✨ Consistency that fits your life! ✨
Weekly sessions paired with simple, everyday tips can make a big difference—without adding stress to your routine.
🗣️ For speech, try narrating play, modeling keywords, using expectant pauses, singing songs, and weaving learning into daily routines and interests.
âś‹ For OT, add structure with visual schedules, play in sensory bins (sand or water), take short movement breaks, and practice with simple actions like drawing or sidewalk chalk.
