Not sure if your child needs speech therapy?

Some signs that may be worth looking into include:
• Being difficult to understand compared to children the same age
• Using fewer words or shorter sentences than expected
• Struggling to follow directions or answer questions
• Becoming frustrated, upset, or avoiding communication

Every child develops at their own pace, but if concerns persist, an evaluation can help provide clarity and guidance.

This November, practice speech and language skills by talking about what your family is thankful for! 🍁

Gratitude conversations help kids use descriptive words, expand vocabulary, and build meaningful sentences.

Try these prompts at home:
✨ “I’m thankful for ______ because…”
✨ “Something that makes me happy is…”
✨ “Today, I’m thankful for…”

Encourage your child to explain why, that extra detail builds complex sentences and expressive skills!

Halloween Fun at Home 🎃 | Speech Sounds Disguised as Candy!

Halloween isn’t just for treats, it’s a perfect time to sneak in some speech and language practice! 🍬

➡️ Try these activities:

Candy Sorting: “Red candy!” “Big candy!” “Round candy!” practice colors, sizes, shapes, and descriptive words.

Pumpkin Painting: “Squishy pumpkin!” “Orange pumpkin!” use adjectives and target sounds.

Trick-or-Treat Talk: Encourage your child to say “Trick or treat!” clearly, practice greetings, or describe their costume.

These simple activities are fun, festive, and educational, your child won’t even realize they’re learning! 🧡

✨ Pro Tip: Pick one activity a day and model language as you go. Even a few minutes builds vocabulary, sentence skills, and speech sounds.

🍁 Parent Tip Tuesday 🍎 | Describe, Don’t Just Name!

Did you know that describing everyday objects helps your child’s language grow naturally, especially with all the fun things fall brings?

➡️ Instead of just saying: “That’s a leaf.”
Try adding colorful fall details:

“That’s a big, orange leaf.” 🍂

“It’s fluttering down from the tree!” 🍁

“The leaf makes a crunchy sound when we step on it!” 👣

These simple fall descriptions introduce new words, concepts, and sentence patterns, all while exploring the season together.

✨ Pro Tip: Pick a fall activity: raking leaves, pumpkin picking, or baking together and describe everything you see, hear, and feel.

Learning happens best when it’s fun and festive! 🎃❤️
