If I had to ask my younger self if I saw myself working in paediatrics, the answer would be a firm "No", thinking I would be an adult therapist 🧠

Since starting my practice, implementing Floortime Principles, and managing the progress, there is honestly nowhere else I would rather be 🧸
The answer to "Why do I use a FloorTime Approach?" is simply, "it's natural and THE BEST!" 🌟

With a heart filled with gratitude, thank you to each and every person who voted for my practice as "Best Speech Therapist" in the "Best of Ballito 2025 Reader's Choice Awards" 💙✨

Turning 3 years old, and winning the title of "Best Speech Therapist" for the third year in a row has left me humbled!
This would not have been possible without the love and support from my family, husband, friends, mentors, colleagues and clients..

Here's to the second half of 2025, and making each moment count! 🚀
We have had things shuffle around behind the scenes, resulting in our silence, but will be sharing some exciting updates with you all soon.

These are the moments that keep us going 🫶

All my love,
Kirsten

After 18 months, we're saying a bittersweet goodbye to our incredible speech therapist, Amber. It feels like just yesterday this "little person with a huge, bubbly personality" joined our team, and she's certainly leaving a huge Amber-shaped hole in our hearts! 💙

Dedicated, patient, kind, and confident – these are just a few words that describe Amber perfectly. She's touched and impacted so many families with her hard work, determination, and excellent level of service, and we're truly going to miss her.

As Amber embarks on new adventures in Johannesburg, we know Joburg has gained another piece of gold. Amber-mam, you've built such a beautiful name for yourself. Go out there and grab every opportunity that comes your way! ✨

Wishing you all the very best 🫶

2025 has been off to a wonderful and busy start! We have been quiet on social media, but very active behind and on the scenes 🚀

During April our team attended a 3 day course learning more about Oromyofunctional Disorders and Therapy.
We are excited to announce that Myofunctional Therapy is now offered at Kirsten Talbot Speech Therapy 🤩

We will share more information regarding this area of intervention with you all, soon!

Have a super week, and may the month of May be kind to us all 🫶

Greeting February goodbye while reflecting on the kind words received about our therapist, Amber ✨

"Working with Amber to help my son with his speech has been such a rewarding experience for both of us. He has the most fun learning how to speak correctly by playing games with Amber who is so patient and kind. The compliments I receive by others on how well his speech has progressed in such a short time has been amazing. Thank you Amber for being such a wonderful person and therapist."

A huge thank you to Andrea Thysse for sharing their experience. We are so grateful to be part of your journey 🚀

Therapy tip Tuesday: Imitate your child's sounds and actions. ✨

Imitation is a wonderful way to get interaction going.
- When your child bangs on a toy drum, take a turn and bang on the drum too. Then WAIT to see their reaction.
- If they say "Oooh" when you blow bubbles, say "Oooh" back, then look to see if they have noticed you.
- If they push a ball across the floor, do the same, then WAIT fo their reaction.

Imitation is an important skill for your child to learn. Imitating them encourages them to notice you and even imitate you, if they are ready for this 😁

WAITING during an activity creates and opens a communication loop. This encourages your child to "tell" you to continue, allowing them to experience the power of communication. It is often in the WAITING where we notice the different attempts at communication (Hanen, 2019).

Thank you for your support during the start of 2025! We cannot believe the bursts of laughter & therapy wins already experienced this year.

May the rest of February be kind to us all 🌸
Kirsten & Amber
