While I love that Valentine’s Day showcases love and kindness to our children, let’s remember that we don’t need to limit these actions to only one day. Let’s model kindness and acceptance to ALL of those around us today and every day 🤍

When a child’s spoken language is delayed, we want to provide them with any and all other ways to communicate. Giving a child signs to communicate can be beneficial for so many reasons. One of the biggest benefits I’ve noticed is that using signs can reduce frustration when the child is unable to use spoken words. Introducing signs doesn’t mean we’re giving up on spoken language. It is often a bridge to help get there. Or can be a bridge to other means of communication (e.g., high tech devices).

Imagine coming to a road that is under construction and rather than be provided with an alternate route while the road is being worked on, you just had to stop there wait until they were done. Who knows how long it will take? Imagine your frustration level…🤍

To encourage your young child to use spoken words, signs, or gestures/actions, especially those they are already using, give them two choices! When we do this, we’re reducing some of the pressure to communicate, providing a model for them to imitate, and eliminating one aspect of talking/communicating—coming up with/remembering the word/sign/action they want to communicate.

Also, naming and labeling choices while showing or pointing to the objects increases their exposure to words and build their vocabulary 👍🏼

Examples: Do you want an apple or banana? More or all done? Let’s play house or cars?

Try this with your little ones to encourage their language development!

Here are a few quick tips for encouraging and supporting your child’s language development during ✨play✨

Being a ‘play partner’ means that you’re participating in your child’s play, following their lead, responding to their actions/gestures/vocalizations, talking about what they’re doing and what they’re attending to.

Being a ‘play director’ is what we want to avoid: taking charge of play, redirecting to something new or what you have, asking a lot of questions, or leading.

It may seem a little counterintuitive, but get *quiet* and get *curious*. No one likes to be ordered around and questioned all day long. Play is the perfect opportunity to let your child lead and practice their skills while you provide models in a no-pressure and fun environment 🤍

Looking for speech and language services for your child, 1 to 5 years of age? Call or email today :)

I’ve narrowed my services to focus on supporting families and their young children with phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, autism/gestalt language processing, and early language development/early intervention.

Questions can put a lot of pressure on a child to ‘perform’ and can lead to more frustration if a child doesn’t know the answer, isn’t able to produce the word, or can’t access language in that moment.

Instead, try to comment on what they’re doing, what they’re looking at, or what you see — e.g., It’s a barn! I see a cow. Blue car. Vrroom. So fast! Uh oh! On top. Puppy.

This provides so many models for them to hear, doesn’t interrupt their play, and can give them the confidence to attempt to say the words themselves without the added pressure :)

✨Rebrand coming at ya!
I’ve been much quieter on social media so far this year as I’ve been busy and happy with work and also trying to balance work-family-‘me time’.
But I’m so excited to share my new business name and logo with you! It feels like the right time to make this change and I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey as I build my private practice 🤍
