💬 “How long does speech therapy take?”
It’s one of the most common questions we hear and the honest answer is: it depends!

Every child is unique, and therapy timelines vary based on many factors, including:
✨ your child’s individual needs
✨ the goals we’re working toward
✨ consistency of sessions
✨ practice and support outside of therapy

Some children may make progress in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support over a year or more. It's important to remember that progress isn’t a race... it’s about steady growth, confidence, and meaningful communication!

Our role is to meet your child where they are, adjust goals as they grow, and support your family every step of the way!

If you have questions about what therapy might look like for your child, we’re always happy to talk it through.

Cold days and rainy afternoons are the perfect time for simple, play-based language practice at home, no extra prep needed!

Try these everyday activities to build speech and language skills indoors:

🧱 Blocks
• Label colors and sizes
• Practice prepositions (on, under, next to)
• Take turns and give simple directions

🧩 Puzzles
• Name and describe pieces
• Ask “where does it go?”
• Practice problem-solving language

🍳 Play Kitchens
• Expand vocabulary (cook, stir, hot, cold)
• Practice sequencing (first, next, last)
• Encourage pretend play and conversation

Everyday play builds communication when we slow down, model language, and most importantly follow your child’s lead!

We’ve put together a few Amazon lists with some of our favorite tools for supporting speech, language, and play at home.

These are items we love using in sessions, simple, engaging, and easy to incorporate into everyday routines.

You’ll find things like:
• books we love for language
• toys that encourage turn-taking and conversation
• simple play items that support vocabulary and engagement

👉 You can shop our favorite finds through the link in our bio.

As always, you DON'T need anything fancy to support communication, BUT if you’re looking for ideas, we hope this helps!

One simple way to support language growth is by expanding what your child already says!

When your child uses one word, repeat it back and add just one more word.
This shows them how words work together, without pressure or correction.

For example:
Child: “Car”
Adult: “Fast car”

This small shift helps build sentence length, vocabulary, and confidence over time.

👉 Try this today during play, meals, or reading time!

Reading together is one of the easiest (and most meaningful) ways to support communication! This month, we’re loving these 3 books for building language, emotional awareness, and connection:

🐻 We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Great for: repetition, sequencing, prepositions, and movement-based language
Try: acting out the story and using words like over, under, through

😊 The Way I Feel
Great for: emotional vocabulary and self-expression
Try: naming feelings and connecting them to real-life experiences

🐸 Frog and Toad Storybook Favorites
Great for: conversation skills, friendship themes, and story retell
Try: talking about what each character is thinking or feeling

A few minutes of shared reading can build vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence! Try them out and list out a couple of your faves!

Getting a jumpstart on Valentine’s Day books for your little ones! Found this goodie at the airport and had to read it to Elise! It’s great if you’re working on peekaboo. Who doesn’t love an Eric Carle book!

Hey parents/caregivers!!!

It’s okay if progress feels slow sometimes. Growth isn’t always linear AND it rarely looks the same week to week.

There may be pauses, plateaus, or moments that feel harder than others. Guess what? That doesn’t mean therapy isn’t working. Skills often build quietly before they show up more consistently.

So...you’re doing the right thing by showing up, supporting your child, and trusting the process. And you don’t have to do it alone!!! BBST is here to support you every step of the way!

The start of a new year is a natural time to check in on your child’s speech and language development. While every child grows at their own pace, knowing what’s typical and when to seek support can offer reassurance and clarity.

If you ever find yourself wondering or worrying, it’s okay to ask questions!!! As a new mom, I'm honestly asking lots of questions and double checking. I'm a strong supporter of early intervention! It can definitely make a meaningful difference!

Not sure where your child falls?

We offer FREE speech and language screenings for children ages 3 and up. Screenings are quick, low-pressure, and a great first step if you have concerns.

Early insight leads to confident next steps and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Please don't hesitate to to text/call 909-351-8610 or email ruth@bebravespeechtherapy.com.

Coming back after a holiday break can feel like a big transition and a little wobble is completely normal!

As we return to therapy, our focus is on:
- rebuilding routines
- strengthening skills through practice
- maintaining consistency to support progress

What may look like regression is often just a need for repetition and support. The skills are still there BUT they just need time to wake back up!

Our goal is always to meet your child where they are and help them move forward with confidence and encouragement. 💛

Let's debunk a popular speech myth: “Let’s wait and see…”

The start of a new year is often when families pause and hope things will improve on their own. And sometimes, progress does happen — but often, earlier support makes the journey easier.

💛 January is a great time to get started with speech therapy.
Evaluations and early intervention can help build skills, confidence, and clarity right from the beginning of the year!

If you’ve been wondering whether to move forward, this can be your sign.
We currently have January openings available and would love to support your child’s communication journey! Find our contact info above.
