Wednesday, October 22nd is International Stuttering Awareness Day! 💙🗣️

Today, we proudly stand with children and families around the world to raise awareness and support for those who stutter. 💬✨

Stuttering is a speech difference, not a reflection of intelligence, ability, or potential. Every individual deserves to feel confident expressing themselves — in their own time and in their own voice. 💛

👂 Let’s listen with patience.
🫶 Let’s speak with compassion.
💪 Let’s empower every voice.

Exploring food through play is a fun and effective strategy to help children engage with new foods in a way that feels safe, silly, and pressure-free! 🍽️

By touching, smelling, squishing, or creating art with it, children can gradually build comfort and curiosity. This foundation supports improved feeding skills and more positive mealtime experiences over time. 🎨🥦

If your child struggles with picky eating or sensory challenges around food, occupational therapy may be a helpful support for your child! 🪁

First words are more than just sounds — they're milestones! 🗣️

Here are a few of the most common first words we hear from little ones. Simple, meaningful, and packed with connection — these words often come from what your child sees, hears, and loves every day.

🌟 One of our amazing SLPs, Sue, recently volunteered her time with Camp BEE, supporting children with apraxia. We’re so proud to have team members who are passionate about making a difference — both in and out of the clinic! 💬🐝

We want to thank ALL our incredible student SLPs and practicing SLPs who attended Camp BEE Year One! We had an amazing team of students who were deeply dedicated to our mission. Each child received one-on-one support from an SLP throughout the day to promote carryover of skills using the principles of motor learning for CAS, along with individualized sessions. 💙

Thank you so much— you are the ones helping our campers thrive. As someone with CAS myself, I wouldn’t be where I am today without speech therapy. So thank YOU for helping these campers fight for their voice! 🐝

🧱 The building blocks of language start early!

Before kids say their first words, they’re already laying the foundation —through gestures, eye contact, sounds, and play. 👀👋🗣️

Speech and language development happens one block at a time:
👶 Babbling
🧩 Understanding words
📚 Learning new vocabulary
💬 Putting words together
🧠 Using language to express thoughts & feelings

At Como, we meet kids where they are and help them build strong communication skills — one step at a time. 💛

🌈 Every child is wonderfully unique.

At Como, we celebrate differences - in how kids learn, move, speak, and connect with the world.

Some kids need more time, some need more support, and all deserve to be seen, understood, and celebrated just as they are.

Because different isn't less — it's what makes each child shine in their own way.

🧠 Occupational therapists help kids build the strength, coordination, and confidence they need for everyday movements — like climbing stairs, hopping on one foot, or riding a bike! 🚲💨

Gross motor skills are the big movements that support big milestones — and OTs are here to make those steps fun, engaging, and just right for your child’s needs.

From obstacle courses to balance games, we turn therapy into play so kids can grow, move, and thrive!
