Have you ever noticed your child repeating sounds or pausing while talking? You’re not alone!

Your child’s first words don’t need to be letters, numbers, or colors. They need words that help them ask for help and express their ideas. Functional communication gives your child an opportunity to see their words have power and build the foundation for future learning.

If your child isn’t yet using words or gestures to communicate their needs, it may be time for a closer look. Our free speech screenings can help you understand what’s happening and how to best support your child’s needs!

Speech intelligibility isn’t just about pronunciation. It’s about being able to share your ideas and connect with others too!

By age 3, your child should be understood about 75% of the time by friends and family. By age 4, your child should be understood 50% by unfamiliar listeners and 100% of the time by friends and family.

If your child’s speech sounds unclear, or if you often find yourself ‘translating’ for them, it may be a sign they need support! Our team of speech therapists is here to help! Reach out to schedule a free screening today!

Feeding shouldn’t feel overwhelming and you don’t have to figure it out alone. It is one of the first ways babies learn about their world and there are a few simple tips that can make a big difference.

✔️ Proper high chair positioning can support better engagement during meals.
✔️ Repeated exposure to new foods builds comfort and acceptance.
✔️ Messy eating is how babies learn.
✔️ Follow your baby’s signals to help reduce stress.

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you’re looking for support and guidance, our team of therapists are here to help!

Working memory plays a big role in how kids learn and communicate. It’s what allows them to follow a set of directions, keep track of steps during a task, or remember what was said just moments ago.

When working memory is challenged, your child may appear distracted, have trouble finishing tasks, or struggle to learn new concepts, even when they’re trying their best!

Speech therapy can help strengthen working memory by teaching strategies that support learning and communication in real-life situations. Interested in learning more? Schedule a FREE screening today!

Did you know some children prefer crunchy foods because of how they process sensory input? Crunchy foods can support jaw strength and coordination, offer a predictable consistency for your little one, and even help them to feel calm and focused.

However, if it is hard for your child to accept other textures, that could be a sign they need a little extra support. Our speech therapists can help expand your child’s comfort with new foods while supporting safe and positive mealtime experiences.
