One thing you can never do is outplay us… we play all day. We play professionally.

When your job is helping kids grow through play, you become a master at it.
Pretend play? ✓
Sensory play? ✓
Turn-taking games? ✓
High-energy movement play? ✓
Calm, connection-building play? ✓

Our therapists spend every day tuning into each child’s interests, imagination, and strengths…and turning it into meaningful learning. Because play isn’t just fun… it’s the backbone of speech, language, social skills, emotional regulation, and confidence. 💛

So yes… we play professionally.
And we absolutely love it. 🌈

Start of the day vs end of the day
If you know, you know. 😂

At 9am our team is bouncing down the hallway, arms full of toys, energy high, ready to bring the fun. By 5pm… well… let’s just say the bubbles have popped and the nap is calling. 😴

As we roll toward the end of the year, we know everyone’s feeling that deep-in-your-bones tired…therapists, teachers, parents, all of us. But every morning, without fail, our team shows up with enthusiasm!

Because no matter how long the day is, helping kids grow their communication skills is the best part of what we do. 💛

Mr Potato Head is a staple in our clinic - and for good reason! 🥔💛

This classic toy is so much more than just fun. It’s one of our favourite go-to activities because it supports so many areas of early language and communication development. Here’s why we love using it:

🔝 Prepositions - Perfect for modelling and practising location words such as on, under, next to, behind, and in. (“Put the hat on his head!”)

👀 Nouns + Vocabulary - A great way to teach and strengthen vocabulary for body parts, clothing items, colours, and more.

📈 Expanding Language - We can easily grow language from single words to longer phrases. “Shoes” → “Green shoes” → “Put on green shoes.”

💭 Imaginative Play + Social Interaction - Building silly, creative potatoes encourages pretend play, shared enjoyment, taking turns, and engaging in back-and-forth interactions.

👂 Following Instructions - Fantastic for practising simple and multi-step instructions in a playful, low-pressure way.

🔄 Turn Taking - Setting up “your turn / my turn” moments supports social communication and helps children practise waiting, sharing, and joint attention.

A small toy that creates big opportunities for language, learning, and connection!!

As a speech pathologist and soon-to-be mum, these are the communication habits I’ll be weaving into everyday life from the very beginning.

Nothing overwhelming. Nothing “extra.”
Just small, evidence-backed moments that help babies feel connected, understood, and curious about the world.

🍼Pausing for early turn-taking.
🍼Talking about what my baby is already looking at.
🍼Using clear facial expressions and playful sounds.
🍼Keeping language simple and repetitive during routines.
🍼And reading — even if it’s just one page a day.

VERBS DURING MEALTIME

Speech pathology home practice doesn’t have to be complicated. Language can be modelled during everyday routines such as mealtimes 🍴🍴

Talk about what you’re doing — “cutting”, “spreading”, “mixing”, “pouring”.

These action words (verbs) help your child learn how to build longer phrases like “cut apple” or “pour juice”.

Simple everyday moments = powerful language practice ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you’re noticing a few bumps in your child’s speech or communication, it might be time to chat with a speech therapist! At Embrace, we help little voices be heard, understood, and confident - embracing their full potential. 🧡
