🎄✨ The Elves are BACK at Polar Speech Pathology! ✨🎄

Our cheeky little helpers Elfie and Holly have returned from the North Pole and are hiding all around our clinic! They’re here to help spread joy, celebrate communication, and have a little fun while they’re at it 😉

🕵️‍♀️ Can you SPOT THE ELF?
Each visit, keep an eye out—they love hiding in the therapy rooms, waiting areas, bookshelves, and maybe even in our sensory toys!

📸 When you find one, take a photo (if you’d like) and tell us where you spotted them.

They’ll be moving every day, so keep those eyes peeled! 😉

Let the elf hunt begin! ❄️

Speech therapy doesn’t just happen at the table — it happens through play! 🎨🧩📚

Here are some of SP Giordarna’s favourite activities to support speech and language development:

🧩 Puzzles for joint attention and early concepts

📚 Books for modelling language and sparking conversation

🎨 Painting for creativity, requesting and describing

🏞️ Picture scenes for building sentences & vocabulary.

🧱 LEGO for following directions, turn-taking & problem-solving

Play with purpose is where the magic happens 💬💛

✨AAC in Action!✨

Earlier this week, SP Giordarna visited a local daycare to provide AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) training to the educators 💬💡

One of our little clients has just received their very own AAC device, and we’re so excited to see everyone coming together to support their communication journey!

By helping educators learn how to model and use AAC throughout the day — during play, mealtimes, and group activities — we’re building a supportive environment where our clients can find their voice and be heard everywhere they go. 🗣️❤️

It takes a team to make communication accessible, and we’re so grateful for the dedication of the families and educators who are ready to make AAC part of everyday life. 🙌

🎉 We’re turning TWO! 🎉

It’s been 2 amazing years of helping little voices grow, families feel supported and communication shine brighter than ever 💬🩵

A huge THANK YOU to all our wonderful clients, families and community for being part of the Polar Speech Pathology journey - we couldn’t have done it without you! ❄️✨

Here’s to many more years of laughter, learning and language 🩵

💦 SPLASH into speech! 💦

Now the weather is warming up, it’s a great time to get the kids outside to engage in some water play activities. Water play isn’t just fun — it’s full of language opportunities!

Try adding words and phrases while your child splashes and pours:
🪣 Pour it out!
🐠 Fish swimming!
💨 Ready, set… splash!

Through play, kids learn to take turns, follow directions, and explore new describing words (wet, cold, full, empty).

💬 Tip: Keep it simple, model language naturally, and have fun together!

🐧✨ Ever heard of penguin pebbling?

It’s a sweet term from the neurodivergent community, inspired by how penguins offer pebbles to build a nest together. In human terms? It’s the small, thoughtful things we do to say:
“I saw this and thought of you.”

💬 Do I pebble as a neuro-affirming speechie?
Absolutely. It’s at the heart of child-led, relationship-first therapy.

🧠 In sessions, that looks like:
• Bringing a child’s special interest into therapy
• Adding their favourite things to AAC vocab
• Sending visuals, videos or affirmations that honour their strengths
• Offering sensory supports tailored to them

💛 And in everyday life?
Yes - I pebble all the time.
✨ Sending a friend a meme or video I know they’ll love
✨ Snapping a photo of something that reminds me of them
✨ Buying a little gift and saving it for their birthday or Christmas
✨ Showing up with something that says: “You matter to me”.
Because pebbling is connection. It’s care. It’s respect.
Not rewards. Not compliance. Just love.

✨ The Power of Literacy in Speech Pathology ✨

Did you know that literacy skills — like reading, spelling, and understanding stories — are deeply connected to speech and language development? 🧠💬

When we work on literacy in speech pathology sessions, we’re not just reading words… we’re building sound awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence! 📚💪

The best part? Literacy intervention doesn’t have to be boring! We make it FUN through:
🎲 Play-based reading games
🎤 Storytelling and role-play
🧩 Phonological awareness activities
🎨 Creative writing and drawing connections

Strong literacy skills open doors to learning, communication, and self-expression. 🌈

If you’d like support building your child’s literacy skills in a fun, evidence-based way — contact Polar Speech Pathology today. 💙
