I spy… something orange, round, and spooky! Halloween themed "I Spy" can help kiddos boost their language skills while exploring their home for Halloween fun! Perfect for describing words, naming categories, and chatting together to build vocabulary! Wishing you a spook-tacularly speechy Halloween from all of us at Driskell Speech Services! 🎃

At Driskell Speech, we believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and inclusive Trick-or-Treat experience. One that should be accessible for kids with different abilities—because celebrating together is the best treat of all.

We had the opportunity to participate in the Ada Community Baby Shower this evening. Skye, Lauren, and Sandra took time out of their busy schedules to represent us and invest in others! Looking forward to doing this again next year!

October is Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Month.

DLD affects how children understand and use language — it’s a hidden but common condition that impacts 1 in 14 children. With the right support, these children can thrive in communication, learning, and confidence.

At Driskell Speech Services, we’re dedicated to helping every child find their voice. Let’s raise awareness and make their voices heard!

✨Teamwork in Action ✨

A few of our amazing Driskell Speech Services team was out at one of our school sites this week performing hearing screenings for students.

Early identification makes a big difference in a child’s speech and language development — and we’re proud to play a part in helping every student communicate with confidence!

A huge thank you to our dedicated team members for bringing care, compassion, and professionalism to every screening. ✨

Point to objects and name them as you play (“That’s a red ball!” “Let’s wash hands!”). Kids learn best when they hear words in real situations!

Instead of saying “What do you want?”, try “Do you want the blue cup or the red cup?” Choices prompt your child to say their answer and expand vocabulary naturally.

If your child says, “Dog bark,” you can respond, “Yes! The dog is barking loud!” This helps model full sentences and new words.

Songs with repetition (like “Old MacDonald”) help kids remember words and sounds in a fun way!

Books are language gold! Pause to point out pictures, describe what’s happening, and ask questions
