You don’t need jump scares. You’ve got real life.

The “focus” comments. The after-school meltdowns. The guilt that sneaks in when you start to wonder if it’s you.

It’s not a haunted house. It’s the everyday hard no one else sees. And you keep showing up anyway.

🎃 Drop a “same” if you’re living in this house too. Or share this with the parent who gets it.

Ever watch your child walk to another room and come back empty-handed? Or see them start a project full of excitement only to forget the steps halfway through?

That’s nonverbal working memory at work. It’s how the brain keeps a mental picture of what’s happening and what comes next. When the picture isn’t clear or can’t be help on for very long, kids can forget steps, get stuck mid-task, or need extra reminders.

With the right strategies, kids can get better at holding onto that mental picture. They start following steps more on their own and feel confident in everyday activities like finishing homework, putting away toys, or finishing a craft.

In therapy, we use research-backed approaches to help kids practice this skill so daily life feels easier and they can shine on their own. If you’re in Texas, send me a message. I’d love to chat about how we can support your child.

🏆 Big news! Playhouse Speech Therapy is officially Mom-Approved by DFWChild readers.

I’m so grateful to the families who nominated us. Helping kids grow communication and executive function skills is what I love to do, and knowing parents trust me to support their child’s everyday success means the world.

Every Facebook review and Google review also makes a huge difference. They help other families find us and see that there’s support available for their child too.

If you’ve been wondering how therapy could help your child remember steps, get started on tasks, or problem-solve without meltdowns, send me a message. I’d love to chat about strategies that actually work.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the reminder loop with your child? Most parents I meet are caught in this cycle, and it’s exhausting for everyone.

Reminders can get something done in the moment, but they don’t teach the skills kids need to do it on their own. That’s why it feels like the second you stop reminding… everything falls apart.

What really helps is breaking tasks down, teaching strategies step by step, and giving kids chances to practice without all the pressure. That’s where independence grows.

If this sounds like your home, know that you’re not failing and your child isn’t ignoring you. Their brain just needs support to learn new ways of managing. That’s exactly what I help families with in therapy.

💛 Save this post for the next time you feel stuck in the reminder loop.

If you’re tired of saying “focus” for the hundredth time today…you are so not alone.

Kids with ADHD aren’t ignoring you. Their brains just process things differently, so holding a plan in mind can be tricky.

Reminders might get them back on track for a moment, but they don’t actually teach the skill. What really helps are little tools that work with their brains: imagining what “done” looks like, talking themselves through steps, and breaking bigger tasks into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

💛 Save this for the next time you catch yourself repeating “just focus” (again). You’ve got this.

You know you’re working with an executive function-focused SLP when…

✔️ Your child starts thinking ahead
✔️ Morning routines actually feel doable
✔️ Social cues don’t always need explaining because they’re learning to pause, check in, and adapt

You didn’t just get tips.

You got a deeper understanding of how your child’s brain works and how to support their independence one small moment at a time.

🌱 The changes are subtle.
But they stack up in the most powerful ways.
💬 Tag a parent who might be seeing these wins too or one who needs the reminder that this progress is possible.

We hear it all the time: “If you’re not teaching my child to ‘act appropriately,’ how will they learn social skills?”

Here’s the thing—we don’t teach social skills the way most people think about them.

Instead, we teach:
🧠 Social executive function skills—helping kids understand, plan, and problem-solve in social situations.
👀 Social communication skills—understanding their own communication style, interpreting others, and making informed choices.
💬 Self-advocacy—learning to express their needs, set boundaries, and navigate relationships in a way that honors their neurotype.

Our goal is never to make a child sound neurotypical—it’s to equip them with the tools to engage authentically, confidently, and on their own terms.

That number is a hard pill to swallow.

But we can support our neurodivergent, ADHD kids by celebrating with them how special they are. They are not the sum of their mistakes but are actually uniquely gifted with their beautiful brain.

And some things can be challenging like executive function skills. But we can use their strengths to help support what is challenging.

Let’s make 2024 the year we can put more of those strengths based messages out to ADHD and neurodivergent kids.

“Can you diagnose my child with Childhood Apraxia of Speech?”
Being able to use verbal speech and imitate are the key indicators in order to provide a diagnosis.

“What if my child is non-speaking and I think it may be due to apraxia?”
If your child is non-speaking or minimally verbal but displays characteristics of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), a qualified SLP can provide a diagnosis of Suspected Childhood Apraxia of Speech (sCAS).

Suspect your child has CAS? Book a consult with me and we can discuss further! Link in bio.
