Summer themed activities have been on repeat these last few months! 🌷 🌼

We’ve been working on producing ‘back’ sounds and this session focused on using strong /g/ sounds in words and sentences.

‘I got a game’
‘Give me the Lego’
‘The pink grows on top of green.’
‘It’s getting bigger’
‘Bugs like to go on flowers’

We’ve used a variety of approaches to support this sound:

🔸 Learning the rules of when and how to use sounds with minimal pairs: dough-go, date-gate
🔸 Voiced vs unvoiced sounds: /k/ vs /g/
🔸 Complex sound combinations: gl-, gr-
🔸 Working on self-monitoring and correcting with less support to carryover sounds into conversation

🗣 Is your child having difficulty saying certain sounds? Speech therapy can help!

It’s been quiet here on socials lately but there’s something new and exciting in the works! Hillside Speech will soon be offering a new service: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy 🗣

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) helps strengthen and retrain the muscles of the face and mouth used for speaking, chewing, swallowing and even breathing. Supporting proper tongue positioning and improving oral functioning can have long-lasting impacts on a child’s facial growth and overall development.

OMT can help with:
☑️Tongue/lip ties
☑️Teeth grinding
☑️Oral habits (thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use)
☑️Difficulty with speech/articulation of sounds
☑️Mouth breathing
☑️High/narrow palate
☑️Malocclusions
☑️Snoring

Even if a child seems to be on track for SPEECH SOUND development, they still might need support with LANGUAGE skills.

If you have concerns about your child's communication skills, reach out to a pediatric speech-language pathologist for an evaluation!

Did you know that kids who are speaking - and speaking clearly- may still need speech therapy?

SLPs also work on language development which is an important part of communication! If you have a child who is over 3 years old and has difficult with some of the following skills, a speech and language evaluation may be beneficial!
