So fun targeting the /L/ sound, while playing with leaves and making piles and jumping into the piles of leaves and singing songs! Gotta love the fall time! And especially love when our clients make connections and feel so proud of themselves when they realize that they can do it and they did it correctly! Love seeing those smiles of success! 😉

Did you know using ASL (American Sign Language) and visual supports can fast-track language development? 🤟
Research shows that pairing signs and visuals helps children:
🌈 Understand language faster (receptive skills)
💬 Express wants, needs, and feelings earlier (expressive skills)
🤝 Reduce frustration and increase confidence in communication

At Now You’re Talking, we integrate ASL and visuals into therapy to help every child find their voice — whether through words, signs, pictures, or all three! 💙

If your child is struggling to express themselves or understand directions, speech therapy makes all the difference.
📞 Call or DM Now You’re Talking to schedule a session and watch your child’s communication come to life! 🌟

As SLP's we use many different strategies and techniques to target speech sounds. We have lots of tools in our SLP toolbox, but one of our favorites is Sounds in Motion!

Sounds in Motion (SIM) uses gross motor movements (big body movements) paired with speech sounds (phonemes) to help children:

Learn to distinguish between different speech sounds (auditory discrimination)

Improve their articulation (production of speech sounds)

Develop phonological awareness (a key pre-reading skill)

Engage physically and kinesthetically with language learning

This multi-sensory approach improves memory, engagement, and sound-symbol association—all critical for literacy.
