May is Better Speech and Hearing Month!

Here are some expert tips to help show your ears and voice some love (from our Speech- Language Pathologists 💛):

Hearing Tips

🦻Keep the volume in check- if it’s loud enough to feel, it’s loud enough to damage your hearing
🦻Wear ear protection in noisy environments (concerts, mowing the lawn, etc.)

Vocal/ Voice Tips
🗣️ Drink lots of water- your vocal cords work best when they are well hydrated
🗣️ Take vocal breaks- rest your voice if you work or spend time in environments that require lots of talking

Did you know our tactile sensory system is a crucial component that allows us to understand and interact with the world? It’s responsible for processing information about textures, pain, temperature, and pressure. It integrates with all our other sensory systems to help us create a better understanding of our environment (both internally and externally).

Marina likes to use kinetic sand to help her clients explore their tactile sensory system which can lead to:

😀 Improved regulation
😀 Increased focus and attention
😀 Motor development
😀 Understanding of texture, shapes, and sizes
😀And more!

To everyone that participated in our 2025 bracket, thank you! The votes are in and doing therapy outside was chosen as our winner.. check out some therapeutic benefits of outdoor therapy:

☀️ Multi- sensory learning: outdoor environments engage all the senses which can enhance learning and increase focus
☀️ Exercise: outdoor spaces typically provides opportunities to run, jump, climb, play which provides opportunities for motor development
☀️ Self- regulation: going outside is a regulation strategy providing a healthy outlet for over stimulation in indoor environments + all the other benefits of being in nature (calming sounds, sights, smells, etc)
☀️ Social play: provides opportunities outside a structured setting to develop friendships and play skills
