A team that works well together and actually enjoys each other makes all the difference! To celebrate Occupational Therapy Month, our speech-language pathologists are sharing what they appreciate about their OT counterparts and highlighting the incredible ways they support, inspire, and make a difference every day!

Here are just a few things they had to say about OT director Jeanette Jones:

“Jeanette is a kind and bubbly person who always brings the sunshine to KCC.” 💙 Lara

“Rock star! Always willing to cover kids and keep moving with compassion and skill.” 🧡Jen

“Jeanette always has a smile and the kids love her.” 💚Christina

Spring has sprung and your little ones are probably anxious to get outside! Our ABA team came up with four fun activities they’ll love that are simple to pull off and use things you already have at home…

NATURE COLOR HUNT 🌼
Create a list of items a child might find outdoors and include a visual cue for each to show the color to look for, such as a matching crayon mark next to each item. As the child finds each item, have them place it in a bag or basket, or just snap a photo.

SIDEWALK CHALK OBSTACLE COURSE 🖍️
Draw a fun path for your child to follow: circles to jump in, lines to balance on, arrows to lead the way.

BUG HUNT 🐛
Challenge your child to find five different kinds of bugs. Take pictures of each along the way so you can talk about them later.

BLANKET BALL BOUNCE 🔵
This at-home activity is similar to using a parachute at school, but with a blanket instead. Place a few balls on the blanket and work together to bounce them around.

TRUE OR FALSE? Kids should never draw on walls!

FALSE…within reason 😉

Drawing on vertical surfaces is actually incredibly helpful for fine motor development! It strengthens and stabilizes shoulders, promotes proper wrist position and grip on writing utensils, and helps with visual attention to tasks. Plus, it’s a fun change for kids.

It’s important to set clear boundaries: vertical writing is for approved spots only! Encourage the use of a chalkboard, dry erase board, or easel. You can even tape paper to the wall and let them go to town. Same benefits, no masterpieces on your paint. 🖍️

Reach out to us if your child has fine motor development challenges. We’re here to help!

Colorful plastic eggs are great for targeting speech, language, articulation, and social skills. You can fill them with miniature favorites of all kinds, from vehicles to animals to characters...the possibilities are endless. Plus, the eggs are easy to find this time of year…and may be on sale soon!

EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE SKILLS
🔸Labeling: what is it?
🔸Describing: color, size, function
🔸Expanding utterances and targeting carrier phrases: “I found _____”

RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE SKILLS
🔸Sorting: color or category
🔸Identifying objects: by feature, function, class (find the one you eat, the one with a beak, the one that’s a food)
🔸Following directions: open the blue egg (one-step direction); open the blue egg and give me what’s inside (two-step direction)

ARTICULATION SKILLS
Fill eggs with items that include any speech sounds or target words your child is working on in speech therapy. For example, if they are working on /s/ in the initial position of words, you could fill eggs with things like mini suns, shoes, seagulls, seahorses, etc.

SOCIAL SKILLS
🔸Taking turns: picking colors and opening the eggs, practicing waiting patiently for a turn
🔸Commenting on others’ finds: “Oh, I like that!” “That’s cool!”

Kids with Challenges Become Champions at the KCC!

The Kaufman Children’s Center for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor and Autism Treatment is an award-winning and internationally recognized pediatric private practice located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. We offer speech-language and occupational/sensory-motor therapy, as well as applied behavior analysis (ABA) autism programs, social skills groups, and many more services that help kids live their very best lives.

The KCC is also the home base of speech-language pathologist Nancy R. Kaufman, our owner/director and renowned expert in childhood apraxia of speech. When she’s not working with local, out-of-state, and even international families who come to the center for her evaluations and intensive programs, she travels the world teaching fellow SLPs how to best help kids using her Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP). Realizing that one therapy approach does NOT fit all, the Kaufman Children’s Center creates an individualized treatment program for each child. Our center houses a staff of extensively trained, talented speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, board-certified behavior analysts, and ABA technicians who work together as a team for the best interests of each child.

The KCC’s reputation for successful outcomes caused us to outgrow our facility and expand into a neighboring building in early 2018. Our “K2” location is right across the parking lot and geared specifically toward children with autism spectrum disorders. This expansion has allowed us to move dozens of children off our ABA wait list and into programs that will bring about meaningful changes in their lives.

Specialized and innovative therapeutic methods include: The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) Speech and language therapy Applied behavior analysis (ABA)/verbal behavior Occupational therapy Sensory integration therapy Social language skills groups for many age ranges Specialized feeding & oral-motor programs Craniosacral therapy Fast ForWord® cognitive training Handwriting Without Tears® Interactive Metronome® Therapeutic Listening® We are here to help! Contact us if you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, sensory, motor, or social development. We are always happy to address your questions by phone, and if needed schedule an evaluation.
