When our nervous system senses danger or experiences prolonged stress, it can shift from a calm, rational state into survival mode — changing the way our brain and body respond.

These are known as the 4 F’s of Stress:

💥 Fight – The body prepares to defend.
Support with grounding: try tactile (touch), proprioceptive (body awareness), and vestibular (movement) activities.

🏃‍♀️ Flight – The body wants to run away or escape.
Help calm with deep breathing, visual focus, and soothing sounds to reconnect to the present.

❄️ Freeze – The body shuts down and disconnects.
Gently “unfreeze” through movement, compression, or hands-on sensory input.

🤝 Fawn – The body seeks to please or submit to avoid conflict.
Build confidence with predictable routines, fun activities, and celebrating strengths and independence!

Our bodies are always trying to keep us safe — learning these patterns can help children (and adults!) build awareness, regulation, and resilience. 💜

✨ Starting speech therapy can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect makes the process much easier. Here’s a simple step-by-step look at how your child can get started with speech therapy and begin building stronger communication skills.

1.) Pediatrician Referral If there is a concern about your child’s speech or language development, your pediatrician may provide a referral for speech therapy.

2.) Referral Sent The referral is faxed to the speech therapist.

3.) Scheduling the Initial Evaluation The therapist will contact you to schedule an initial evaluation.

4.) Initial Evaluation During this appointment, the therapist will assess your child’s speech and language skills to see where they are meeting milestones and where they may need support.

5.) Developing Goals Based on the results of the evaluation, the therapist will create specific goals to help your child reach important communication milestones.

6.) Ongoing Therapy The speech therapist will meet with your child each week to work toward these goals and support their progress.

Dementia can profoundly affect language, memory, and comprehension. Individuals may struggle with word-finding (anomia), understanding speech, and forming coherent sentences—while syntax and phonology often remain more preserved early on.

Caregivers and professionals can better support meaningful interaction by:
- Speaking clearly and slowly, using short, simple sentences
- Maintaining eye contact and using gentle touch or gestures
- Providing a calm environment to reduce confusion
- Allowing extra time to process and respond
- Avoiding corrections and offering visual cues, such as writing or pictograms

Empathy and adapted communication can make all the difference—for everyone involved. Everyone deserves to be heard.

🍽️ Feeding therapy helps individuals who experience challenges with eating, drinking, or swallowing. Through personalized strategies and support from a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or occupational therapist (OT), therapy focuses on:

✔️ Strengthening oral motor skills
✔️ Building comfort with different textures and tastes
✔️ Learning safe feeding techniques
✔️ Encouraging positive mealtime routines
✔️ Supporting nutrition needs

Therapists also work closely with caregivers and families to ensure strategies carry over into everyday life, making mealtimes more successful.

What is Sensory Integration Therapy?

Some people experience challenges with how their brain processes everyday sights, sounds, textures, or movements. This can affect how they feel, behave, and function in daily life.

✨ Sensory integration therapy uses engaging, sensory-rich activities; like swinging, bouncing, or exploring textures; in a safe, supportive environment. Guided by an occupational therapist, these activities help the brain process sensory input more effectively.

💡 Over time, this can lead to improved regulation, confidence, and independence in everyday routines.

Starting speech therapy early gives kids a head start in building the skills they’ll need for school and social life. Here’s why early support makes such a big difference:

🧠 Brains learn fastest when young – The early years are when children’s brains are most ready to absorb new sounds, words, and communication skills.

⛔ Prevents small issues from growing – Addressing mild speech or language delays early helps keep them from affecting reading, writing, or learning later on.

💬 Builds confidence early – Children who communicate clearly feel more comfortable making friends and joining in activities.

📚 Supports school readiness – Speaking, listening, and following directions are key for classroom learning. Starting therapy early means kids walk into kindergarten better prepared.

👫 Reduces social challenges – By kindergarten, children begin noticing differences in speech. Early therapy can help prevent feelings of embarrassment or isolation, allowing kids to engage more fully with their peers.

✨ The earlier we start, the stronger the foundation for learning, confidence, and friendships.
