Communication Functions Matter at home and in therapy 🧤

Kids don’t talk just to label.
They talk to request help, protest, ask questions, share feelings, and call attention.

For parents:
When your child says “I don’t want mittens,” they’re communicating… even if it’s not the words you hoped for. Honor the message first. Language grows from there.

For SLPs:
If we only target naming, we miss the function. When we build goals around why a child is communicating, carryover skyrockets.

Language isn’t performance! It’s connection!
✨ Inspire, don’t require.

We use language for a variety of functions ❤️ 🛷
