Did you know? Drinking from a straw isn’t just about hydration—it helps develop key muscles for speech and feeding!

🥤 Our team of therapists have put together their top3️⃣ favorite cups for straw drinking in today’s post! Once your child can drink from an open cup with assistance, you can begin introducing straw cups!

If your child is having difficulty drinking from a straw cup, is not transitioning from a bottle to an open cup or straw cup, or you are struggling with picky eating, call our team of therapists today!

👋🏻 Did you know that gestures are one of the first building blocks of communication? From waving to pointing to desired objects, gestures help your child share their wants, needs, and interests long before they use words! This is a key step in learning how to talk because using gestures means your child is beginning to understand communication!

If your child isn’t using gestures by 12 months, or you’re concerned about their communication, early support can make all the difference. Speech therapy can help your child build strong communication skills! Reach out today to learn more about how speech therapy can support your child!

⭐️ Early Support Makes a Big Difference ⭐️

Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) provides free developmental support for children birth to age 3 who may be showing delays in communication, motor skills, play, or daily routines.

The earlier your child receives help, the better the outcomes—at home, in school, and in life.

If you’ve noticed your child isn’t meeting milestones—or if something just feels off—AzEIP can help with speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and developmental support. Reach out to us today with any questions! We’re here to help!

Have you ever heard of w-sitting? This happens when your child sits with their knees bent inward and feet flared out behind them.

This type of sitting position can place extra stress on growing joints and muscles, and over time, it may impact posture, balance, and core strength.

Encourage other sitting positions (like criss-cross or side-sitting) to support alignment and stability.

If your child prefers w-sitting and/or has trouble with other sitting positions, our team of physical therapists are here to help! Call us today with any questions or to schedule an evaluation!

☀️ Summer is the perfect time to explore sensory play options at home! The best part is it doesn’t need to be fancy to be effective!

Whether it’s water play, a DIY obstacle course, a sensory bin, or playing in shaving cream, each of these activities build fine motor skills, develop body awareness, offer opportunities to explore new textures, and support sensory regulation!

Need more ideas or advice? Reach out to a member of our team with any questions or to schedule an appointment!

Loud fireworks, bright lights, and big crowds can be overwhelming for a lot of children, especially if your child has sensory processing challenges!

Here are some therapist-approved ways to help your child enjoy the holiday celebrations while feeling calm and safe:
⭐️ Offer your child noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, or frequent breaks if needed throughout the day.
⭐️ Bring familiar snacks, blankets, fidgets, or stuffed animals to help your child feel a sense of comfort and calm.
⭐️ Use a visual schedule to help your child feel prepared for transitions and changes throughout the day.

Our clinic will be closed tomorrow in honor of the 4th of July, but we are wishing you all a safe, fun-filled holiday!

🍽️ Is your little one ready to self-feed with utensils, but you’re not sure what to pick? The right tools make a big difference!

Toddler utensils with short, wide handles are designed to support little hands in learning new skills. These handles are easier to hold, encourage proper hand positioning, and build the confidence and coordination they need for successful self-feeding!

Check out a few of our therapist favorites for utensils and be sure to reach out if you need mealtime support! We’re here to help!

Looking for a game that gets your child laughing and learning at the same time? Hedbanz is a favorite for a reason—and it’s a therapist-approved way to boost your child’s development while keeping things playful.

Here’s how this simple guessing game supports growing minds:
👂 Language Skills – Kids practice asking questions, describing, and using new vocabulary.
🧠 Critical Thinking – They make connections, sort through clues, and narrow down answers.
🙋‍♀️ Turn-Taking & Social Skills – Waiting their turn, listening, and staying engaged builds strong social communication.
🤔 Working Memory – They have to remember clues and piece together information—hello, cognitive development!

This game is a go-to for building skills through connection and play. Bonus? It’s fun for the whole family!

Looking for support for your child’s development? Our team offers speech, occupational, and physical therapy! Reach out today to ask questions or book an evaluation!
