🎉 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month 💙💛

At LBL, we celebrate the unique strengths, voices, and potential of every child we work with — and this month, we’re especially proud to HONOR our amazing littles with Down syndrome.

Speech and language skills can be a journey, and we’re here for every step — from first words to full conversations, we believe every child deserves to be heard.

💬 Communication isn’t just about words — it’s about connection, confidence, and community. This month, and every month, we’re committed to empowering children with Down syndrome to express themselves in ways that are meaningful to them.

Let’s spread awareness, celebrate progress, and advocate for inclusion — together. 💛💙

📲 TIP TUESDAY: How to Model AAC at Home
It’s AAC Awareness Month! 💬✨
One of the BEST ways to help your child become confident with their AAC system is by modeling language during everyday routines.
Why Model AAC?
Kids learn to talk by hearing speech.
Kids learn AAC by seeing it used—every day, in real life.

👀 Modeling = showing your child how to say words using their device, pictures, or signs while you talk.

It’s one of the most powerful things you can do to support communication! 💬💛

💡 Pro Modeling Tips for Parents
✔️ Model 1–2 key words at a time
✔️ Use their AAC during natural moments
✔️ No need to force responses—just show!
✔️ Repeat, repeat, repeat
✔️ Stay patient. Progress takes time. 💛

You don’t have to model everything—just a word or two at a time. Speak and tap a word on their device or board as you talk.📣 If you can say it, you can model it!

🧡 LBL Spotlight: Meet Mason!

October is AAC Awareness Month, and we’re celebrating by shining a spotlight on some of our amazing littles who are discovering the power of communication through AAC!

✨ First up is Mason—a precious, easy going little guy who is just beginning his AAC journey!

Mason is learning that communication comes in many forms—and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) is helping him explore new ways to express himself, make choices, and connect with the people around him.

To learn more about what this journey has been like, we asked Mason’s mom to share a bit about their experience so far. She told us how exciting (and sometimes emotional) it’s been to see Mason find new ways to express himself. ❤️

At LBL, we know that every child deserves a voice—and we’re here to support them every step of the way.

💬 AAC is not about replacing speech—it’s about giving kids the tools they need to be heard, however that may look.

Way to go, Mason! Your voice matters, and we’re so excited to be on this journey with you. 💙

🌟 October is AAC Awareness Month! 🌟
At Little Big and LOUD, we’re celebrating by shining a light on some of our amazing littles who are finding their voices with the help of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). 💬💛

This month, we’ll be featuring a few of our rockstar kiddos — and we’ve asked their incredible moms to answer a few questions, too. Their journeys are powerful, personal, and full of hope. Our goal? To spread awareness, spark understanding, and show just how life-changing AAC can be. 🧡

🎉 Whether it’s a high-tech device or a simple set of picture cards, AAC opens up a world of communication for children who need support expressing themselves. And every voice deserves to be heard.

📣 AAC Tip of the Week:
✨ Model, model, model! One of the BEST ways to teach AAC is to use it yourself while speaking. It’s like learning a new language — your child needs to see it in action to learn how to use it.
✨ Respect all communication. A look, a gesture, a button press — it all counts. Celebrate every attempt!

Stay tuned all month long as we introduce you to some truly inspiring kiddos and the loving families behind them. 🧸💬 Let’s raise awareness together and make sure everyone has the tools they need to be heard.

🌈Tip Tuesday!

One of the most important things we help families focus on in the early stages of communication is functional vocabulary—words that help your child get things done in their world!

✨ These are words that help kids:

Request: more, help, open, up

Protest: no, stop, all done

Comment: uh-oh, wow, yum, go

When building your child’s first words, think less about colors or animal names (those are fun later!)—and more about what’s useful in the moment. If your child can say “up” to be picked up or “help” when they’re stuck, they start to see that words work—and that’s the key to growing language!

Here are a few simple, everyday ways to model and encourage these words at home:

🧃 Word: More
👉 During snack time, give just a few bites at a time and pause. Say, “More?” while signing or gesturing. Wait… then give them more when they look at you, reach, or imitate the word.

🆘 Word: Help
👉 When your child is struggling with a toy or snack container, hold back just a second. Say, “Help? Do you want help?” and show the sign. Give help right after to show the power of asking.

✋ Word: Stop
👉 During a fun activity (like tickles or a swing), say “Stop!” and freeze. Wait for their reaction. If they look or gesture for more, model, “Go?” and continue the fun. This builds both stop and go naturally!

Keep it fun, follow your child’s lead, and remember—every little word is a big step forward. 💛
