To parents of children with already identified communication delays- feel free to scroll past this post, you’ve already identified your child benefits from support and these numbers are not relevant - your child’s progress is ❤️

To parents considering a speech and language evaluation: It can be really difficult for parents to know when to get a speech and language evaluation - especially when they are constantly bombarded with various information and it’s difficult to know what to believe or what is best for your child.

It also gets tricky because there is a HUGE range of average communication development, and communication skills are way more and way broader than I could include in a “quick” guide. As a result, I always recommend to get an evaluation if you - or anyone else - thinks one is needed. Often that means trusting your gut as a parent, but I think it’s equally important to trust if someone else thinks it’s necessary too.

The truth is: some kids qualify and demonstrate a need for intervention and some don’t- you won’t know unless you see a speech pathologist! AND just because a child does not qualify at one time in their life, does not mean they will not at a later time.

And last: there’s NO SHAME in getting your child needed support. The stigma around getting therapy for kids has GOT TO GO!

Due to the threat of severe weather, Canebrake Speech is closing early today. Stay safe- follow the advice of James Spann! 😉 Have a way to get weather updates and warnings. Go to your safe space- interior room on the lowest floor. Use your bike/batting/football helmets to protect those noggins!

It’s time to finish up those Christmas lists! Here’s my annual roundup of toys that foster development of speech and language skills, and you can snag all these by shopping local too!! 1.)Let’s start with arts and crafts gifts. Sticker books, activity books, play doh, paints- there are so many good opportunities to TALK while you play. Lindsey’s in Demopolis has a great selection of Water Wow paint with water books. These are a favorite of mine- all the fun with no mess! The Mustard Seed in Demopolis has Melting Shark and Melting Unicorn toys that allow you to create and recreate crafty creatures. 2.) books books books- it’s no secret- they’re the best! Look for books that have repetitive phrases such as Eric Clarke’s Brown Bear/Panda Bear/Polar Bear books. Pause while reading and let your littles fill in the repeated words/phrases in these stories. Books with rhyme, like Doctor Suess books, help build phonological awareness which is important for emerging literacy skills. Lindsey’s has a big selection of wonderful books with rhyme and repetitive phrases. Books paired with an associated toy are a plus as you can act out the action and dialogue with the toy. This can help with story retell and with giving a story real life context. The Mustard Seed has several really cute book and stuffed character combos that would be so fun. 3.)Dress up and pretend play- I can’t stress the importance of pretend/imaginative play enough. It’s the best way to build conversational speech and to work on social language. You can get as elaborate as you like with this type of play with costumes and play sets, or you can keep it simple by using items you already have to act out pretend scenes (stuffed animals, toy vehicles, kitchen items). Follow your child’s lead and go with what interests him/her! The Mustard Seed has some really cute dress up options. 4.) Finally, keep it low tech. Choose things that can be played with in a variety of ways and that invite conversation. Narrate your play and that of your child if your child is too young to have conversations. Puzzles, blocks and other “manipulatives”, stuffed animals/dolls, toy vehicles are great for this type of play.
I hope this info can help you finish up your Christmas lists. 🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas and happy shopping!

It’s Canebrake Speech’s 2 year anniversary! The time has definitely flown. Here I am the day I got my key, sitting on the floor of my empty office. That day, I could have never foreseen that I would be doing teletherapy from my home in the middle of a pandemic. It’s been a wonderful two years, and I’m so thankful for every one of my Canebrake Speech kids. I can’t wait to be back in that office TOGETHER!

In order to follow recommendations for social distancing, Canebrake Speech is providing all services via teletherapy at this time. It’s been exciting doing things a new way, and the kids seem to enjoy it too! I’m so happy that children can continue to receive their services while we do our parts to keep our community healthy.
