Choosing a therapy approach, program, intervention or product can be overwhelming—for both families and professionals. With so many appealing options, it can be hard to know what truly helps and what is just strategically marketed. 🧐

Effective approaches are grounded in the 3 pillars of evidence-based practice:

🔬Research
👩🏻‍⚕️Clinical expertise
🦋Individual needs

With so many new approaches and to help sort through it all, we found this prompt in ChatGPT or Google to be really useful…

⭐️“Is [treatment/supplement/therapy] evidence-based for [autism/apraxia/speech delay/scoliosis/feeding etc.]? What does research say and what is the quality of the research? Are there risks or controversies? Who recommends it, and who profits from it?” ⭐️

Let us know if you get a chance to try it and if it’s helpful!

We had a wonderful time at our pilot of Play & Say in our Jacksonville office! Play and Say is a fun, interactive class to support early speech and language development through songs, movement, play-based learning, and caregiver education. It was so special watching families connect, communicate, and learn together. We’re excited to continue offering this group Monday mornings as a way to empower caregivers and help little ones build strong communication foundations from the start. 🫧🩵

Happy Friday from Mr. Chef! 👨‍🍳🎉☀️

We love using puppets in speech therapy—especially this guy, who’s been with us for over 10 years! 🥹 Mr. Chef helps us feel comfortable, get silly, and stay engaged while practicing important communication skills. Research shows that puppets increase engagement, support language development and encourage participation. Here’s to more progress and plenty of laughs with our puppet friends! 🩷
