Incorporating Speech Therapy into Halloween and Fall Fun

Fall brings endless opportunities for fun—and for building your child’s speech and language skills. With a little creativity, seasonal activities can easily double as speech therapy practice!

Build Vocabulary with Fall Adventures�
Whether you’re carving pumpkins, picking apples, or playing in leaves, talk about what you see and do. Label objects (“That pumpkin is big and bumpy”), describe textures and colors, and introduce action words like jump, rake, and stir. These conversations help children learn new words naturally.

Practice Speech Sounds
�If your child is working on certain sounds, find themed words to practice together:
* /k/: pumpkin, candy, cat
* /s/: scarecrow, spider, spooky
* /l/: leaf, light, fall�Make it playful—say words in silly voices, whisper them, or use them in short sentences.

Build Social Skills
While Trick-or-Treating�Halloween night is perfect for practicing greetings and manners. Encourage your child to say “Trick or treat!” and “Thank you!” Role-play beforehand so they feel confident taking turns and making eye contact.

Strengthen Storytelling and Sequencing�
After fall events, ask your child to retell what happened: “What did we do first? Then what?” You can even draw pictures in order to make it visual. Sequencing helps develop strong narrative and comprehension skills.

Use Crafts and Cooking for Language Expansion�
Seasonal crafts or baking—like making pumpkin muffins—are great for following directions, describing actions, and learning concepts like first, next, and last.

Keep It Playful�
Speech practice works best when it feels natural. Comment more than you question, give time for responses, and model language gently.

By weaving speech and language goals into festive fall moments, you’ll help your child grow their communication skills—all while enjoying the season together!

Did you know that October is AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Awareness Month? At Advent Therapy Solutions, we’re proud to celebrate the power of AAC and the incredible ways it helps children and adults connect, express themselves, and engage with the world around them.

AAC includes any form of communication other than spoken words—such as pictures, visual boards, gestures, or devices that generate speech. For individuals with limited oral language, AAC provides a voice and a way to make requests, express feelings, answer questions, protest, greet others, or comment on what’s happening around them.

There’s a common misconception that AAC is only for individuals who can’t speak at all, but that’s not true. AAC supports a wide range of communicators—from early language learners to those developing more complex communication skills. At Advent Therapy Solutions, our goal is to help every individual find the right tools and strategies to express themselves confidently.

We work closely with families to assess communication needs, select appropriate AAC systems, and provide hands-on training so that AAC use becomes natural across daily routines. Communication practice doesn’t stop in the therapy room—it happens everywhere! Here are some real-life ways to encourage AAC use in the community:

1. At the park: Practice social phrases like “Hi,” “My turn,” “Your turn,” or “Let’s play!”�2. During family outings: Encourage expressing preferences—“I like swings,” “Go fast,” or “More bubbles!”
3. At restaurants: Model simple conversations like greetings, making requests (“I want pizza”), and saying thank you.

Every experience can be a language-learning opportunity when AAC is part of your child’s world. At Advent Therapy Solutions, we believe that every voice deserves to be heard—and we’re here to help families make that possible. Learn more or schedule an AAC consultation by contacting us today!

As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and set fresh goals in therapy. At Advent Therapy Solutions, we know that progress happens step by step—and fall brings plenty of opportunities to make communication practice meaningful and fun! Here’s how we tailor fall-themed goals for every stage of life:

Toddlers & Preschoolers
- Expanding vocabulary with seasonal words like pumpkin, apple, leaf, and scarecrow
- Practicing requesting (“more,” “help,” “open”) during fall crafts or snack time
- Encouraging social skills like taking turns while playing pumpkin toss or fall-themed games

School-Age Children
- Strengthening storytelling by retelling fall activities (hayrides, apple picking) with a clear beginning, middle, and end
- Practicing sequencing by talking through steps of carving a pumpkin or baking cookies
- Building articulation skills while reading fall books or describing colorful leaves

Teens & Young Adults
- Practicing conversation skills at seasonal events like football games, fall dances, or festivals
- Developing organization and planning strategies for school projects or upcoming holidays
- Building confidence in group discussions or presentations by practicing with real-world fall topics

Adults
- Supporting memory and problem-solving with seasonal tasks like meal prep, grocery lists, or holiday planning
- Practicing voice or articulation strategies in real conversations at family gatherings
- Using fall routines (daily walks, social outings, or cooking) to reinforce independence and communication strategies

At Advent Therapy Solutions, we believe that just like the leaves change, growth in therapy takes time—but every small step is worth celebrating. Ready to set meaningful therapy goals this fall? Let’s work together to make your goals our priority. Contact us today to learn more!

Falling Back Into Routines: Supporting Speech and Language After Summer Break

The shift from carefree summer days to the structured school year can feel bumpy—for kids and parents alike. For children working on speech and language goals, re-establishing routines is especially important to help them feel confident and continue making progress.

1. Rebuild Daily Structure�Set predictable times for homework, reading, and downtime. Consistent routines give kids a sense of security, making it easier for them to focus on communication tasks. Even small steps—like reviewing the next day’s schedule together—can help reduce anxiety and prepare them for school expectations.

2. Refresh Communication Habits at Home�Integrate speech and language practice into natural moments: name ingredients while packing lunches, talk through steps while getting ready for school, or discuss the day’s highs and lows at dinner. These little conversations strengthen vocabulary, sequencing, and expressive language skills without feeling like extra homework.

3. Partner With Teachers and Your Child’s SLP�Early in the school year, share updates about your child’s summer progress and any strategies that worked well. Ask teachers and therapists how you can support classroom carryover at home. Open communication builds a consistent support network and ensures everyone is working toward the same goals.

4. Keep Transitions Positive�Acknowledge that change can be hard. Praise your child’s efforts, even small ones—like remembering to use a speech strategy or participating in class. Celebrate progress and remind them that skills built last year haven’t been lost; they’re simply picking up where they left off.

With a little structure, collaboration, and encouragement, your child can step confidently into the new school year and keep their communication growth on track.

08/29/2025

Back-to-school season brings new routines, new teachers, and fresh opportunities for your child to grow. If your child receives speech therapy, this is the perfect time to make sure everyone involved is on the same page. Parents play a key role in staying informed about progress. Request regular updates from your child’s school-based speech therapist and ask how goals are being addressed in the classroom. If your child also receives private therapy, encourage open communication between both providers to ensure consistency and reduce overlap. Alignment across settings allows your child to practice the same strategies and build skills more effectively. When therapists share insights, your child benefits from consistency and reinforcement across settings.

At home, try to carry over therapy activities whenever possible. Small moments—reading together, practicing new vocabulary, or modeling speech strategies—help strengthen what your child is learning in therapy. It’s also important to keep your child’s teacher in the loop. Share any current needs, strategies that work well, and recent milestones. Teachers can then incorporate these supports into classroom routines, giving your child more opportunities to practice in a natural setting.

When parents, teachers, and therapists work together, children make stronger, more confident progress. This school year, think of yourself as the bridge—keeping communication open, celebrating growth, and making sure your child’s hard work carries over everywhere they learn and play. At Advent Therapy Solutions, we offer private, play-based speech and language therapy to support your child’s progress at home, school, and beyond.

Speech and Language Fun for the Final Days of Summer

The last days of summer are the perfect time to soak up sunshine, make memories, and sneak in some easy speech and language practice before school starts again. You don’t need flashcards or a formal “lesson” to keep your child’s skills growing — just a little creativity and playfulness. Here are some ideas to make the most of these final warm days:

1. Picnic Chat Time
Grab a blanket and some snacks, head to the park, and encourage your child to describe the food, talk about what they see, and share their favorite summer memory. Use “because” and “and” to expand sentences: “I like watermelon because…”
2. Water Play Words
Whether it’s the beach, pool, or backyard sprinkler, water play offers endless vocabulary: splash, float, sink, drip, soak, spray. Turn it into a “water word challenge” and see who can come up with the silliest action to go with each word.
3. “Last Days” Photo Album
Let your child take pictures of their favorite end-of-summer activities. Later, print or scroll through them together, and narrate what’s happening in each picture. This builds sequencing, memory, and descriptive language.
4. Sunset Conversations
End the day by sitting outside and talking about what you did, what you saw, and what you’re excited for tomorrow. This simple recap strengthens narrative skills and encourages conversation.

Final Tip:
The magic happens when speech and language practice blends into fun and connection. Use the final days of summer to keep the tone light, the activities playful, and the conversation flowing!

Ice Cream Conversations: Encouraging Social Skills During Summer Treats

Summer is full of simple moments that offer big opportunities to support your child’s communication—and what better time than a trip for ice cream? Whether you're visiting a local shop, a truck at the park, or scooping from the freezer at home, snack outings are a natural setting to encourage social interaction. Here are 4 ways to build social skills during ice cream outings—with easy examples you can model, practice, or gently coach your child through:

1. Practice Greetings and Eye Contact - Before approaching the counter or ice cream truck, remind your child to say “hi” or “hello” to the server. Encourage brief eye contact and a smile—it helps children practice initiating social exchanges.

2. Requesting and Making Choices - Ordering ice cream is a perfect time for your child to work on using complete sentences, polite requesting, and decision-making.

3. Practicing Turn-Taking in Conversation - While eating your treat together, turn the moment into a mini social exchange. Practice taking turns commenting or asking questions.

4. Using Manners and Closing Conversations - Teach your child to use polite language with both family and staff. Practice saying “thank you” when receiving their order and a friendly “bye!” when leaving.

Final Thoughts: Don’t expect perfection! These are moments for gentle practice—not pressure. Celebrate efforts and treat every interaction as a learning opportunity. Over time, these routines become natural, and your child will grow more confident communicating out in the world. Want more tips like this or support for your child’s communication skills?

When It’s Too Hot to Go Outside: Speech-Language Activities for Indoors
Summer days can be long—and even longer when it’s too hot to head outside. But high temperatures don’t have to put a pause on your child’s speech and language development! There are plenty of ways to keep communication skills growing from the comfort of an air-conditioned home (or a cool indoor outing):

☀️ Visit Your Local Library�The library is a treasure trove of language opportunities. Let your child help choose books based on a theme (e.g., animals, space, fairy tales). Read together, take turns retelling the story, or talk about the characters and what might happen next to build vocabulary and comprehension.
☀️ Explore a Museum�Local children’s museums, science centers, or even art galleries are great places to encourage talking and thinking. Ask open-ended wh- questions like “What do you see?” “Why do you think that’s there?” or “How do you think this works?” to expand your child’s expressive language.
☀️ Scavenger Hunt at Home�Create a scavenger hunt using descriptive clues (“Find something round and red” or “Find something you use to clean”). This builds receptive language, following directions, and vocabulary.
☀️ Cook or Bake Together�Cooking is a natural way to build sequencing and vocabulary. Let your child help measure, stir, and read the steps aloud. Use action words (mix, pour, cut) and sequence terms (first, next, last).
☀️ Play Pretend�Set up a pretend play area—a grocery store, vet clinic, or restaurant. Encourage your child to take on roles, make up stories, and use new vocabulary in a meaningful way.

With just a little creativity, your indoor summer days can be filled with rich opportunities to support your child’s communication growth! At Advent Therapy Solutions, we love helping families find ways to make speech and language learning part of everyday life—even during a heat wave!

Help your child develop speech & language skills over the summer!
Summer outings are a great way for children to naturally develop speech and language skills! Here are some ways to increase speech and language skills for children of all ages.

Building Background Knowledge - Your child can build background knowledge when they visit the beach, go to camp, visit the park, or get ice cream. Building background knowledge can help children increase reading comprehension skills to associate an experience.

Planning/ Organizing - Ask your child to assist in planning things needed for a trip in or out of town. This builds problem solving and organizational skills. Your child can continue to build these skills over the summer, despite being out of school.

Looking for more structured support? Advent Therapy Solutions offers speech and language therapy services to supplement your child's learning all summer long. We also provide families with easy, engaging activities they can do at home or on vacation to keep their child's communication skills growing.
