Embark Speech Therapy is continuing to offer a new small-group feeding class kids ages 2 to 4 called Meal Masters!

This group is designed for children who are picky eaters, have limited food variety, or experience mealtime anxiety or sensory challenges related to food. Meal Masters is led by certified feeding specialists and focuses on play-based food exploration in a supportive, low-pressure environment. It’s limited to just 4-5 children to ensure each child receives individual attention and a positive group experience. It'll be a fun group!

If you're interested or want to learn more, email maureen@embarkspeechtherapy.com 🙂

“Dip It Day” in our Meal Master’s class! YUM! Everyone did a great job trying new textures and smells today. We learned that guacamole “smells gross” and “smells spicy” but it’s “green like a frog!” 😆

We have our next 6 week session starting on Fridays 10:15-11:15 on August 22nd. Email maureen@embarkspeechtherapy.com to enroll!

Practicing WH questions can be fun and seasonal! These types of questions help build language, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Try asking your child these questions during everyday routines like getting ready for the pool or packing for a beach day ☀️🏖️

The best game to target that tricky SH sound! Not only can you get multiple trials when we say “Go Fish” to each other, most of the cards have an SH sound in them. Great practice!

A form of stopping is when a child replaces sounds like ‘SH’ and ‘CH’ with sounds like ‘T’. ASHA notes this pattern usually resolves by age 4-5, but if it’s impacting your child’s intelligibility, we address it sooner! 🩵
