What breaks my heart most about speech and language delays isn’t just the late talking, unclear words, or struggles to communicate that everyone sees.
It’s the hidden toll parents and children carry silently.

It’s the parent who feels helpless watching their child struggle to express even simple needs.
It’s the toddler who melts down not because they’re “difficult,” but because they can’t get the words out.
It’s the quiet loss of confidence when milestones feel further and further away.

That’s why at Lilypad Speech & Language Therapy on Long Island, I don’t just focus on fixing speech. I focus on helping families feel safe, supported, and empowered with evidence-based strategies that fit into real life.

Because therapy isn’t just about words. It’s about giving your child and you the confidence to connect, communicate, and thrive.

"Mrs. Lily is so amazing! I’ve attended many Talking Toddlers classes with my daughter. We both had so much fun at these classes. Both the parents and kids learn so much & have such a great time. It’s such a fun way to learn and interact with kids & other parents. You can really see Mrs. Lily loves what she does and the kids all love her! Highly recommend!" 💜

Talking Toddlers isn’t just about speech and language, it’s about connection, play, and creating meaningful moments with your little one while building communication skills.

Just saying “more words” before building connection won’t get your child talking—and I see this mistake every single day.

Many parents think the answer is more flashcards, more labeling, or more pressure for words.
But the truth? That’s just a Band-Aid.

Here’s what actually helps your child build a strong foundation for talking:
✅ Connection and prelinguistic skills first
✅ Responsive, play-based interactions
✅ Everyday routines that invite back-and-forth

It might not look flashy, but it works. This is how families I work with see real language growth—without the overwhelm.

My top 3 reasons your child may benefit from private speech therapy...

They get frustrated when not understood.

They use fewer words than peers.

They avoid talking in new situations.

Picture this.... currently:
😩 Your child melts down mid-play because no one understands what they’re saying.
😩 You nod like you understand while frantically Googling “speech disorder or toddler talk?”
😩 Friends and family say, “They’ll grow out of it,” but you’re not so sure.

After speech therapy:
🗣️ Your child clearly asks for the blue car, not the boo caw.
😊 You smile because Grandma actually understood them on FaceTime.
💬 Conversations feel easier, more fun, and less frustrating for everyone.

At Lilypad Speech & Language Therapy, we help kids in Long Beach, Lynbrook, and across Nassau County build communication skills that boost confidence, connection, and independence - whether they’re late talkers, struggling with pronunciation, or having a hard time keeping up with peers.

Limited spots left for Fall! The sooner we start, the sooner they grow.

If you’re nodding along to one (or all) of these… we should talk. 🐸

💡 “But my child is already in speech therapy… do we really need a Talking Toddlers class too?”
We hear this a lot, so let’s tackle the top 3 concerns parents have:

1️⃣ “Won’t it be too much for my child?”
Group classes complement individual therapy. Kids practice skills in a natural setting with peers, which builds confidence and makes learning stick.

2️⃣ “Won’t it just repeat what we’re already doing?”
Not at all! Talking Toddlers focuses on everyday routines, play, and parent strategies. It’s about bringing therapy skills to real-life moments at home and with other kids.

3️⃣ “Will it really make a difference?”
Yes! Research shows children learn best through repetition and social interaction. Adding group practice often leads to faster progress, plus parents walk away with new tools each week.

🌟 Think of it as giving your child’s speech therapy a boost...more practice, more play, more progress! 🌟

There are lots of options out there for speech therapy. So why choose 1:1 sessions at Lilypad this Fall?

Here’s what makes us different:

✅ We take time to really get to know your child...their personality, their interests, and what motivates them, so therapy feels fun and engaging, not like extra work.

✅ You get parent coaching woven into every session. We don’t just work with your child for 30 minutes and leave it there. We teach you the strategies so progress continues at home.

✅ We prioritize real-life transformation...communication that actually makes daily life easier. Fewer meltdowns. More connection. More confidence for both you and your child.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what works...and making sure it lasts.

✨ Limited Fall spots are open now.

🍂 Fall + First Words = Fun! 🍁

Autumn is the perfect time to practice bilabial sounds, those early speech sounds where the lips come together, like ‘b’, ‘p’, and ‘m’. These are some of the first sounds most kids hit, and seasonal words make it easy and fun!

🍁 Pumpkin – emphasize the ‘puh’ sound by pressing lips together and releasing. Perfect for pumpkin picking!
🍎 Apple – close lips for the ‘uh’ and open for the ‘ah’. Snack time = speech time.
🎃 Picking Pumpkins – double ‘puh’ practice while having fun outdoors.
💨 Blow – practice the ‘b’ sound by blowing leaves, paper, or your hand.

Use everyday fall moments to sneak in speech practice, celebrate the wins, and enjoy the season together.

Tell me which word you find yourself saying the most in the Fall....mine is definitely PUMPKINS!
