📣 Tips for Boosting Your Child’s Language Skills 💬✨

Want to help your child talk more? Try these simple and effective strategies:

1️⃣ Show, don’t pressure. Say the word or phrase you’d like your child to learn—like “purple block”—instead of telling them to repeat it. Modeling builds confidence and understanding.

2️⃣ Let your child take the lead. Follow their interests and join in on their play. This creates natural opportunities for meaningful language and connection.

3️⃣ Use simple words and short phrases that match your child’s level. It makes it easier for them to copy you and join in.

4️⃣ Let your child see your mouth when you speak. Watching how your lips and tongue move helps them learn how to make speech sounds more clearly.

👶💡 Little changes = big language growth!

Don’t miss this meaningful discussion that brings together clinical expertise, parental perspective, and the importance of early intervention in airway and sleep health.

Stay tuned—your child’s sleep may depend on it.

Supporting your child’s speech and language development can begin with simple, everyday interactions at home. 🏡🗣️ Whether you’re preparing meals, engaging in play 🧸, or reading together 📖, these moments offer valuable opportunities to model and encourage communication. Here are five evidence-based strategies to promote speech and language: narrating daily routines, emphasizing speech sounds, incorporating pretend play, reading and repeating familiar books, and making meaningful real-life connections. These approaches are effective for all children, including those using AAC. 💡 With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, families can make a lasting impact on their child’s communication growth.

Ever wondered what speech therapy really entails? It’s not just about helping someone talk—speech therapy supports children with a variety of communication needs. From speech sound disorders and stuttering to challenges with understanding (receptive language) and expressing thoughts (expressive language), it covers a wide range of skills. It also helps with social communication—like taking turns in conversation, understanding body language, and knowing what to say and when. For children who are nonverbal or have limited speech, speech therapy can also include AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) to help them communicate effectively. Speech therapy can make a powerful impact on a child’s ability to connect, learn, and thrive. 🧠🗣️✨

Last Day of Craniosacral Training! 🙌🏼

What an incredible journey it’s been! As we wrap up the final day of this transformative Craniosacral Therapy course, we’re filled with deep gratitude—for the knowledge gained, the guidance received, and the powerful healing potential this work holds.

From anatomy to intention, stillness to subtle motion, I’ve learned to listen with more than just my hands. I’m excited to integrate these techniques into my work, supporting patients with greater presence, awareness, and care.

Ready to apply, ready to serve, and ready to keep learning.

Day one of craniosacral therapy training is complete—and I’m already feeling so inspired. 🌿🧠
It’s incredible to start exploring how gentle, hands-on techniques can support the nervous system, release fascial restrictions, and beautifully complement orofacial myofunctional therapy.

Even more special—this class was a prize I won at the IAOM Convention last year! Just one of the many unexpected benefits of being part of a community that supports connection, growth, and continuing education. 🙌

I’m also excited to be connecting today with Julia from TOTS Therapy, an amazing OT whose work I’ve admired for a while. Looking forward to collaborating with her and continuing to build bridges across disciplines.

There’s so much power in working together—and I’d love to connect with other providers who support airway health, oral function, and whole-body wellness. Let’s keep learning from and with each other.

🎉 Another therapy graduation!

In just 12 weeks, this incredible adult patient went from experiencing jaw, shoulder, and neck tension with limited range of motion—to full relief and freedom of movement.

With consistent therapy and a successful frenectomy along the way, we saw remarkable changes as the tension melted away and function improved.

So proud of the dedication and effort that made this transformation possible! 💪💫

Speech sounds are the building blocks of spoken language. When children learn to produce sounds accurately, they strengthen their ability to express ideas, build vocabulary, and connect with others. If you notice your child struggling with certain sounds, early support from a speech-language pathologist can make a big difference—don’t hesitate to reach out to Westchester Myofunctional Specialties.
