Congratulations to Mikayla P. for being selected as our final SSTAR of the month for 2025!!
Speech-Language Pathologist, Miss Marissa, and Occupational Therapist, Miss Katie, BOTH recommended Mikayla for the SSTar award this month! Miss Marissa states, “Mikayla has demonstrated outstanding dedication with her perfect attendance and continues to make leaps and bounds of progress toward her speech-language goals.” Furthermore, Miss Marissa shares Mikayla is “now using her language for a wide variety of pragmatic functions, including making comments, requesting, directing others, and protesting appropriately. Mikayla has also made tremendous growth in her gestalt language development as she is mixing and matching previously ‘stuck’ long gestalts with increasing flexibility and has even begun to self-generate some of her own sentences. Her hard work, enthusiasm, and steady progress make her a true SSTar!” Amazing job, Mikayla! Miss Katie has similar praise for our SSTar. “Mikayla has made tremendous progress in OT this year!!! She comes ready to play each week and enjoys choosing which games she wants to play. Mikayla has incredible family support for her OT needs and fantastic attendance to therapy. It is so fun each week to also hear what new things Mikayla has to say when she is in OT! I love to run to Marissa’s office and share the new things has said to me!”
Way to go, Mikayla!
The sky’s the limit for four-year -old SUPER-SSTar, Mikayla! At school, Mikayla enjoys expressing herself through various art projects. When not in school, you can find Mikayla practicing gymnastics or swimming. During her downtime, Mikayla likes to relax while watching her favorite show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She also likes to spend time with her younger brother, four cats, and two dogs. Over the holidays, Mikayla is most looking forward to visiting her Grammy. She also loves to play in the snow! If Mikayla was to win one million dollars, she would use the money to buy “candy and sweets.” (Yum!) If Mikayla’s parents were to describe her in one word, the word they would choose is, “creative.” Mom states, “She always finds unique solutions to get what she wants.”
A trait that will serve her well in life!
Congratulations Mikayla!
Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to Jocelyn S. for being selected as our SSTAR of the month! Jocelyn, or “Jojo,” is a double nominee from both
Speech-Language Pathologist, Miss Mona, and Occupational Therapist, Miss Katie! Miss Katie describes Jojo as a “joy to work with
in occupational therapy.” Furthermore, she feels, “she has truly blossomed in her comfort level of being at SST and showing off her
true, bright personality! She is making great strides towards her goals as her confidence increases each and every session!” Similarly,
Miss Mona states, “Jojo is an amazing, young girl. She was very shy and reserved when she started at SST! It took her some time to
come out of her shell, but she did! She loves coming to therapy and interacting during the sessions! She is a great listener and always
completes her given work! It is a great pleasure to work with her!”
Keep up the fantastic work, Jocelyn!
Jocelyn. is a super sweet 7-year-old who enjoys spending time at recess and going to LifeWise during her school day. However,
when Jojo is not at school, you can find her expressing herself through her latest art projects, rollerblading, or skating. She also enjoys
hanging out with her sister and best friend, Pearl, or just relaxing with her one of her favorite movies, such as “Frozen” and
“Huntrix!” When asked if she had anything fun planned for Thanksgiving, she responded, “not to eat turkey, yuck.” (Ha! That is
probably one of our all-time, favorite answers!) Although she may not be a fan of traditional Thanksgiving dinner, one thing she does
love to do in the fall is to go camping. If Jojo was to win one million dollars, she would buy “makeup and a phone” (Wow! She already
sounds like a teenager!) If Jojo was to be described in only one word, the word her mom would choose is “joy.”
Congratulations Jocelyn!
It is truly a “JOY” having you in the clinic each week!
