Choose gifts that will help your child's development this holiday season!

Look for toys that support fine motor skills, cognitive development, or speech development. Play that involves hand-eye coordination, bilateral hand use, grip strength, and sensory feedback doesn’t just “pass the time,” it helps build the underlying physical and neurological foundations children need to succeed in school and everyday life.

Not sure which toys will best support your child's growth? Be on the lookout for recommendations by Blossom therapists!

Fun Fact: Speech therapy is about so much more than talking!

Speech language pathologists support kids with understanding language, building social communication, strengthening play skills, and even feeding and swallowing. From learning to follow directions to trying new foods, speech therapy helps children communicate and connect in all the ways that matter.

Every child grows at their own pace, including the school-age years!

From ages 7–10, kids continue developing important skills in communication, social play, motor coordination, and thinking. These milestones can look different for every child.

These lists are meant to guide and support you, not to create pressure. If your kiddo is blooming on their own timeline, that’s okay! And if you ever have questions about your child’s development, Blossom Pediatric Therapy Partners is always here to help.

Did you know simple routines (like getting dressed, eating meals, and playing with toys) help children build strength, coordination, and independence?

Occupational therapy helps families turn these everyday moments into learning opportunities. Every button, bite, and block stack supports your child’s growth and confidence. The more you let your child do on their own, the more opportunities they have to gain independence!

Your child is growing, learning, and gaining independence every day!

Between ages 3 and 6, kids make huge strides in speech, play, coordination, and problem-solving. From telling stories and making friends to hopping, drawing, and asking a million “why” questions. These stages are full of curiosity and creativity!

Remember, every child develops at their own pace. These milestones are guides, not checklists, and every new skill, big or small, is worth celebrating.

Play is therapy's secret tool!

When kids play, they’re learning how to communicate, problem-solve, take turns, and express themselves!

Speech and language skills grow naturally during play because it gives children a chance to use new words, sounds, and social skills in real situations. Whether it’s building blocks, pretending to cook, or playing peek-a-boo, every playful moment helps language bloom.

So next time your child is deep in play, remember, that’s learning in action!

Your toddler is growing, exploring, and learning every day!

Between 2 and 3 years, kids build on the amazing skills they’ve already learned. From forming sentences and jumping with both feet, to playing pretend and solving simple problems.

Remember, every child develops at their own pace. These milestones are guides, not checklists and every step, big or small, is worth celebrating!

October is AAC Awareness Month!

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) helps children share their thoughts, needs, and feelings in ways that work best for them. AAC is not just an iPad - it varies from simple pictures and signs to high-tech devices.

It’s important to remember: AAC doesn’t hold kids back from talking, it supports language, connection, and confidence. Every child deserves a voice.

These milestones highlight common skills many children develop between 18–24 months, but they’re not strict checklists. Some kiddos may hit them earlier, others later, and that’s completely okay.

If you ever have questions about your child’s progress, connecting with your pediatrician or a therapist can give you guidance and reassurance. Remember: growth is a journey, not a race.
