🍽️ Feeding Tip At Home:

Is your child not quite ready to taste or eat new foods yet? Try getting them involved in a different way — let them be the chef! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Have your child help prepare meals or take “orders” from family members about how they would like their food prepared. This fun activity allows children to interact with foods by touching, smelling, describing, and talking about them in a low-pressure way.

It’s also a great opportunity to discuss how everyone likes foods prepared differently — crunchy, warm, cold, plain, mixed, etc. This can help your child begin discovering their own preferences while building comfort around new foods!

Remember: positive interactions with food count too, even if tasting doesn’t happen yet. 💛

A big skill we target in speech therapy is inferencing skills!

We practiced this today by playing “Guess What I Am?” 🎲

Instead of random guessing, kids learn to:
✔️ Ask strategic yes/no questions
✔️ Use each answer as a clue
✔️ Eliminate possibilities
✔️ Narrow down to the best answer

This is inferencing in action—and it directly impacts:
đź“š Reading comprehension
🗣️ Conversations
🧠 Problem-solving

Building critical thinking through play!

Sometimes a strengths-based approach means meeting kids where they’re at… and yes, sometimes that includes screens.

Today’s session was all about Cookie Monster 🍪—and our client even came dressed for the occasion, which made it that much more fun and engaging!

For many of our clients—especially those using AAC—learning to navigate a touch screen isn’t just play, it’s an essential life skill. This virtual puzzle targeted finger isolation, visual-motor integration, and motor planning—key foundational skills needed to successfully access AAC devices.

In OT, we’re intentionally building these underlying skills to support carryover into speech therapy and real-life communication 💬✨ It’s all about purposeful play with a bigger goal in mind.

Looking for a fun, easy activity that builds core strength and motor planning?

Try ball kicks from the floor! Have your child lay on their back and kick a gently tossed exercise ball back to you.

This playful activity challenges stability, coordination, and timing while providing proprioceptive input to support regulation and body awareness.

Simple, effective, and always a kid favorite!
