So grateful for an incredible weekend at our clinic! ❤️

We had the opportunity to partner with the Bartlett Fire Department and Kevin Galloway to host a Life Saving Class for new parents—focused on the basics of CPR and how to respond to choking emergencies.

Watching parents gain hands-on experience and confidence in these critical skills was truly powerful. Knowledge like this can make all the difference in an emergency.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and took the time to learn how to keep their little ones safe! 🚒🫶

✨ Welcome to the team, Tatiana! ✨

We’re so excited to introduce our newest Occupational Therapist!

Tatiana grew up in Downers Grove, IL, and became an OT to help individuals reach their full potential. She has a passion for working with the pediatric population, focusing on bringing creativity, play, and joy into everyday life. 💛

When she’s not helping little ones thrive, you can find her enjoying arts & crafts, practicing yoga, or playing board games! 🎨🧘‍♀️🎲

We’re thrilled to have her on board—be sure to give her a warm welcome! 👏

April is Autism Acceptance Month 🧩

At our clinic, we celebrate and support every child for who they are—not just for the skills they’re working toward. Autism is not something to “fix”—it’s a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world, and every child deserves to feel understood, respected, and empowered.
As speech, feeding, and occupational therapists, our goal is to help children build meaningful communication, develop functional skills, and thrive in ways that honor their unique strengths and needs.

This month—and every month—we are committed to:

✨ Listening to our families

✨ Supporting neurodiversity

✨ Creating inclusive, child-led therapy spaces

✨ Celebrating every win, big or small

Let’s move beyond awareness and into acceptance, inclusion, and advocacy. 💙

April is Occupational Therapy Month 💛

Today we’re celebrating the incredible impact of OT in helping children grow, play, and thrive! From building fine motor skills and sensory regulation to increasing independence in everyday routines, occupational therapy supports the skills that matter most in a child’s daily life.
In our clinic, OT is all about:

✨ Strengthening little hands for big tasks

✨ Supporting sensory processing and regulation

✨ Building independence in feeding, dressing, and play

✨ Helping every child feel confident and capable

We are so grateful for our amazing occupational therapists who make therapy fun, meaningful, and empowering for every child they work with.

Join us in celebrating the power of OT this month! 🧡

🐰🥚 Easter Egg Hunts with a Speech + OT Twist! 🥚🐰
Make your Easter egg hunt fun and functional this year by turning it into a speech AND occupational therapy activity!

✨ Try these simple ideas:

🗣️ Speech & Language Skills

Following Directions + Concepts

➡️ “First find a yellow egg and put it on the table”

➡️ “Find a big pink egg”

Targets: colors, size, sequencing, and listening skills!

🗣️ Articulation Practice

Hide small objects or pictures inside eggs for target sounds (/s/, /r/, /f/).

Have your child practice the word when they open each egg!

📚 Build Vocabulary + Phrases

Place pictures or new words inside eggs and practice:

➡️ “I see a ___”

➡️ “I found a ___”

Great for expanding expressive language!

Occupational Therapy Skills- #
💪 Fine Motor Strength

Opening plastic eggs = hand strength & coordination

👉 Use harder-to-open eggs for an extra challenge

🎯 Pincer Grasp Practice

Place small items (stickers, pom-poms) inside eggs

👉 Encourage picking up with fingertips

🏃‍♀️ Gross Motor + Movement

Have kids crawl, reach, squat, or climb to find eggs

👉 Add directions like “jump to the egg” or “crawl under the table”
Learning through play is one of the BEST ways to build communication and motor skills—and this activity keeps kids engaged and excited!

Save this for your Easter sessions or at-home fun! 🐣💬

🍀 Leprechaun traps = speech therapy gold! 🍀

St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse to turn creativity into language practice. When kids build a leprechaun trap, they’re not just crafting—they’re learning, problem-solving, and practicing communication skills.

Try these simple ways to build speech and language while you create together:

✨ Have your child describe their trap and explain how it works

✨ Ask WH-questions: Who will the trap catch? Where will you put it? Why will the leprechaun go inside?

✨ Practice sequencing: first, next, last

✨ Introduce new vocabulary (trap, bait, ladder, sneak, escape)

✨ Encourage longer sentences and storytelling. Play-based learning like this helps support language development, problem-solving, and confidence in communication. And who knows… you might even catch a leprechaun! 🌈🍀

Save this idea for your St. Patrick’s Day activities!

Sensory lights- Regulating or Alerting? The answer is- is depends on the kiddo!

For some kids, the soft glow and slow movement can be calming and help their bodies feel organized and regulated.

For others, the brightness and visual input can be alerting and energizing, helping them wake up their bodies and focus.

In OT, it’s never one-size-fits-all. We look at how each child’s nervous system responds and use tools like sensory lights with purpose and intention. 💛

At Let’s Talk Pediatric Therapy, we use creative activities like food painting to support feeding, sensory, and motor development. ✨

Painting with food helps children feel safe, curious, and confident before taking bites. This playful approach helps children build positive relationships with food—one colorful step at a time.
