ABCs. I have numerous alphabet sets in my speech therapy clinic. Some are puzzles for fine motor development, some are magnets for preschool learning, wooden, plastic, some are even on wheels 🚂 They’re all hands on and loved! When letters come out I slow down and watch. Are they lining them up, matching, copying, recognizing sounds or just enjoying the order. That tells me what comes next. Watching Waiting Listening

Parents & Therapist let’s chat.
If a parent has a question and does know how, what, or when to ask there’s a problem.
Let’s work together.

SLPs invite parents into the room this week.
Parents ask to come in…it’s okay 💙
We can learn from each when we spend time together.
See my latest blog post to read more about how to make this work. 🔗 in comments.

This might be my favorite magnetic tile setup yet.
Sunny window + magnetic tiles = a win every time

They’re everywhere now in the U.S., and honestly. I can’t get enough of them.

Trying very hard not to buy another set 😅

“Parents are not a distraction by default”

In speech therapy sessions, involvement should be individualized and not decided by a blanket clinic rule.
I wrote a blog for parents who have wondered whether they should be in the room and what therapy is actually supposed to look like.
If this is something you’ve been thinking about, comment “parent” and I’ll send you the post directly.

New Year’s Eve reminder:
Progress in speech isn’t loud.
It’s quiet moments, small wins and showing up again tomorrow.
If that was your year, you’re doing it right. ✨

Here’s another cozy winter book. 🐻❄️
Bear Snores On is one of those stories kids ask for again and again and honestly, I don’t mind.
It’s calm, predictable, and full of little moments kids love to join in on.
Perfect for slowing down and reading close 🤍❄️
