Did you know that April 13th is National Scrabble Day? It’s a perfect reminder that learning language doesn’t have to feel like work—it can look like play.

Games like Scrabble help build essential literacy skills, including spelling, vocabulary, pattern recognition, and confidence with words. For younger learners, Scrabble Junior is especially powerful—it introduces letter-sound connections, word formation, and turn-taking in a way that feels fun and approachable.

At Speak Easy, we love incorporating Scrabble Junior into our sessions. It gives kids a chance to explore language in a low-pressure, engaging environment while still targeting important speech and literacy goals.

Because sometimes the best learning happens when it feels like a game.

With tax season officially here, we want to make sure our Speak Easy families are getting the most out of their returns!

Request Your Annual Statements

If you need a summary of your sessions and payments for the 2025 tax year to claim as medical expenses, just let us know. We are happy to provide detailed statements upon request. Just let us know by email or chat with us at the front desk.

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC)

Now is also a great time to apply for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC). This is a non-refundable tax credit that helps people with impairments (or their supporting family members) reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.

How we can help: As Speech-Language Pathologists, we are authorized to certify the "Speaking" sections of the DTC application.

Our Process: If you would like us to complete the medical practitioner portion of the form for you, we offer this service for a $40 charge.

Why apply? Beyond the tax credit itself, an approved DTC is often the "gatekeeper" to other important benefits, like the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) and the Child Disability Benefit.

If you have questions about whether your child or family member might qualify, feel free to ask us during your next visit or visit us at the link in our bio.

Autism Acceptance: Beyond the Basics

This month, we’re moving past just "awareness" and leaning into acceptance. We want to celebrate the way our neurodivergent friends see the world!

We’re all about neurodiversity-affirming care. That means we don't focus on "fixing" things, but rather on building self-advocacy and using cool tools like AAC to make sure everyone can say what’s on their mind.

If you’re looking for supportive, neurodiversity-affirming therapy, we’re here to help—learn more at the link in our bio.

The Speak Easy April 2026 Newsletter is live! You can find it at the link below. There's some really great information in there this month. Stay tuned to Facebook for more in depth information.

April is a big month for us here at Speak Easy. It’s a special time on the calendar where we get to shine a spotlight on two very important communities: it’s both Autism Acceptance Month and Parkinson’s Awareness Month.

Giant beanbag anyone? NUKO generously shared it with us, but we can’t move it as often as we need to. It is approximately 4ft by 5 ft and weighs about 50 lbs. Good for a crash pad *if you don’t ever have to move it lol!
