🌟 Are you a young adult working in a busy environment and finding it hard to keep up with the language demands of your job? 🌟

Do you ever struggle with things like:
🧠 Processing requests or instructions
📝 Organising tasks or following complex directions
💬 Responding verbally on the spot
📄 Making sense of written documents
✉️ Formulating emails or writing reports
🤝 Interacting with colleagues, clients, or customers
📅 Participating in meetings

Did you know a Speech and Language Therapist can help with all of these?

I’m exploring the idea of offering a support group for young adults who experience these challenges.
The group would be a space to:
✨ Share experiences with others who understand
✨ Learn strategies to support communication at work
✨ Build confidence in everyday workplace tasks

I’d love to hear from you if you—or someone you know—might benefit. Please feel free to reach out with any comments or questions, and let me know if you’d be interested! 💬🗳️

It’s been a busy Monday at The Speech Hut! Today was packed with playful learning and storytelling!
✨ Our clients explored Panda Speech’s amazing adapted lift-a-flap books—boosting topic vocabulary, building sentences, answering yes/no questions, and following directions.
🐛 “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” made an appearance too, helping us dive into sequencing, before/after concepts, and even some early maths!
🧱 Meanwhile, other clever minds got inventive with Blockaroos—constructing imaginative contraptions while smashing their articulation goals!

And the fun continues…
💬 I’m lucky to have my brilliant SLT student with me tomorrow AND Thursday. It’s such a joy to have a passionate, likeminded future therapist join my team!

This afternoon I took a break from clients and admin to catch up with the brilliant Kirsteen Grieve at her beautiful Movement Physiotherapy bothy (and a delicious lunch!). We chatted all things private AHP practice—sharing insights, ideas, and exciting possibilities for collaboration.

Kirsteen’s passion for paediatric physiotherapy is so inspiring and it was amazing to get her wisdom on running a successful business! If you’re not already following her, go check out her page—highly recommended for anyone seeking expert, child-centred care!

Working as a sole practitioner again can get lonely sometimes! Experienced specialist therapists in Scotland are few and far between and we tend to be very busy people! So I was absolutely delighted to finally meet up in person with paediatric speech and language therapist .zoe_roxburgh_slt who shares my passion for supporting children and families as effectively as possible using modern and innovative approaches. A time for supporting each other and sharing experiences of building and running a successful business single handedly and the challenges this brings! But also discussing a vision of shared working which could be so beneficial to many of our families including those living more remotely across Scotland and beyond! So keep a look out for future announcements and give Zoe’s page a wee follow. K 😊

☀️ 🍂 HOLIDAY DATES 🍂 ☀️

I’m officially on holiday!! Returning back to work Wednesday 1st October!

As much as I adore seeing my lovely clients each week, it’s time for a much-needed family adventure to visit our good friends back in America 🇺🇸. During this break, I’ll be offline—no emails or phone calls—so I can fully recharge.

I can’t wait to return feeling refreshed and ready to welcome my first student SLT into the Speech Hut team! Exciting times ahead 💬✨

See you all soon,
— Dr. Roxy 🩵

This afternoon we’re pairing functional requests using low/no-tech AAC with signs, using colour concepts, animal vocabulary and working on speech sound stimulability ALL within ONE activity!

We can work on so many speech and language targets while we play using simple activities!

🩺 Learning Saturday!
Today was all about safety and confidence in first aid—I spent the day with Mini First Aid Fife updating my first aid certification 💚

At The Speech Hut, every child and family deserves to feel safe when they attend their sessions. Whether it’s messy play, karaoke fun, or a wee tumble during rough-and-tumble time, I’m now even better equipped to keep everyone safe while we learn and grow together.

Huge thanks to Mini First Aid Fife & Forth Valley for being so knowledgable and for making the training so practical and enjoyable!

Good luck to all of my clients who begin their journey at school or nursery today or who are returning to start a new year of school!! I am so proud of everything you have all achieved so far and know that you are going to do great things this year! 🌟

🌿 Today’s setup at The Speech Hut 🌿
We’re all set for a playful day full of early interaction and language-building magic! At The Speech Hut, we head outdoors whenever we can—and here’s why:

Outdoor learning doesn’t just spark joy, it fuels play skills, language growth, and meets the sensory needs of our little communicators.

With rotating stations, we can flow from structured indoor tasks to role play in the playhouse, turn-taking games at the skittles, and obstacle course fun that builds listening, movement, and shared enjoyment 💬🏃‍♂️🎳

Where speech meets sunshine—why would we not take advantage of that?!

🎉 Client Spotlight 🎉

Speech milestones like this deserve a celebration!

One of my older clients has been powering through his speech sound goals with incredible determination.

When we first met, his assessment showed 68% consonants correct, with sounds like /k/, /g/, /ng/, /sh/, /ch/, /j/, and /r/ posing a challenge—plus a bit of motor control difficulty.

Using a motor-based approach and the brilliant animations from the STAR app to provide visual models and gestural instruction, we focused in on /k/, /g/, and /ng/. With practice, persistence, and a dash of speechy magic…he’s now confidently using /k/, /g/, /ng/, /sh/, /ch/, and /j/ across all word positions in spontaneous speech! ✨

🗓️ Today’s reassessment? 91% consonants correct!
Next up: tackling that final mastery of /r/!

Proud is an understatement. 👏

🇺🇸 ➡️ 🇬🇧 One year ago today, we packed up our lives in Texas and made the journey back to Scotland—to be closer to what matters most: family.

While we miss many parts of our American adventure (hello sunshine, iced coffees and BBQ!), I’m so humbled to be home. Surrounded by family and close friends and chasing a dream that now feels real every single day.

Launching my own business has been the most fulfilling leap—creating space for balance in my work and family life. I’m doing what I love, supporting children and families on their communication journeys, and still soaking up precious time with my own little crew.

I’m so grateful for all of my past and current families over the last 7 months for making my dream a reality and for trusting me in supporting you. I can’t wait to welcome more new families to The Speech Hut fam over the coming weeks/months/years!

Here’s to one year of bold moves and meaningful milestones. ❤️
