Let’s train for trick-or-treating! 🍬 Practicing ahead of time helps children feel confident, safe, and ready for the big night.

✨ Try it with dolls, stuffies, neighbors, or family members.
✨ Practice knocking on the door and greeting with ‘Trick or Treat!’.
✨ Support safety by teaching kids to wait for the door to open, walk with a buddy, and stay on the path.

🧡 Remember, communication can happen in many ways—through visuals, AAC devices, ASL, or speech. Celebrate every attempt, whether it’s a picture card, a button press, a sign, or a word. Multimodal communication helps every child join in the Halloween fun!

Knock knock! 🚪 Flip-book play (or even knocking on a pretend door) can be a fun way to practice greetings and turn-taking.

✨ Say ‘hello’ when the door opens.
✨ Say ‘goodbye’ when it closes.

This playful routine supports social connection, anticipation, and language skills—all while sparking giggles. 🎃

October is AAC Awareness Month 💬✨

AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) includes any tool that helps a child communicate—gestures, pictures, core boards, or high-tech speech-generating devices.

Families often worry that using AAC will stop their child from speaking. In reality, research shows the opposite—AAC encourages speech, reduces anxiety, and helps children build confidence in sharing their voice.

At Chickadee Chatter, we are proud to support children and families on their AAC journey. Because every voice, no matter how it’s expressed, deserves to take flight. 🐦💛

Peek-a-boo isn’t just a silly game—it’s a powerful way to build joint attention, anticipation, and connection. 🎃 Children learn to watch, wait, and delight in what comes next. These little games help foster early communication and joyful interaction.

Just as trees let go of their leaves in the fall, sometimes parents need to let go a little, too. 🍂 Allowing children the space to try things on their own—whether it’s opening a juice box, building a tower, or climbing a rock—helps foster independence and confidence.

It doesn’t mean unsupervised, it means stepping back just enough for your child to explore, problem-solve, and discover what they can do. 🌟 Growth often comes when we let go.

Just like fall brings cozy routines, children thrive with consistent communication routines. Building little moments of practice into your day—reading together, naming items during snack, or repeating back what your child says—helps build confidence that lasts all season long. 🍁
