Could sound and energy-based practices help your child feel more calm and regulated?

We’re sharing a recorded parent training with Michelle Colombo, a licensed Reiki and sound therapist, who offers a different perspective for families who are open to exploring additional ways to support their child.

In this session, she explains how sound can help support the nervous system. There is growing evidence that sound-based approaches can promote relaxation and regulation, which may be helpful for children with anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or difficulty staying calm and focused.

This is not meant to replace therapy, but to give parents another option to consider as part of a well-rounded approach to supporting their child.

If you’re curious and open to learning more, this may be a helpful resource.

At Bayside, we don’t rush their words 💛
We listen. We wait. We help them get it out.

Because every child deserves to be heard.

Kids with apraxia sometimes have a hard time moving between certain sounds, their brain knows what they want to say, but getting the mouth to follow along takes extra practice.

Today we used bubble popping to work on the word “pop” 🎉 Using special teaching techniques (called PROMPT and DTTC), we met our kiddo where they were and celebrated every attempt along the way.

Speech therapy doesn’t always look like flashcards, sometimes it looks like this. 🙌

A team that laughs together stays together 🫶

The Winter Olympics have arrived at Bayside ❄️🏅
Turns out therapists are way better at cheering than competing
Teamwork, movement, laughter… and a little chaos.
