“Is this normal?” 🤔
If you’ve ever asked this as a parent — you’re not alone.

Wondering doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It means you’re paying attention — and that matters.

Some things are part of typical development.
Others can be early signs that extra support may help with speech, feeding, or oral habits.

Early support doesn’t mean labeling — it means guiding development when it matters most 💛

👇 Drop a ❤️ if this sounds familiar
📩 DM me or comment QUESTION if you’re unsure about your child’s speech, feeding, or oral habits.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today we reflect on the importance of kindness, equality, and standing up for one another. May we continue to teach our children to use their voices for good and to treat everyone with respect. 💙

✨ My Word of the Year: CALM ✨

This year, I’m choosing calm — not as a lack of growth, but as an intentional way of living and leading.

Calm shows up in how I care for myself, how I run my business, and how I support the families I work with every day. A regulated nervous system creates space for learning, connection, and meaningful progress — especially in speech, feeding, and orofacial myofunctional therapy.

When we reduce pressure and increase safety, growth happens naturally. 🌿

✨ Your turn:
Do you choose a word of the year?

✨ New year. Real support. Real answers. ✨

If communication feels harder lately…
If feeding has become more challenging…
If new concerns around breathing or sleep showed up over the holidays…

You’re not overthinking it 🤍
These aren’t “phases” to wait out — they’re signals, and early support matters.

At our practice, we take an evidence-based, family-centered approach to speech therapy, feeding therapy, and myofunctional therapy — meeting families where they are and building skills that last, without added pressure.

Progress doesn’t come from guessing.
It comes from clarity, support, and a plan that fits real life. ✨

Hands-on play is one of the best ways to build speech and language skills 🤍
This Nativity sensory bin from creates opportunities for children to practice vocabulary, sequencing, storytelling, and expressive language through meaningful, play-based learning.

Sensory bins encourage engagement, turn-taking, and rich conversations while supporting early language development in a fun and natural way. Activities like this make speech therapy skills easy to carry over at home and in everyday routines ✨
