We love arts & crafts in Speech! 🎨✂️

Check out this adorable doggy mask. It’s more than just cute; it’s a speech therapy powerhouse where our SLPs can target a variety of goals! 🐶💬

While getting crafty, we work on:
🐾 Prepositions/spatial concepts: “on,” “under,” “next to”
🐾 Body part labeling: eyes, ears, nose, mouth
🐾 Following directions ✅
🐾 “I” statements and actions: “I cut,” “I glue,” “I put it on”
🐾 Requesting: “I want,” “I need”
… and so much more!

Fun + function = the best kind of learning! 🧠

October is AAC Awareness Month - and at Creative Speech Solutions, this month holds deep meaning for us as Speech-Language Pathologists & Occupational Therapists.

We are passionate about empowering every individual to communicate in a way that works for them. For many of our clients, AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) isn’t just a tool - it’s a lifeline. It's how they say "I love you," ask for help, share a joke, or express who they truly are.

Raising awareness about AAC matters because:
✔️ It breaks down misconceptions about who uses AAC and why.
✔️ It promotes access to communication for ALL - regardless of age, ability, or diagnosis.
✔️ It reminds the world that behavior is communication - and with the right support, everyone can have a voice.
✔️ It helps families, educators, and communities become allies in the journey toward independence and connection.

At CSS, we stand with AAC users, their families, and all the professionals working to support them. Because communication is a human right, and no one should be left without a voice.
