✨ We Found the Unicorns! ✨
We know the struggle is real. Between school drop-offs, work meetings, and the general chaos of life, finding a therapy slot that does not require a time machine is nearly impossible.
Well, grab your glitter, because we officially have a few "Unicorn" appointments! 🦄
🕒 After-Work & After-School Slots are LIVE
With some graduations from therapy, some space has opened on our calendar specifically for those high-demand times that usually have a mile-long waiting list. Whether you are looking for support for your child after the school bell rings or need a session for yourself after the 9-to-5 grind, we have you covered.

Why grab these spots?
- Zero School Disruptions: No more pulling the kids out of class.
- Work-Life Balance: Fit your speech and language goals into your day without burning your PTO.
- Consistency: Evening routines are often the best time to build lasting habits.

Note: These "Unicorn" slots are the first to go. If you have been waiting for a sign to start. This is it!

Watch as Ms. Megan demonstrates how to turn a simple book into a powerful tool!

In this video, she is using Dialogic Reading. Instead of just reading the words on the page, Ms. Megan uses prompts to elicit conversation, build vocabulary, and create a truly engaging experience for the student.

Why it works: It moves the child from a passive listener to an active participant. By asking open-ended questions and expanding on the child's responses, we are building their language skills one page at a time!

Have you tried this at home? 📚 Drop a "BOOK" emoji in the comments if you want us to send you PEER and CROWD strategies for your next storytime!

💡 Question of The Day
Q: Can their other parent or caregiver come to therapy too?
A: Absolutely! We support and encourage all caregivers to participate.

Communication doesn't just happen with one person—it happens all day long with the whole family! Whether it’s the other parent, a grandparent, or a nanny, having multiple caregivers attend sessions is a huge benefit.

Why we love a "full house":
Consistency: When everyone learns the same strategies, the client gets consistent support across their entire day.
Carryover: It’s much easier to practice at home when everyone knows the "how" and "why" behind our activities.
Confidence: We want every caregiver to feel empowered to support the client's progress outside of our clinic walls.
The Bottom Line: Our goal is to support your entire "village."

🐾 Pawject Manager Report: Otto’s Guide to "Talking" Books 📚
It’s March 11th, and I’ve been supervising the waiting room very closely. I’m seeing lots of humans looking at books, but I want to make sure you're getting the most "treats" (aka language growth) out of every page!
This week’s Mindful Monday was all about Dialogic Reading. It sounds fancy, but as a dog, I know the secret: it’s just about having a good conversation!

📚 Use the PEER Method: Don't just read the words! Prompt your child to talk, Evaluate what they say, Expand on it, and Repeat it back. It’s like a game of fetch, but with words! 🎾
📚 Get CROWD-ed: Use different types of prompts to keep it interesting:
Completion (Finish the sentence...)
Recall (What happened on the last page?)
Open-ended (What do you see here?)
Wh- questions (Who? What? Where?)
Distancing (How does this story relate to your life?)
📚 When you ask a question, wait. Give your child time to think! I wait by my bowl for dinner, and eventually, the good stuff happens. Patience pays off!

Books are better when we share them. Whether you’re using PEER or CROWD, the goal is the same: connection! Keep tagging us in those photos, reading in the waiting room, and bringing back those book slips so we can hit our 80-book goal! 🖍️📖

Parents: Which CROWD prompt is your child’s favorite? Do they love the "Wh questions" or the "Recall" challenges? Let Otto know below! 👇🐾
