Beyoutiful Adventures in Speech

Craft of the week 🌎💚 We’re getting ready for Earth Day by decorating our very own Earths with our target sounds!

I love incorporating crafts so our kiddos have something to take home and remind them of the sounds they’re working on. It’s such a functional way to practice—especially when they get to tell others all about the craft they made!

While creating, we’re working on articulation, language skills as we describe our pictures, and following directions step-by-step. So much learning packed into one fun activity ✂️✨

Message us today if you’d like to get scheduled for summer sessions—we’d love to keep the progress going! ☀️📚

Today I got to witness the sweetest reminder of how powerful it is when we bring speech, language, and feeding therapy together 💚

A little nonspeaking friend was working so hard to motor plan bringing a cup to his mouth to drink from an open cup. Because he can spell to communicate, he was able to tell me, “too hard to grade movement,” and we worked through it together—talking it out while I provided support to help guide the movement.

And then… the best moment 🥹
“Look at me.”
That pride. That connection. That communication.

From there, we explored cup preferences—thin lip, wide lip, what felt right (or not so right) for his sensory system. When I wondered about one cup, he told me, “green is good quite fat,” and we found what worked best for him.

Because we prioritized communication, we were able to understand his sensory needs, problem-solve together, and celebrate successful sips from an open cup 🎉
Such a beautiful example of how everything works together—and how giving kids a voice changes everything 💬✨

Today in speech we got creative and built our very own zoo creations 🦁🐒🐘 while practicing good grammar, strong sentence production, and clear sounds!

The best part? Using our imaginations to bring it all to life with a fun and silly zoo story we created together. Play + learning = the best kind of therapy 💛✨

Now scheduling summer sessions—keep the progress going or get a jump start for next school year! Message us today or fill out our contact form at www.beyoutifulspeech.com for a free consultation. We would love to be a part of your child’s speech journey ☀️📚

Today in speech therapy we brought out the vintage felt board and had so much fun with pretend play 🐾✨

While we played pet store, we worked on grammar, pronunciation, and building sentences about what all our little animals were doing. By the end, we created a great story and this adorable scene! 🐶🐱🐰

Play-based learning makes practicing communication skills so much more engaging—and the creativity never disappoints! 💬💛

Want your child to build confidence and skills through fun, meaningful play? Reach out to schedule a session today!

It’s time for 🌸 spring farmers markets 🌸 in speech therapy!

This week during pretend play, our little shoppers have been busy buying and selling at the market 🥕🍓 While we play, we’re working on so many important language skills like possessives, pronouns, and helping verbs (is/are, have/has, do, and more).
Play-based learning makes it so much more fun—and meaningful—as kids practice real-life communication in a way that feels natural and exciting 💛

Now I want to know… do you love going to the farmers market when the weather gets warm? ☀️ What’s your favorite thing to pick up there?

This week in speech we are all about 🦋 butterflies 🦋

After learning about butterflies, I asked one of my students to share his thoughts… and wow did he deliver when he spelled:

“feel all gooey every free butterfly I see. fly every ornate pattern. each butterfly forges good path. get only good vibe”

I mean… 🥹💛

It sparked such a sweet conversation about why I love butterflies so much and why one is part of our logo. Butterflies remind me of the journey our kids are on. Just like a caterpillar, growth takes time, effort, and a whole lot of hard work. The process isn’t always easy—but it’s so worth it.

In speech, we are all little caterpillars 🐛 working our way toward becoming beautiful butterflies 🦋—growing, changing, and finding our voice along the way.

And just like my student said… we’re here for those good vibes 💫

The weather may be all over the place this week, but that hasn’t stopped us from celebrating spring in speech therapy! 🌸🐰

We’ve been having so much fun finding eggs in Easter grass and going on egg hunts—all while working hard on our articulation and language goals 🥚✨ We also played some springtime bingo, targeting vocabulary, inferencing, articulation, and building those important social skills like turn-taking and interaction!

Spring fun + meaningful learning = the best kind of therapy 💛

Now is the perfect time to start thinking about summer sessions! ☀️ If you’re interested in setting up services, feel free to reach out—we’d love to support your child’s communication journey!

🍀 Kids say the best things…especially when they can truly say what they’re thinking! 🍀

One of the reasons I love teaching spelling as an AAC strategy is because my spellers constantly surprise me with their spontaneous and creative language.

This week a 5-year-old student decided to tell me her plan for catching a leprechaun. Here is the story she spelled completely on her own:

“first go in the behinh behind fridge get food he likes find good place to keep him finger gold into IQ pick gold coin in fridge”

I love seeing how spelling gives kids the freedom to share their thoughts, ideas, and imagination in their own words. Sometimes the most magical part of therapy is simply giving kids the tools to say exactly what they want to say. ✨🍀

Strong communication skills aren’t just luck—they grow with the right support. 🍀 If you’re looking for help with speech, language, or AAC, we’d love to connect and see how we can support your family.

We are having so much fun in speech on this beautiful spring day! 🌷☀️

We’ve been busy collecting gold to fill our leprechaun pots with target words, going on Easter egg hunts to find items that match our speech goals, and enjoying sweet little picnics with our animal friends. 🐰🥚🌈

Play makes therapy so much more fun, and it’s amazing how much learning happens when kids are engaged, laughing, and using their imaginations. I love watching my students practice their words while having such a great time!

If you’re looking for fun, engaging speech therapy that helps kids build communication skills through play, we’d love to help! 💬✨

Spelling to communicate for the win again! ✨

Today I was pretend playing with one of my little nonspeaking students and we were making up stories about who would eat the items in our picnic baskets. Traditional pretend play can be tricky for her because motor planning and regulation challenges make it hard to control the toys during play. But let me tell you… her imagination and language did NOT disappoint.

When I asked who should eat the cheese, she thoughtfully spelled: “offer it to a weary traveler.”
Definitely filing that under phrases I would never think to program on an AAC device!

She also told me:
“I go get grapes at the zoo.” 🦒🍇

And when I asked her to tell me about where we pick blueberries, she confidently said:
“I go get blueberries from Kroger.” 🫐

Moments like this are why I love spelling as a way to communicate. When students have access to the alphabet, they can share spontaneous, novel thoughts that truly belong to them—and sometimes they are absolutely delightful.
Communication should never be limited to only the words we think to program.

If you have a child who is struggling to communicate, we would love to help support their voice and their language. ❤️
