This page is not only to spread awareness for Better Hearing and Speech Month, but also to help parents/families have a better understanding of what a communication disorder is. According to ASHA, "It is an impairment in the ability to receive, send, process, and comprehend concepts or verbal, nonverbal and graphic symbol systems. A communication disorder may be evident in the processes of hearing, language, and/or speech. As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, we prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication skills, as well as swallowing disorders in children. If you have any questions/concerns about your child regarding speech & language skills or feeding, I'm here to discuss and answer your questions. :) Hope this page helps!

📌REPOST/SAVE these 5 Netflix shows that are great for children!

These are low stimulation compared to other shows, making them more gentle/slow paced.

Keep in mind if you have a toddler they may be more sensitive to certain shows than others, so just something to be aware of when watching with little ones!

I’ve included speech and language tips while watching these shows with your child. Remember to co-watch with them, rather than just doing passive screen time.

Please be mindful of the screen time guidelines provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which I’ve included as well.

💬Does your child like any of these? What are some shows they like to watch that’s not included here?

The longer I’m an SLP, the more I’ve unlearned.

So much of what we were taught to prioritize isn’t what actually helps children communicate.

Parents, nothing is “wrong” if your child doesn’t do these things.

SLPs, what’s something you used to think mattered, but no longer do?

💬Let me know 👇🏽!

🩷REPOST or SAVE if your child loves music! 🎼

Did you know singing with your child can support so many speech and language skills?

🎵 Gestures
🎵 Sounds
🎵 Verbs
🎵 Nouns
🎵 Following directions
🎵 Adjectives
🎵 Prepositions

The key? Sing with your child. Model the words, actions, and gestures!

Once they know the song, try pausing during a familiar part to see if they’ll fill in the sound, action, or word on their own.

It’s a simple, playful way to encourage communication.

💬 What songs are on repeat in your home? Does your child love any of these?

Remember that before words, there is so much that is happening with regards to your child’s communication development.

When a child is regulated, they’re able to communicate since they have a calmer body.

If your child doesn’t have words yet, see HOW they’re communicating and if they are communicating with intent (gesturing, leading you to an object, pointing, reaching, etc.).

Remember that imitation is a precursor to learning words/sounds so see if your child imitates your actions!

Understanding of language is crucial as well when it comes to communication.

Lastly, don’t feel discouraged if your child isn’t talking yet. Speech is built, not rushed. Every child develops at their own pace.

✨Did you know there are so many benefits when providing specific praises vs only saying “good job”?

I’m guilty of saying “good job” as well, so I’m not here to make any parent, therapist, teacher, etc. feel bad for saying that.

I’m also not saying you should never say those words!

However, I wanted to share that there are a variety of ways you can praise your child (or student) and why it’s so important to do so!

✨It’s important to provide specific feedback to children because it’s:

▪️educational
▪️gives a child insight on what they did right or wrong

✨Providing feedback sooner than later (if possible) also makes a difference as studies have shown that:

▪️this significantly increases the child’s performance
▪️child is able to comprehend information better

This is also another way to teach speech & language skills since you’re using adjectives, nouns, and verbs when providing these specific phrases!

I included a few scenarios to show you some examples of phrases you can say to your child rather than only saying “good job”.

💬Have you tried this yet? What are some phrases you usually like to say to your child? Let me know below!👇🏽

Speech-language pathologists aren’t just “playing” with your child. We’re targeting various goals during play!

This can include goals like teaching nouns, prepositions, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, as well as following directions etc.

Children learn best through play!

So if you see an SLP “playing” with your child, they’re doing so much more! If you’re not sure, feel free to ask during the session! We always welcome questions. ☺️

Polite words like please and thank you are important, but they come later.

Early communication is about giving kids the tools to express their needs teaching words such as eat, drink, more, play, all done, mom, dad, yes, no, help, etc.

These functional words empower children to join routines, connect with caregivers, and feel understood.

Once kids have more of the basic words to express themselves then you can start teaching “please”.

Audiobooks are one of the simplest ways to grow your child’s language, imagination, and listening stamina without adding more screen time.

I’ve categorized each list based on the child’s age/grade, including ones that are kid‑friendly and emotionally safe stories that parents can play for car rides, quiet time, and everything in between.

💬Does your child like audiobooks? Have you tried this yet?

📌SAVE/REPOST with others who may want to try audiobooks with their child!

Did you know podcasts can support communication growth ?!

I’ve included 12 different podcasts and categorized them based on what type of podcast they are - stories, music, calming/regulation.

They’re great for families looking to replace screen time with meaningful, language‑rich moments that promote creativity, imagination, and connection.

Make sure to read the last slide to see how you can use these podcasts to teach speech and language skills!

💬Have you tried listening to podcasts with your child yet? If so, which ones do they like?
