When your child pulls your hand toward what they want, it’s not a “bad habit.”
It’s communication, the kind they can manage right now.

And when you model the word while giving them what they asked for, something powerful happens.
They learn that you understand them.
They learn that words match actions.
They learn that they can try the word when they’re ready.

Speech grows in safety, not stress.
Those tiny, pressure‑free moments are what help new words bloom later on.

And if you’re unsure how to build on these early communication signs, I can guide you with simple, practical steps that fit into your everyday routines.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. 🤍

Hi, I’m Melindie 👋🏼

I am a speech-language therapist with a passion for supporting children and families through clear, compassionate, evidence‑based intervention.

I work with a wide range of speech, language, and literacy needs, and I place a strong emphasis on creating a calm, supportive environment where children feel safe, understood, and empowered.

I value collaboration with parents and teachers, and I strive to make therapy approachable, practical, and meaningful for everyday life. I believe that every child has a voice and it’s my mission to unlock that voice.

🚌 Speech & Language Play Ideas with the Little People® School Bus

The Fisher-Price Little People® School Bus is more than just a toy, it’s a mini language boost. Here are simple, fun ways to build speech and language while your child plays:

🎵 1. Sound Play & Early Words

• Model fun sounds: “Beep beep!”, “Vroom!”, “Uh‑oh!”
• Use simple words: “Go!”, “Stop!”, “Up!”, “In!”, “Bye!”

👫 2. Social Language & Turn-Taking

• Take turns putting people in and out of the bus.
• Use phrases like “My turn”, “Your turn”, “Let’s go!”

🧠 3. Following Directions

Give playful instructions:
• “Put the girl in the bus.”
• “Make the bus go to the chair.”
• “Find the driver.”

🗣️ 4. Expanding Sentences

• Model short phrases and expand your child’s attempts:• Child: “Bus!”
• Adult: “Yes, big yellow bus!”
• “The bus is going up the hill.”
• “The boy is sitting.”

🎭 5. Pretend Play & Storytelling

• Create simple stories:• “The bus is late!”
• “The friends are going to school.”
• “Oh no, the bus got stuck!”

• Encourage your child to add ideas or choose what happens next.

🎨 6. Vocabulary Building

Use the bus to teach:

• People: driver, boy, girl, teacher
• Concepts: in/out, fast/slow, open/close, up/down
• Places: school, home, park
