🤔 Did you know chewing does more than help with eating?

Learning to chew helps develop the jaw and tongue coordination needed for feeding and later speech clarity. It builds stability, teaches the tongue how to move side to side, and supports overall oral motor development.

If a child is not transitioning to textured foods by around 12–15 months, or is still heavily relying on purees past 18 months, reach out to us about a feeding therapy evaluation. Early support can prevent bigger challenges later.

Feeding is not just about nutrition — it is a developmental skill 😋

💛 Child-led therapy is intentional, not passive.

When we follow a child’s interests, we lower pressure and increase engagement — which is exactly when more authentic, spontaneous language shows up. Kids learn best when communication is meaningful to them, not when they are being prompted nonstop or expected to perform.

The goal is not compliance. The goal is skill-building. When motivation is high, progress tends to follow 😉

All behavior is a form of communication.

When a child “acts out,” they are not trying to give you a hard time — they are having a hard time. Behavior is often the visible signal of an unmet need, a lagging skill, sensory overwhelm, fatigue, frustration, or difficulty expressing wants and feelings.

If we focus only on stopping the behavior, we miss the message. But when we get curious instead of reactive, we can ask the real question: what is this child trying to tell me?

Our goal should never be compliance for the sake of convenience. Our goal is to build skills — communication, regulation, flexibility, and connection — so the child no longer needs the behavior to be understood.

When we support the root, the behavior naturally changes.

A tongue tie isn’t just about speech — it can affect feeding, facial growth, and sleep when it limits function.
That’s why an SLP evaluates how the tongue moves and works, not just how it looks.
Not every child needs a release — but every child deserves a functional assessment. 💛 Reach out to us for a free consultation!

🌟🩷SLPs focus on speech, language, and communication skills. From articulation to understanding and using language, they help with the foundation of effective communication.
🌟🩵OTs, on the other hand, focus on helping individuals develop the skills needed for everyday activities. They might work on fine motor skills, coordination, and even sensory processing to help clients perform daily tasks with confidence.
💛 Both are essential for overall development and independence, but each has a unique approach to supporting individuals! 💪

Many late talkers benefit from AAC because it helps them learn how communication works long before their speech fully develops.
Using an AAC device with familiar items—like animal figurines—lets them practice cause and effect (“I tap it → I get something / someone responds”) while also boosting vocabulary in a fun, concrete way.

When a child taps “cow” while holding a cow toy, they’re learning:
✔️ the word
✔️ the meaning
✔️ the power of communicating
✔️ how to make their needs and ideas heard

AAC doesn’t replace speech. It supports it.
And when communication feels easier, kids talk more, not less. 💛🐄

As great parents, you always anticipate your child’s needs before they need to communicate them. However, to help with their expressive language and critical thinking skills, utilize environmental sabotage to get them out of their comfort zone to create opportunities to communicate! 🩷🩵
