Have you ever wondered what is the difference between language and speech? Language is how your child understands and uses words to communicate ideas—like following directions, naming objects, or forming sentences. Speech, also called articulation, is how clearly your child pronounces speech sounds. A child might have great ideas (language skills) but be hard to understand (articulation). Our Speech Language Pathologist is here to support your child with both! 🗣️

In this picture, our friend is working on articulation using a fun dice and dot activity. He's practicing his speech sounds, naming colors and answering "What?" questions about his speech sound words!

Crawling—whether it’s in infants or used in therapy, fitness, or rehabilitation—offers a wide range of benefits. Tunnels can be a fun way to encourage crawling with our little friends!

🧠 Neurological and Developmental Benefits (especially in babies)
1. Cross-lateral brain development
• Crawling coordinates opposite sides of the body (left arm, right leg), strengthening connections between the brain’s hemispheres.
• This supports later skills like reading, writing, and coordination.
2. Visual processing
• Eye-hand coordination improves as the child looks ahead while moving.
3. Sensory integration
• Crawling engages tactile (touch), vestibular (balance), and proprioceptive (body awareness) systems.

💪 Physical Strength and Motor Skill Benefits
1. Core and shoulder strength
• Crawling builds stability and strength in the trunk and shoulder girdle—essential for posture and fine motor control.
2. Joint and muscle development
• Promotes weight-bearing through wrists, elbows, and hips, helping joint alignment and strength.
3. Balance and coordination
• Teaches the body how to shift weight effectively and balance during movement.

🧘 Therapeutic & Rehab Benefits (for kids and adults)
1. Re-trains primitive movement patterns
• Helps individuals (including those with neurological injuries) reconnect with basic motor functions.
2. Improves posture and gait
• Crawling retrains muscles to fire in the correct sequence for standing and walking.
3. Regulation and calming
• Rhythmic, repetitive movement can calm the nervous system and improve focus.

🏋️ Fitness & Functional Training Benefits
1. Full-body workout
• Engages core, shoulders, legs, and back simultaneously.
2. Injury prevention
• Builds stability and muscle balance, especially in the shoulders and hips.
3. Improves mobility and control
• Enhances overall body awareness and coordination in athletes.

Just a few cute photos of our friends working hard towards goals and enjoying some fruity treats! We had so much fun doing crafts, making and eating fruit kabobs, and exploring sensory play by making watermelon sensory bags!

✨ OT Graduation Spotlight ✨
We are celebrating a BIG milestone for our tiny OT graduate!

Sweet baby E has officially graduated from occupational therapy! From building strength through tummy time, to mastering rolling, crawling, and exploring the world through sensory play — we’ve watched such amazing growth and progress every step of the way.
We are so proud of all the progress made and can’t wait to see what’s next in her journey! 💕

Keep growing, keep exploring, and never stop moving!

This week therapy was all about bugs! One of our favorite activities was making pudding dirt cups—a fun and delicious way to work on speech and occupational therapy goals! 🐛🪱🦋🪲🍴

We practiced sequencing, following directions, and describing each step as we made our yummy treats! It was a great way to build fine motor strength and coordination, plus sensory play as we explored textures!
