Today is Speech Language Pathologist day! Congratulations to all of our speechie friends in our community! 💖 You all are amazing!!!

Do you know what speech language pathologists really do?
Yes, we treat kids who can’t say some sounds. Yes, we treat kids who are taking longer to develop language.

But.. we also treat
-the baby who was born with a cleft palate and can’t drink milk safely
-the baby who was born with a hearing impairment/deaf
-the person who had a stroke and is having a hard time communicating with their family
-the person who suffered a TBI and lost cognitive abilities

Tip #3
Model correct speech

For our children with articulation deficits, it is important for us to model correct speech. This helps build the child’s awareness, so they can self-monitor and correct. When modeling correct speech, emphasis the misarticulated word/sound.

This may look like:
Child- dut!
Adult- You see the duCK? I see the duCK too!

-or-

Child- I want nana.
Adult- Sure, I can give you a BAnana.

❌ do not make fun of child for their misarticulations
❌do not imitate incorrect speech
✅ model correct speech

Tip #2:
Play!

Children learn through play. They develop so many skills by connecting and engaging with others in play-based activities.

I know it’s hard to take some time to just play with our kids. I’m guilty of turning on the TV for the kids after a long day of work, so I can get things done at home. More often than not, I find myself saying “give me a second” when they’re seeking my attention for playing purposes.

Whether your child invites you to play with them or they appear uninterested in playing with others, it’s important to know that all children want and need connection. Join your child in whatever interests them.

This can look like:
-playing doctor
-having a tea party
-playing board games

But, it can also look like:
-lining up cars
-watching pebbles fall
-spinning in place

Join your children in play as much as possible!

We are excited to start accepting patients this summer! We are working hard to have all things in order. More details will come soon. In the meantime, engage with us on social media.

Did you know National Speech-Language-Hearing Month starts tomorrow? During the month of May, we will be sharing tips to help you facilitate your loved one’s communication skills.

Tip #1: Talk to your children all day! Whether your babies are still in mom’s belly, infants, toddlers or school-aged kids, talk to them about everything. Even if your children don’t respond or appear to not be paying attention, they are listening.
Breakfast time may look like this: “Mommy is cooking breakfast. We’re eating bacon and eggs today. Mommy is cracking the eggs. Mommy is cutting the bacon. Mommy is turning on the stove. Mmm, do you smell the bacon? Yummmy! Oh, the food is hot! Let’s blow on it to cool it down.” Etc. No matter what you’re doing, there is always something to talk about.
