hearts and “deliver” them like Little Blue
🌾 Create a sensory bin with animals, hearts, and scooping tools

Perfect for late talkers, minimally verbal toddlers, and preschoolers — just keep it playful, simple, and fun!

✨ Remember: sounds, play, and connection come first.

✨ Language Milestones for 2-Year-Olds ✨
At age two, little ones are growing into BIG communicators! Here are some common language milestones we look for around this age:

🗣️ Vocabulary boom: 50+ words and growing
🧩 Two-word phrases: “More juice,” “Mama help,” “Go outside”
👂 Understands simple directions: “Get your shoes,” “Come sit here”
👋 Uses gestures + words: pointing, waving, showing objects
🐶 Names familiar items: animals, body parts, toys
🗨️ Starting to ask simple questions: “What’s that?”

Every child develops at their own pace — but if you’re unsure about your toddler’s speech and language, early support makes a big difference.

🌈 Buckhead Speech Specialists is here to help your child grow confident, clear, and connected. 💛

At Buckhead Speech Specialists, we love turning holiday fun into meaningful language practice—and our Elf on the Shelf is the perfect helper! Each morning’s surprise gives children a natural opportunity to practice WH questions: “Where is the elf?”, “What is he doing?”, “Who is with him?”, and even “Why do you think he chose that spot?”

By connecting these questions to something visual, silly, and exciting, our elf helps kids strengthen comprehension and expressive language skills in a playful, low-pressure way. A little holiday magic goes a long way in supporting communication! 🎄✨

✨Did you know children learn SO much through play? ✨

This sweet kiddo isn’t “just playing” with cars and animals—he’s building important speech and language skills! 🚗🐑

👉 Rolling a car can teach action words like “go, stop, fast, slow.”
👉 Animal toys build vocabulary and sounds (“baa,” “sheep,” “farm”).
👉 Pretend play helps kids learn to problem-solve, take turns, and grow their imagination.

At Buckhead Speech Specialists, we believe the best learning happens when children are engaged, curious, and having fun 💚.
