🌊 The Depths of Play

At first glance, play might look simple—blocks, pretend food, dress-up clothes. But just like an iceberg, there’s so much more beneath the surface.

Above the water: giggles, movement, creativity

Below the surface: problem-solving, emotional regulation, motor planning, social connection, language development

At Fundamentals, we see play for what it truly is: the foundation of learning, growth, and connection. When children play, they’re not “just playing” — they’re building the skills they’ll use for life.

Play➡️ Regulation ➡️ Connection ➡️ Language!

Here at a Competent Communcators, we emphasize connection before compliance. That means following your child’s lead so they can learn to speak about what is important to them! That is how real connection is fostered which will lead to more and more language!

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the key to unlocking our fundamental human right of COMMUNICATION!

AAC is about empowering connection.

Whether it’s through simple gestures and signs or advanced speech-generating devices and communication apps, these tools allow individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs.

Who benefits? Anyone whose natural speech is difficult to understand or isn’t enough to meet all their daily communication needs.

Every person deserves a way to be heard. AAC can be one of them!

If your child could benefit from AAC, visit our website www.competenrcommunicators.org or email us at info@competentcommunicators.org. We provide AAC evaluations for families near East Providence, RI!

We are a small, pediatric Speech Language Pathologist Practice located in East Providence, RI. Kaitlin Mulcahey, SLP specializes in Natural Language Acquisition and is Sensory trained.

A message from Kaitlin Mulcahey -

My name is Kaitlin Mulcahey M.S., CCC-SLP and I am a pediatric speech and language pathologist and the owner of Competent Communicators LLC. I am certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association and licensed to provide speech and language therapy in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I graduated from Loyola University Maryland with my Masters degree in Speech and Language Pathology after graduating with my undergraduate degree from The University of South Florida.

I strongly believe that each child is unique and has individual strengths and needs. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all recommendations regarding intervention and therapy for children. Though I work with children with a variety of speech and language disorders, I am particularly passionate about working with autistic children. I have completed a variety of continuing education in order to provide best-practice when working with neurodivergent children. My therapy approach is child-centered, play-based, neurodiveristy affirming therapy that focuses on the whole child. I am also passionate about incorporating families into therapy for best outcomes.

I am trained in providing therapy using the NLA (Natural Language Acquisition) framework for gestalt language processors. I am also trained in ASD from the Inside Out which is a developmental approach for working with autistic children. Additionally, I have years of experience completing AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) evaluations for pediatric clients who would benefit from use of an AAC device.

I look forward to meeting you and your child!
