🎯 Personalized Therapy Targets = Happy Learners 🎯

When working with children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), I always start with what excites them.

Pro Tip: Gather a list of the child’s ‘favorites’ from their caretaker to create motivating, engaging activities that are meaningful and fun.

- Does your child love dinosaurs? 🦕 🦖
- Obsessed with ice cream? 🍦
- Can’t get enough of their puppy? 🐾

These interests can serve as a guide in selecting which sound movements to practice sequencing and coarticulating. Why? Because when therapy is meaningful and fun, progress happens faster - and it sticks!

By weaving therapy into your child’s favorite activities, we build confidence, maintain high motivation, and create lasting progress.

At Sunny Skies Therapy, every session is tailored to your child’s unique needs and interests. Ready to make speech therapy fun and effective? Visit www.sunnyskiestherapy.com or send a DM!

This is one of my favorite quotes, and it was one of the first things I hung up at Sunny Skies Therapy. It’s a beautiful reminder that even in moments of doubt, we all have the inner strength to rise above challenges and exceed our own expectations.

Today, let this be your reminder: trust yourself. You are more resilient, capable, and courageous than you may realize 🧸🤍

Modeling high frequency words for your child builds a strong language foundation, making it easier for them to communicate their needs.

Carrier phrases are simple, repetitive phrases used in early intervention to support language development. They provide a consistent framework, helping children focus on key words and concepts within a familiar structure.

Once your child has mastered communicating at the single word level and/or is ready to advance to longer sentences, try modeling these carrier phrases!

My therapy approach is:
✨ Play-based
✨ Child-led
✨ Neurodiversity affirming

I tailor my pediatric speech therapy sessions to your child’s unique needs, interests, and strengths!

Pizza and ice cream party 🎉
Building language skills through imaginative play:

- Social engagement
- Vocabulary expansion
- Turn-taking
- Following directions
- Expanding grammatical structures / complexity
- Speech clarity

Therapy should be both playful and purposeful. When children are engaged, their language skills grow in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them!

Perceiving bodily states provides crucial information to a person about their internal condition, such as recognizing feelings of tiredness, anxiety, or hunger.

This awareness helps individuals understand their physical and emotional needs, prompting them to take appropriate actions.

For example, recognizing the sensation of heavy eyes may signal the need for rest, sweaty hands might indicate anxiety that could be managed through deep breathing exercises, and a grumbling stomach suggests the need for food.

By accurately perceiving these bodily cues, individuals can implement strategies to address their needs, enhancing their ability to self-regulate and maintain overall well-being.

Need some quick strategies for boosting early language?!

If you notice your child/client struggling to initiate communication on their own, these tips are super helpful. They’re designed to be highly motivating and meaningful for the child.

Important note: I don’t withhold an item if they don’t imitate a model/prompt. My goal is for language therapy to feel fun, safe, and empowering - NOT like “work” or discouraging. If you have concerns about your child’s language, I recommend consulting with an SLP!

There’s plenty more language strategies out there for early intervention - I just wanted to share a few of them in an easy to digest format. Hope this helps!

Learning high-frequency words can be so motivating for your child. The best part: All these words can easily be incorporated into daily routines! Built-in homework! 🥳

The more your child hears these words, the more they will start to associate them with daily activities, making them more likely to imitate when they are comfortable and familiar with the routines!
