If your little one is walking around the house quoting Daniel Tiger like it’s their full-time job, take a breath — this might actually be how their brain learns language.

Some toddlers repeat lines from shows, songs, or movies because they’re processing language in chunks, not single words. This is called gestalt language processing, and it’s a valid and meaningful way kids learn to communicate.

Those phrases aren’t “random.”
They often have real meaning, even if it doesn’t sound conversational yet.

💛 For many kids, these scripts are:
• How they connect
• How they regulate
• How they communicate before breaking language down into smaller pieces

This doesn’t mean something is “wrong.”
It means your child may just be learning language differently.

At Grow Together Therapy, our speech and occupational therapy teams support toddlers exactly where they are — helping language grow naturally, through connection, play, and regulation.

💬 Did you know there are two main ways children communicate?
With words… and with their bodies.

When a child doesn’t yet have the words, or the regulation, to express their needs, their behavior becomes their communication.

You may notice things like:
• Constant movement
• Crashing, pushing, or wrestling
• Rubbing, touching, or saying “I’m itchy”
• Avoiding swings or slides
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or certain textures
• Big emotions after specific activities

These behaviors aren’t “bad behavior.”
They’re often signs of how a child’s sensory system is processing the world—whether they’re seeking or avoiding movement, touch, or body input.

At Grow Together Therapy, our Occupational Therapists help families:
✔ Understand what their child’s body language is communicating
✔ Identify sensory needs (vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile)
✔ Support regulation through play-based, developmentally appropriate therapy

✨ Does your child struggle with visual tasks—even though their vision is “normal”?

Many parents are surprised to learn that visual perception is not the same as eyesight. Visual perception is how the brain understands, organizes, and uses what the eyes see—and when it’s challenging, everyday tasks can feel really hard for kids.

You might notice your child:
• Struggles copying from the board or paper
• Reverses letters or numbers
• Has difficulty staying within lines or margins
• Gets frustrated quickly with puzzles, handwriting, or visual games
• Has trouble matching, sorting, or finding differences

💡 A child can see clearly and still struggle with visual perception.
These challenges can impact handwriting, reading, learning, confidence, and emotional regulation.

At Grow Together Therapy, our Occupational Therapists help children build the foundational visual-perceptual skills they need to learn, play, and thrive—using developmentally appropriate, play-based therapy.

💙 Hi mommas — if you’ve ever thought, “I could use a break from every big emotion my child has,” this is for you.

When kids are giving us a hard time, it’s often because they’re having a hard time. Big feelings, overwhelmed brains, and bodies that don’t yet know how to regulate can come out as meltdowns, shutdowns, or behaviors that feel confusing and exhausting.

When a child feels dysregulated, their brain shifts into survival mode — not listening, learning, or reasoning. Sometimes nothing “bad” happened. It’s just too much information to process at once.

✨ This is where occupational therapy can help.

OT supports children by:
• Building emotional regulation skills
• Helping their nervous system feel safe
• Supporting coping, transitions, and sensory processing
• Giving parents tools — not judgment

At Grow Together Therapy, we look beyond behavior and focus on what the child’s nervous system is trying to communicate.

💛 You’re not failing.
💛 Your child isn’t broken.
💛 Support can make things feel lighter.

🧠 Did you know there are two different ways children can develop language?

Most of us grow up hearing about kids who say single words first… then two-word phrases… then sentences. And yes—that is one way language can develop.

But there’s another very common (and very real) path.

Some children learn language in chunks or phrases instead of single words. These kids are called gestalt language processors—and they often repeat lines from songs, shows, or everyday routines before breaking language down into smaller pieces.

That means phrases like:
“Let’s play with the balls together”
or
“Let’s play and swing”

➡️ can actually be early communication, not “just copying.”

Over time, those chunks get shortened, mixed, and reshaped into:
• single words
• two-word combinations
• early grammar
• full conversational language

✨ Different path. Same goal.

At Grow Together Therapy, our speech and occupational therapy teams understand gestalt language development and support children without forcing them into a one-size-fits-all approach. We meet kids where they are—and help language grow through connection, play, and regulation.

🧸 Many children don’t yet have the words for big feelings — but they always have a way to communicate.

For some kids, emotions come out through play long before they come out through words. Play therapy creates a safe, supportive space where children can express themselves, build trust, and grow at their own pace.

✨ Play therapy isn’t about fixing behavior.
It’s about helping children feel:
• Safe
• Understood
• Regulated
• Confident

Through play, children can work on:
✔️ Emotional regulation
✔️ Social skills & anxiety
✔️ Confidence and self-expression

At Grow Together Therapy, we meet children where they are — honoring their unique way of communicating and supporting growth naturally, not forcefully.

📍 Play therapy services are offered through the Autism and Jon Peterson Scholarships only.
📞 Contact our office to learn more and see if your child qualifies.

💛 Because every child deserves support that feels safe, respectful, and developmentally appropriate.

✨ Does your child understand more than they can say? ✨

If you have a non-speaking or minimally speaking child with autism, you may have wondered:
👉 “What if they know exactly what they want to say… but can’t get the words out?”

The Spellers Program is a communication approach designed for some individuals who struggle with verbal speech but may have strong understanding and thoughts to share. Instead of focusing on spoken words, this approach supports communication through spelling or typing using a letter board or keyboard.

For some children, motor planning for speech is the biggest barrier — not comprehension or intelligence. In these cases, spelling can sometimes offer a more accessible pathway to self-generated, meaningful communication.

💛 What matters most:
• Every child deserves a way to communicate
• There is no one-size-fits-all approach
• Ethical implementation requires training, independence, and ongoing assessment
• The right support depends on the individual child

At Grow Together Therapy, we meet families exactly where they are — without pressure, assumptions, or expectations of perfection. If something feels “off,” that’s enough to start a conversation.

📍 Our speech therapist is currently the only provider in Ohio trained in the Spellers Program.
