🎃 It’s Uh Oh Pumpkin time!!! 😎 What’s an uh oh pumpkin you ask? It’s one that has taken a spill and splatted on the floor....uh oh! This craft is one of my favorite things to do year after year... why? Because you can target every single goal in my room with it. Artic? Write your target words on each strip. Retell? Tell me a story about how your pumpkin fell and splatted on the ground. Describing? Use your five senses to tell what a splattered pumpkin would be like. Listening comprehension? Here’s my story about what happened and then answer some questions. Vocabulary? Let’s brainstorm words about a pumpkin or the holiday. Whatever you need, it’s there. And it doesn’t have to be Halloween related at all, just pumpkins and fall! What other ideas do you have for this?

Parents are always wondering what they can do at home to help their child talk more. One SUPER EASY thing you can do is the “one up”. This doesn’t take any planning OR extra time- and you can do it while you do whatever you are already doing! Here are some ideas to get you started!

EVERY SLP, pediatrician, teacher, pediatric therapist/interventionist, and parent needs to see this and know the difference between milestones and averages. BOTH of these are important to know and consider when looking at a child’s development, and it’s critical to know the difference. Why? Because many parents (and pediatricians) are interpreting milestones as averages and as a result, children in need of assessment and likely intervention are NOT getting referred. In fact, when you look up milestones on the Mayoclinic and WebMD they are EASILY confused as averages as they use phrases like “say as many as 10 words!” - as if that was a lot. This leads parents to think their children are “not that far behind” when they have less words than the milestone- when in fact, the child could be significantly behind. So please understand milestones are minimums and if your child is at or below that level, they are in the bottom 10% of kids their age- which means intervention is most likely needed. It’s also important to understand the average isn’t a maximum, it’s what 50% of children are able to do- so half of the children at that age are even higher than that number. If your child is at or below the milestones listed below, please consider a speech and language evaluation!
