Social communication is more than just talking—it’s knowing how, when, and why we communicate with others. Social (pragmatic) skills help children build friendships, succeed at school, and feel confident in everyday interactions.

In speech therapy, we may target:
• taking turns in conversation 🗣️
• understanding social cues like facial expressions, body language and tone of voice
• staying on topic and using appropriate comments
• asking and answering questions ❓
• problem-solving and taking on others perspective
•playing appropriately with peers

Through play-based activities, real-life scenarios, games, and guided practice—we work on social language skills and make learning meaningful, fun, and functional! Our peer play groups are perfect for targeting these skills 😊

FLUENCY (more commonly known as stuttering)

Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects the smooth, connected flow of speech. Children who stutter may repeat sounds or words, stretch sounds out, or get “stuck” when trying to talk — even though they know exactly what they want to say.

Did you know thay some disfluencies are developmentally typical/appropriate between ages 2–5, especially during rapid language growth. These usually sound like repeating whole words like “Can can we go to the store?” or phrases like “I want, I want some juice.” and often come and go.

🚩 RED FLAGS:
• Repeating sounds or syllables (b-b-ball)
• Stretching sounds (sssssun)
• Pauses or blocks
• Tension in the face or body
• Frustration, avoidance, or saying “I can’t talk”
• Stuttering lasting longer than 6–12 months

Speech therapy can help by:
-Teaching smooth, easy speech strategies
-Reducing tension and pressure
-Building confidence and positive communication experiences
-Teaching parents on how to support fluency at home, not saying “just spit It out” or talking for or over them

Early support can make a BIG difference for our little (and big) ones! If you have questions or concerns about your child’s speech, we’re here to help!

Next up—articulation, phonology and speech sounds!

Articulation refers to how you physically produce speech sounds using your articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, and jaw). Articulation focuses on individual sounds and motor placement. The most common articulation errors that we hear about from parents include substitutions, omissions and distortions.
Substitution—use of another sound in place of the correct sound; ex: “tat” for “cat”
Omission—deletion of a sound; ex: “do” for “dog”
Distortion—unclear production of a sound, typically “s, r, th”

Phonology is about patterns of sound use and how children organize sounds in their language system. Phonology focuses on patterns, not just one sound. The most common phonological processes are:
Final consonant deletion: “ca” for “cat”
Fronting: “tat” for “cat”
Stopping: “tun” for “sun”
Consonant Cluster reduction: “pane” for “plane”
Gliding: “w” for “l” and “r”; examples include “wabbit” for “rabbit” or “wadder” for “ladder”

Speech Sound Developmental Norms
Age 2: /p, b, m, n, h, w, d/
Age 3: /t, f, y, ng, k, g/
Age 4: /v, s, z, l, sh, vh, j/
Age 5: /r, zh (like in “measure”), voiced th (like in “the”)
Age 6: /voiceless th/ (like in “think”)

Let’s get the ball rolling with receptive and expressive language!!

Receptive language is what a child understands. Most often, I hear from parents, “He knows what I’m saying. She understands when I tell her…”. Receptive and expressive language work hand in hand. We must have a good understanding of language to be able to use language effectively and with purpose.

Receptive language includes:
-understanding words and sentences
-following directions (“go get your shoes, sit by the door”)
-answering questions (who, what, when, where, why)
-understanding concepts like colors, sizes, and locations

Expressive language is how a child communicates their thoughts/ideas, wants and needs. We often hear from parents that their child isn’t really speaking, only using a few words, mainly using gestures or not combining words.

Expressive language includes:
-using words, phrases, and sentences
-asking questions
-naming objects and actions
-telling stories or explaining their feelings

Do you feel like your child struggles in any of these areas? Give us a call or shoot us a message and let’s chat! 💬

Play-based speech therapy is a child-centered approach that uses play as the foundation for learning communication skills. 🧸💬

During play-based therapy, children learn through:
•games, toys, and pretend play
•books, songs, and movement
•everyday routines and fun activities

While it looks like “just play,” each activity is intentionally designed to target speech and language goals like:
-building vocabulary and targeting core words
-expanding utterances
-targeting speech sounds
-working on social communication and joint interaction
-following directions, asking and answering questions and turn-taking

💡 Why play-based therapy works:
•keeps children engaged and motivated
•feels natural and stress-free
•encourages real-life communication
•supports learning across settings (home, school, play)

Play-based speech therapy helps children learn to communicate in a way that feels fun and meaningful.

As 2025 comes to a close, I can’t help but pause and reflect on the incredible growth we’ve experienced this year.

In 2025, we welcomed another full-time SLP to our team, served over 160 families in our community, and provided more than 7,500 speech therapy sessions. When I look back at where Little Ones was when I opened in 2022—needing just 13 weekly appointments to pay the lease—I am truly humbled by how far we’ve come.

I take immense pride in the level of care and therapy we provide and can confidently say that I have some of the very best speech-language pathologists working alongside me every single day. My team pours their heart and soul into each session, always putting their clients and families first.

I’m looking forward to another amazing year with this incredible team and am so excited to see how many more families we can support in 2026. Thank you to everyone who has liked, shared, and referred us along the way—your support is what makes Little Ones what it is today.

Little Ones was once just a dream, and I am beyond grateful to live that dream every day.

Thank you, truly.

The new year is a great time for new beginnings🎉⭐️
If you have concerns or are unsure about your child’s speech or language development, gives us a call next week to get on the books in the new year.

What is speech therapy?
Pediatric speech therapy helps children develop the communication skills they need to express their wants and needs, understand others and connect with the world around them

What do we work on?
•Speech sounds (pronunciation, articulation of sounds in words)
•Language skills (understanding and using words)
•Social communication (taking turns, peer and social interaction, play skills, conversation skills)
•Voice and fluency (hoarseness, nasality, stuttering)

Our therapy sessions are play-based and child-centered, using games, toys, books, and activities to make learning fun while targeting each child’s specific goals.

Early speech therapy can:
✔️ Build confidence
✔️ Improve communication at home and school
✔️ Support long-term academic and social success

If you think that we can help your child in one or more of these areas, give us a call! 985-318-7506 or shoot an email at hello@littleonesspeech.org
