Talking/playing with your baby early on is so important for their speech & language development!

Try these speech tips with your little one! These toys are geared for 6-12 months old.

MODEL these actions/words/sounds with your baby!

If they babble, make a sound after you say something, acknowledge it even if it doesn’t sound exactly like the word you said.

Be face-to-face when playing with them.

💬What’s your baby’s favorite toy?

Autism is NOT a “tremendous horror show”.

Read through the post to see what the real horror show is :

- A world that refuses to understand, accept, and support neurodivergent people.

- Ableism, stigma, and forcing children to mask who they are.

- Lack of resources, exclusion, and treating differences as deficits.

-Parents being told that their child needs to be “fixed” instead of celebrating them.

- Cutting funding for several autism programs.

As a pediatric speech therapist (and former behavioral therapist), I’ve learned so much from the autistic community and will continue to learn from them. 💜

Try this low prep speech therapy activity to increase your child’s speech and language skills!

Great for teaching: nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, greeting (hi, bye), sounds, turn taking, and requesting (more, help, all done).

What I love about this speech activity is all you need is a bag and just fill it up with different toys/objects! 🙂
