〰️ Show caregivers exactly how to carry those strategies over at home
〰️ Create a supportive small-group environment where kids get lots of 1:1 support
〰️ Provide a cost-effective option compared to individual therapy sessions

The class can be submitted for out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

and sang “Bubbles, Bubbles,” in our Mae-Mae & Me class yesterday and it was a hit! We found it through !

Music is such a powerful tool for early language development.

Songs are:

〰️Engaging: The melody, rhythm, and movement naturally capture attention. And joint attention can be a very powerful tool in early language development!

〰️ Repetitive: Repeated words and phrases help early language learners hear words over and over in a meaningful way

〰️ Predictable: When children start to anticipate what comes next, they’re more likely to join in with a word, sound, or gesture!

With “Bubbles, Bubbles,” you can pause before key words to see if your child will fill them in, model simple phrases, like “more bubbles!”, and repeat focus words again and again (e.g.,, bubbles, pop).

I made this account to put a face to my business and as a fun way to share speech and language tips with families. I didn’t expect to connect with so many other business owners and related services providers or even find some of my closest colleagues through this platform. I was naive to the powers of social media!

Something else came out of social media this week that I’m excited to share!

I was offered the opportunity to be a creator this year. I’ve been using their products for many years now and am looking forward to sharing how they fit into my play-based sessions:)

Also shout out to who encouraged me to apply😊

At 2 years old, a child is expected to use at least 50 words. When a child is not meeting this milestone it's recommended to reach out to a speech therapist for a consultation.

The early childhood years are crucial for language development, so starting intervention as soon as possible is best.

Prior to starting speech therapy, observe the way a child communicates. This information will be helpful to share with a speech therapist when you're able to get started.

Parent involvement can look different for every child. The way it looks may also depend on what is being worked on in a session.

For the most part, I see the most progress with my clients when parents are involved in some way.

Parents can watch, take an active role, ask questions or carry over the work at home. All of these are great ways to be involved and supporting a child's speech and language growth.

See if you can find a way to be a participant in your child's next speech therapy session.

Jargon is a natural stage of a child's language development.

It typically follows babbling, as a child starts to imitate the conversational pattern of adult speech. As children begin to produce 2-3 word combinations, jargon is often produced.

When a child uses jargon, it can help to provide the child with the words they may be trying to produce. So, when a child says "asdfkie slikd moothie!", the adult can respond "Let's make a smoothie!," given the shared context and noting the one true word the child produced.

To reduce communication pressure, it's helpful to make a guess or add onto a child's jargon, rather than ask for clarification or repetition.

If a child becomes frustrated with not being understood, an adult can ask the child to "show me" to help determine what the child may be saying.
