Honored to present this morning at the Local Interagency Coordination Area (LICA) meeting at San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center.
I had the opportunity to connect with SLPs, OTs, PTs, ABA providers, Early Interventionists, and Regional Center Coordinators to discuss a powerful shift in thinking:
Instead of asking,
“Does this child have enough foundational skills for speech therapy?”
We asked,
“Would speech therapy support the development of joint attention, engagement, and communication right now?”
When we reframe the question, we move from waiting for readiness to building readiness.
Grateful for the collaboration and shared commitment to supporting children during their most critical developmental windows.
