Want to build a “castle garage” for the semi?
Why not. But add a room or two for today’s motor speech targets! 😅😂

So much thought goes into building this summer intensive.
Every staff member and volunteer is carefully selected.
Every child is considered with intention.
Because the environment matters.
The people matter.
The experience matters.

I cannot wait!!

As kids grow, the decisions get bigger. It can feel harder to step back as our kids grow.
Choosing friends, dating, picking a high school or college, learning to drive…
Our role as parents shifts.
Not exactly easier… just different.

In therapy it can be tempting to move quickly toward targeting speech production, especially when a child presents with characteristics of Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
But if a child is not yet regulated, connected or engaged, we are often building on an unstable foundation.
We may even be making things worse 😕
Motor speech planning requires more than repetition. It depends on a child’s ability to attend, participate and stay connected within the interaction. Without those pieces in place, it’s really easy to get lost.
This is why I prioritize regulation, connection, and engagement first, while learning how the child communicates and supporting that.
When a child feels safe, connected, and ready to participate, we begin to see more consistent attempts, stronger motor planning, and more meaningful progress.
Slowing down at the beginning often allows us to move forward more effectively.

Sometimes a small adjustment in how we word things can make a big difference.

I’d love to hear how others are encouraging kids to “keep trying”
