✨Is your gut telling you that something is off with your young child's speech development?

✨It can be hard to know if speech is on track for our children when they are just starting to communicate.

✨We all have our worries and as a parent there have always been times that I wished I had trusted my gut and reached out for more support.

✨It can also feel hard to find someone to talk to about concerns when we have to go through so many hoops to even talk to a live person these days. I offer free phone consultations without any chatbots trying to answer your questions first!

Happy Spring! 🌻🌷 A perfect time for a little growth — personally and professionally.
After 12 years in private practice (yes… it only took me that long 😅), I finally have a website. Stepping outside my comfort zone isn’t always easy, but with a little encouragement from friends (and listening to Chapter 5 of The Let Them Theory more than once 🙃), I’m doing it anyway!
If you know a family who might be looking for speech and language support, I would be so grateful if you shared my information. Word of mouth means everything to a small, personalized practice like mine.💙
I have a special interest in supporting the toddler through 2nd grade population, but really I love all kids and I’m always happy to connect with families of children of any age to see if I might be a good fit or help them find another SLP.
Also — I would truly love any feedback, ideas, or suggestions on how to reach more families. Thank you for being part of this journey! 🌻✨
Please check out my website! I would love some more followers on FB and IG (links on the website). Also, thoughts, ideas, feedback are truly welcome!

There are so many different root causes for attention difficulty. This one makes me think of how important gross motor play is for children.

🌟 A Surprising Cause of Attention Problems in Kids! 🌟

Did you know that something as simple as low muscle tone could be affecting your child’s ability to focus and pay attention? 🤔

In this insightful article, we learn that weak or underdeveloped muscles, especially in the core, can actually have a big impact on a child's attention and behavior. 🧠💪

If your child struggles with staying on task, fidgeting, or getting distracted, it might be worth considering how their physical development is affecting their ability to engage mentally. 👦👧

The good news? There are plenty of fun and simple activities that can help strengthen those muscles and boost focus — from balance exercises to obstacle courses! 🏃‍♀️🧗‍♂️

Check out the full article for tips and insights on how you can support your child's attention and overall development. 🌱
