We had a wonderful time learning from Ashley Rice MS, CCC-SLP this week!

She presented to a wonderful group of parents and caregivers on the topic of neurodiversity affirming speech therapy, Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) levels and tips as well as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). 📱💻🗣️💚

We can’t wait for our next parent events in May! Be on the lookout.

❄️ Play With a Purpose – Winter Edition! ❄️

Snuggle up with Bear Snores On and turn storytime into meaningful speech + language practice. 🐻✨

This cozy, predictable story is perfect for:
• WH-questions (Who came? What is Bear doing? Why did he wake up?)
• Sequencing (first → next → last)
• Talking about feelings (sleepy, surprised, excited)
• Acting out character actions + making animal sounds

Reading doesn’t have to feel like “work” to build skills — it can feel like connection. 💙

Save this post to try during your next cozy read, and comment “WINTER” if you’d like more at-home activity ideas like this!

💬 Looking for a simple way to support more natural, low‑pressure communication at home?

Try swapping rapid‑fire questions for declarative language!

These small shifts can build connection, reduce performance pressure, and encourage spontaneous communication.

Want to learn more? Join our FREE virtual parent event on February 25th to dive deeper into neuro‑affirming communication strategies that truly support your child. 💛

❄️ Play With a Purpose: Winter Edition – Snow Drift Dig ❄️

Looking for a simple, low-prep activity that builds real communication skills? Try a Snow Drift Dig at home!

Fill a bin with insta-snow, rice, beans, or packing peanuts and hide mini winter toys inside. As your child digs, you can model:
✨ Action words (“dig, scoop, pour”)
✨ Descriptions (“The fox is cold!”)
✨ Sequencing (“First I dug, then I found…”)
✨ Pretend play scenarios (“The snowplow is coming!”)

This sensory-rich activity supports speech sounds, vocabulary, verbs, and narrative skills — all through play.

❄️ Try this activity this week and tag us in your Snow Drift Dig so we can cheer you on!

Echolalia isn’t “just repeating.”
It’s communication. 💬✨

Many children — especially gestalt language processors — use scripts, songs, and familiar phrases to express BIG thoughts and feelings.

“Up, up, and away!” might mean Let’s go!
“Chase is on the case!” might mean I’ll help!
Singing a favorite song might mean I’m tired or I need comfort.

When we shift from correcting to curious, we begin to see the meaning behind the words. 🤍

Join us for our FREE virtual event on February 25th (5–6pm) to learn:
✨ What echolalia really is
✨ How AAC supports communication & autonomy
✨ Practical strategies you can use at home
✨ How to support language through a neuro-affirming lens

Perfect for parents of autistic, minimally speaking, or gestalt language processing children.

❄️ PLAY WITH A PURPOSE – Winter Edition ❄️

Snow days (or chilly afternoons) = the perfect excuse to sneak in speech practice through play.

Try Snowball Toss Words at home: grab paper balls, socks, or pom-poms and turn articulation practice into a movement game your child will actually want to do.

Each toss =
🗣 Say a target sound
🔁 Repeat it a few times
💬 Use it in a sentence
🤸 Add movement (clap, jump, stomp!)
🧠 Sort by sound
✨ Mix in describing words

Simple. Active. Meaningful. And no worksheets required.

Tell us in the comments:
👉 What sound are you working on right now? (/s/, /k/, /r/, something else?)
OR
👉 Drop a ❄️ if you want more seasonal at-home therapy ideas!
