Birthday themed sensory play during this week’s toddler group! 🎂🎉

Using multiple senses at the same time stimulates learning and language development, especially descriptive words such as colors & textures! 🌈

We had a week full of wins! 🌟

Some of our clients…
✅ produced a /k/ sound for the first time
✅ said their first two-word combinations
✅ independently asked a peer for a turn
✅ wrote an email advocating for themselves & their stutter

Each small step towards a goal is something to celebrate. We love sharing in this with our kiddos!

We love when siblings join our sessions! It helps with carryover and can be very motivating. Plus, explaining the rules of a game is a great stretch of any child’s language skills.

Just another benefit of in-home therapy! ✨

Sometimes the best way to get your child talking is to say nothing at all! 🤫

Try pausing for 5 - 7 seconds after saying something to your child. Show that you are waiting expectantly by raising your eyebrows, smiling, and opening your mouth.

This 'pregnant pause' encourages your child to take a communicative turn, while also providing them time to process information and to form their response!

We love these toy recommendations by Busy Toddler!

When considering toys for your child, look for items that are open-ended and can be used in a variety of ways. These toys foster imagination, problem-solving, and language skills!

IT'S TIME TO TALK *HOLIDAY TOY LISTS* 🎁

It's easy as adults to view toys as nothing more than "stuff" or things-kids-like or what we buy them as gifts...but toys are much more important than that. And it's time we recognize their value. 💛

We know that play is the work of childhood (philosopher Jean Piaget said that) but have you considered that *toys* are the *tools* for this work?

TOYS ARE A BIG DEAL...and having the right toys can make (or break) our kids' ability to play.
