So many parents come to us after hearing “they don’t qualify,” yet they’re still seeing real challenges with homework, transitions, attention, or emotional regulation at home.

Academic support is a way to step back and get clarity, without pressure, timelines or school criteria.
It helps you understand why something feels hard and what supports actually make sense for your child.

If you’ve been wondering whether something you’re seeing is “normal,” you’re not alone.
Some toddler patterns are worth paying attention to, especially when they show up in daily routines, mealtimes, or play.

We pulled together a full breakdown of the six most common signs we see in the clinic and the myths that hold parents back from getting support early.

If you want the full blog, comment SIGNS and I’ll send the link.
And if you want to talk through what you’re noticing, message me anytime.

Families are often told ABA will cover “everything,” especially after an early autism diagnosis.
But here’s the real story: ABA teaches skills… MYO helps the body do them.

A child might learn to request, point, or use a picture board in ABA, but still struggle with chewing, swallowing, drooling, tongue thrust, unclear speech sounds, or open-mouth posture.

Those pieces aren’t behavior.
They’re oral motor and feeding skills, and that’s where myofunctional therapy comes in.

Together, ABA + MYO can support:

👉safer, stronger feeding

👉clearer early speech

👉better breath support

👉tongue tie–related challenges

👉fewer “behavior” moments that were actually frustration

This is why having Erin, our myo-trained SLP, matters so much for families juggling multiple therapies.

If you want Erin’s schedule or need help figuring out whether MYO fits your child’s needs, comment MYO and I’ll send it to you.

And if you just want to talk through what you’re noticing, send me a message anytime.

We use all kinds of activities in OT, but these four show up again and again because they build the skills kids rely on all day, not just in the clinic, but at home, at school, and in their routines.

Sensory play helps kids understand their bodies.
Fine motor play builds the foundation for writing and self-care.
Feeding and oral motor work support safer, calmer mealtimes.
Movement helps kids plan, coordinate, and trust their bodies.

If you’re wondering which of these areas your child might need more support with, send me a message.
I’m always happy to talk it through with you.

Occupational therapy isn’t just for major delays, it’s for the everyday moments that feel heavier than they should.

When kids struggle with routines, emotions, sensory input, or the skills they need to participate in their day, it’s usually a sign they need support that meets them where they are.

If any of these signs sound familiar, send me a message.
Sometimes a simple conversation brings a lot of clarity.

So many parents second-guess themselves when it comes to speech and language.
“Is this normal?”
“Do I wait?”
“Should they be saying more by now?”

There’s a wide range of typical, but there are also moments worth paying attention to, like frustration during communication, limited words, unclear sounds, or difficulty understanding directions.

If you’re unsure whether your child is moving at the pace they need, send me a message.
Sometimes one conversation brings a lot more clarity.

When a child receives an autism diagnosis, families are often moved quickly into high-hour ABA, sometimes 30 to 40 hours a week. Many parents don’t realize they can pause, ask questions, and make room for other therapies that support development in different ways.

Speech, OT, PT, feeding therapy, sensory work, motor development, and caregiver support all matter.
And they deserve space in your week.

You are allowed to request flexibility.
You are allowed to ask providers to collaborate.
You are allowed to build a plan that fits your child, rather than squeezing your child into someone else’s plan.

If you want help understanding what a balanced therapy schedule might look like for your family, send me a message anytime.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

We are so grateful to have Erin Campbell, MS, CCC-SLP on our team.
She brings expertise in speech, feeding, and oro-facial myology, along with a natural gift for helping children feel understood, safe, and ready to grow.

Erin works with:

👉swallowing + feeding disorders

👉tongue tie + oral motor patterns

👉noxious habits

👉tongue thrust and open-mouth posture

👉unclear speech sounds

👉apraxia of speech

👉receptive + expressive language delays

If you want to check Erin’s schedule or ask her a question directly, comment MYO and I’ll send everything your way.
She’s incredible at what she does, and her spots fill quickly.

So many parents walk into meals already holding their breath.
Not because they want control… but because they’re trying to avoid another meltdown, refusal, or 40-minute standoff.

Here’s the truth: feeding struggles are almost never “just picky eating.”
They’re usually a mix of sensory processing, oral motor development, regulation, and the pressure kids feel when eating stops being enjoyable.

If meals feel harder than they should, send me a message.
We can talk through what you're noticing and what might help bring the stress down.
