Meet Shelby! We are so happy to welcome Shelby to Speech Community. They will be joining us on Tuesdays and we cannot wait for our families to get to know them.

Shelby is a Speech Language Pathologist who began their career in the United States before making Ontario home. They are deeply committed to neurodiversity affirming care and love supporting children through play, connection, and collaboration. Their approach is gentle, engaging, and grounded in celebrating each child’s strengths.

When they are not in the therapy room, you can often find Shelby cooking something delicious, working through a crossword puzzle, or exploring new spots through local food, music, and nature. They bring curiosity, creativity, and a genuine love of learning to everything they do.

We are so excited to have Shelby on our team. Their warmth, values, and passion for child led therapy are such a wonderful fit for Speech Community.
Welcome, Shelby! 💖

About last Wednesday...
We had such a great time at the Recreation and Community Services Fair at the Woolwich Memorial Center. It was wonderful meeting families, sharing resources, and connecting with our community.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make it a success for the help and .candles.inc for the pictures!

Shoutout to the team who were right beside us at the booth, and to the We All Belong Waterloo Region campaign . It was so nice spending the evening alongside both teams!

🎃🕷️ Homemade Halloween Game!
We made our own spooky version of Kerplunk using spaghetti noodles, a strainer and Halloween creatures! A great way to work on turn-taking, fine motor skills, and language while having fun.

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and inclusive Halloween from Speech Community! 👻

✨ Exciting news! ✨

Our new stair risers are up at the Woolwich Memorial Centre, a place where so many community members come together to stay active, connect, and feel safe.

I also couldn’t resist wearing another one of my favourite meaningful tees today, “Meet Kids Where They Are,” which feels perfectly fitting for our mission at Speech Community!

Next time you are at the WMC, keep an eye out for our stair risers and say hi if you see me around!

Today we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour the children, families, and communities impacted by residential schools. It is a time to reflect, learn, and move forward together in the spirit of reconciliation.

At Speech Community, we believe every child’s voice matters. This day reminds us of the importance of listening, learning, and creating a community where all children feel safe, valued, and heard.

Here are some meaningful ways families and classrooms can engage today:
📚 Read books by Indigenous authors and storytellers
🥣 Try traditional Indigenous foods and talk about their history
🎨 Explore Indigenous art, music, and dance
🌱 Learn about the land you live on and its traditional caretakers
💬 Have open, age-appropriate conversations about why “Every Child Matters”

Speech Community operates on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Chonnonton, and Haudenosaunee peoples. We are grateful to live, learn, and work in this community and remain committed to ongoing reconciliation.

TOY TUESDAY: Toy Bus 🚌

This little bus isn’t just fun to drive around – it’s also a fantastic tool for practicing speech and language skills!

Speech Sound Practice:
- Practice sounds like “b” for bus, “d” for door, or vehicle words like go, beep, and stop.

Receptive Language:
- Follow directions such as “put the driver in the bus” or “open the door.”

Expressive Language:
- Encourage children to request (“I want the bus”), narrate play (“the bus is driving”), or use social phrases like “all aboard!”

Play Skills:
- Pretend play opportunities are endless; drive to school, pick up passengers, and practice turn-taking with the bus and driver.

Everyday toys like this can create exciting opportunities for communication!

✨ Progress is Not Linear ✨
Such an important reminder, not only for our clients but for ourselves too. Growth takes time, patience, and self-kindness.

This amazing shirt is from and I absolutely love the bright colours and positive message (I can't resist a meaningful shirt).
The coolest part? I had already heard about them and when I finally ordered, I realized the pick up spot was literally across the street from my place right here in Elmira!

Shout out to Dollar Tree in Elmira for carrying these inclusive children’s books!
Each one shares powerful social-emotional messages (confidence, caring, and empowerment) through engaging, interactive flaps. The diverse illustrations make them a wonderful tool for building empathy, self-esteem, and positive identity in young readers. And at only $1.75 each, they are such an affordable find! 🍂

Couldn’t resist the cute fall pumpkins either 🎃🍂
