Communicating Confidently

I often have parents ask, "Is this normal?" There's a lot to communication, but I thought I'd share a few tidbits from the American Speech Hearing and Language Association
(https://www.asha.org/public/developmental-milestones/communication-milestones-2-to-3-years/)

Here's a little bit about typical language development for 2- to 3-year-olds. If this leaves you with more questions than answers, reach out to me!

Twice a week I leave my beautiful office to drive to rural Durand to do therapy in homes. If you live near Mondovi or Durand and are interested in learning more about doing speech therapy in your home, at a daycare, or in a community site near you, reach out to me!

Why come to Communicating Confidently? Because I have training in orofacial myology! This means I can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy. It also means I have a much deeper understanding of the anatomy and function of the muscles of the face and mouth (orofacial muscles). Reach out to me if you want to learn more!

It's been a LONG time since I've posted, but a lot has happened that I'm so excited to share with you!
** I have been having a wonderful time serving kids virtually and in person!
** I completed training in Orofacial Myology, so I can provide additional services/support to my clients (I'll be sharing more on this!)
** I'm getting an office space! Until mid-May my primary office hours will just be on Fridays, but during the summer, I'll be expanding that considerably.

If you are interested in speech or myofunctional therapy, reach out to me! I'd love to learn more about what you need, and if I can help you!

We’re having great fun and success doing speech therapy in the library this summer 🌞Check out this recent testimonial from one mother, Amanda:

"Starting the process of getting speech help for my son felt really hard, like a constant uphill battle ... and then we found Tiffany! To have a professional come into our lives that immediately saw and validated my concerns without writing us off as 'normal enough to not need help' still brings me to tears. Her evaluation and support led us to finding so many more available resources for our 3 year old that fear and concern have turned to hope and excitement. My son loves Miss Tiffany and can't wait to work with her each week. They have so much fun while working hard and she is so positive and has put in the effort to get to know him and plan activities that he is interested and excited to engage in. Tonight my son put his tongue into the position they have been working on and his eyes got so big as he proclaimed he can't wait to show Miss Tiffany! Our family will be forever grateful!"

It's hard to believe how quickly summer is coming up! Sign your child up to keep on working on their speech/language goals this summer. Scheduling is flexible and sessions are great fun (while remaining goal driven, of course!)
