What does a pediatric speech-language pathologist actually work on?

In this conversation, Emmi Ring and Dr. Thornburg break it down:

We support (& many others areas not mentioned):
• Expressive language (what your child says)
• Receptive language (what they understand)
• Social/pragmatic skills (how they interact and communicate)

And it often starts earlier than parents think.

For example, you can begin supporting expressive communication around 6 months using simple signs like:
✔ “More”
✔ “All done”
✔ “Milk”

Try this at home:
✔ Pair the word + sign
Say “more” while signing it

✔ Use it during real moments
Snack time, play, meals

✔ Repeat consistently
Repetition helps them learn

✔ Celebrate attempts
Even approximations count

Early communication doesn’t start with words — it starts with connection, gestures, and interaction.

Before babies use words, they learn to imitate.

This little one is:
• copying sounds & movements
• responding to “yay!”
• engaging in back-and-forth interaction

Try this at home:
✔ Make a simple sound
“hi”
tongue clicks
“ma ma”

✔ Wait and watch
Give your baby time to copy you

✔ Use a simple word + action
“Yay!” (clap)

✔ Celebrate immediately
“Yay!! You did it!” 👏

✔ Repeat often
Repetition is how they learn

These tiny moments build:
• imitation
• attention
• early communication skills

And that’s where first words begin.

Save this to try later 🤍

This is what therapy looks like at RTS.

We build skills like rhyming through:
• movement
• visuals
• real interaction
• encouragement

Rhyming is an early literacy skill that supports:
• sound awareness
• listening
• future reading skills

Because THIS is how babies learn. 🐣💭💡

Grasping, exploring, bringing things to their mouth, feeling new textures, figuring out “what is this?”… it’s all building the foundation for so much more. 🧩

Oral exploration supports early feeding skills, sensory processing, and even speech development down the line. That little hand-to-mouth moment? It’s strengthening coordination, awareness, and curiosity all at once. 👶🏼💪

It might look messy (and yes… a little stressful 😅), but it’s actually purposeful, important, and exactly what we want to see.

Let them explore. Guide it, keep it safe… but don’t rush to stop it 🤍

This comes up ALL the time with families.

In this conversation, Emmi Ring and Dr. Thornburg talk about a common pattern:

👉 Younger siblings sometimes talk less or are harder to understand
👉 Not because they don’t understand — but because communication happens around them

Older siblings may speak for them. Family routines move quickly. So they don’t always get the same opportunities to practice. The good news? It’s very common — and very workable.

Here’s what you can do at home:
✔ Slow down interactions
Pause before jumping in

✔ Give them a turn
“Tell me what you want”

✔ Model instead of correcting
If they say “ba” → “Ball! You want the ball!”

✔ Create space to respond
Look at them and wait a few seconds

These small shifts make a big difference.

This isn’t just a space — it’s intentional.

At Ring Therapy Services, we design environments that help children feel:
• safe
• calm
• engaged

Because early language development doesn’t happen in chaos or pressure —
it happens through connection.

Every detail matters:
✔ minimal distractions
✔ child-centered setup
✔ space for play, interaction, and learning

This is part of what makes our approach different.
Not high-volume. Not factory therapy.
Just thoughtful, individualized care.

We’ve quietly started seeing families in our new downtown Fort Myers space… and it’s starting to feel like us 🌸

When we designed this space, our focus was creating somewhere that feels comfortable and easy for both kids and parents… not clinical or overwhelming. A place where kids can move, play, and be themselves, with flexible seating (we’re always one the floor anyway 🤓🤣) and lots of little sensory pieces built in throughout.

We also made sure there’s a calm, cozy spot for parents to sit, watch, and just take a breath while still feeling part of everything going on. 🧘‍♀️🧖😌

It’s still coming together, but we’re really loving how it’s starting to feel.💙

Also… being downtown has been such a fun bonus. It makes therapy feel like part of your day instead of something you have to squeeze in. You can grab a coffee, walk around a bit, or pop into some of our favorite local spots before or after your session. ☕️

If you’ve been thinking about getting started, we’d love to have you 🤍

This is how early language starts.

She’s learning to say “go” by using a simple, predictable routine:
“Ready… set… GO!”

And bubbles make it even more fun 🫧

Try this at home:
✔ Use a routine phrase
“Ready…”
“Set…”
(pause…)
“GO!”

✔ Pause and wait
Look at your child and give them a chance to say it

✔ Model if needed
“Go!”

✔ Repeat often
The same phrase helps them learn faster

✔ Use exciting activities
Bubbles, cars, swings — anything motivating

You can also model simple sounds like:
“Pop!” (or “op!” for early attempts)

That’s how first words begin — through repetition, excitement, and connection.

This is how we build early speech sounds — through seeing, modeling, and play.

He’s working on a bilabial sound (/b/) using a simple word: “bye bye” 👋

The visual feedback helps him see how his lips move — not just hear it.

Here’s how you can try this at home:
✔ Model clearly
“Bye bye”
“Buh-buh”

✔ Give a simple cue
“Put your lips together”
“Close your lips”

✔ Let them watch your mouth
Sit face-to-face or use a mirror

✔ Keep it playful
Wave, use toys, or make it part of a routine

✔ Celebrate attempts
“I saw your lips close — great job!”

Early speech development is about awareness first, then accuracy.

This is how we support early speech sounds — through play.

He’s working on an /s/ sound (instead of a tongue-forward lisp) using a fun target word: “ice cream” 🍦

Here’s how you can support this at home:
✔ Model the word clearly
“Ice cream” (slow and clear)

✔ Give a simple cue if needed
“Keep your tongue inside”
“Smile and blow the air out”

✔ Keep it playful
Use pretend play like making ice cream, feeding toys, etc.

✔ Let them try — no pressure
Praise effort: “That was a great try!”

Speech development at this age is about awareness and practice, not perfection.

Save this for later 🤍

This might look like a simple moment —
but this is how language grows.

When your child notices something (like a bird), try this:
✔ Follow their focus
“You see the bird!”

✔ Label it
“That’s a white bird.”

✔ Add one more detail
“The bird is walking.”
“Look, it’s moving!”

✔ Ask a simple question
“Where is it going?”

✔ Pause and wait
Let them point, talk, or react

These small moments build:
• shared attention
• vocabulary
• back-and-forth interaction

You don’t need a lesson — just the moment.
