AAC is not a “last resort.”

Families often worry that introducing AAC will prevent speech, but research shows the opposite. When children have access to reliable communication, we often see more language growth, not less.

If your child is showing signs of frustration or limited expressive language, AAC might be something to explore. Reach out and learn more at www.morethanwordscc.com

IEP meetings can feel overwhelming but asking questions is a great way to advocate for your child.

You don’t need to be an expert or know all the terminology. These questions can help you understand your child’s goals, services, and progress so you can feel confident as part of the IEP team.

If you’re preparing for an upcoming meeting or feeling unsure about your child’s current plan, my IEP coaching can help you review, clarify, and advocate with confidence.

Caregivers are an essential part of the IEP team. You deserve to feel confident and informed.

IEP coaching is designed to help parents and caregivers understand the process, review goals, and advocate for services that truly support your child’s communication and learning.

You don’t have to navigate it alone! Learn more at www.morethanwordscc.com

Supporting a gestalt language processor (GLP) often looks different from what many of us expect speech therapy to look like.

For GLPs, language is developed through meaningful, emotionally connected phrases.

That means our role is less about drilling and correcting and more about modeling, connection, and acknowledging the communication we’re seeing.

If you’re interested in learning more, I’m hosting a free, online session where we’ll talk through what it looks like in real life and how to support your child at home.

Some children learn language in chunks or phrases rather than single words. They move through stages as they grow toward more flexible language.

When we understand how a child is processing language, we can better support them in ways that feel respectful, effective, and connection-based.

I’ll be breaking this down in more detail during my free virtual class on January 27. Sign up at www.morethanwordscc.com/calendar

It can feel so natural to say “say…”

But for many children, pressure to repeat can actually make things harder. Instead, try modeling the word in a natural, meaningful way. You’re still teaching, just without the stress.

Small shifts in how we talk can make a big difference.
