As you collect and sort leaves, look for ways to practice your child’s target sounds naturally during play.

Working on /l/?
Try: leaf, look, little, yellow, blow, fall

Targeting /s/?
Try: swish, sweep, soft, circle, see

Encourage your child to repeat words or short phrases as you make leaf rubbings, collages, or simple nature art.

Make it playful by:
- giving each leaf a “name”
- saying a silly sentence with the target sound
- taking turns describing what you see

Try this activity and let me know how it goes!

I’ve started introducing solids at 6 months but now at 7 almost 8 months she’s loving it more than when she first tried food!

In this video I’m mainly focusing on using the signs “more” and “all done”. You can see I also work on exclamatory word phrases like “mmm/yummy”.

What’s not shown is her throwing her food down and me saying “uh oh” and “oops”. 😂

Use these signs and more to communicate with your baby during meal times!

These are some of BBST's favorite fall books!

Books are one of the simplest ways to build language — especially when they’re cozy, playful, and seasonally themed.

Here are a few fall favorites to try:
• The Leaf Thief
• Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin Picking Plan
• We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt
• There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves

While reading, try:
- pointing
- pausing
- wondering together

Bonus tip - you don't need to buy new! Remember to check out your local library to see if available for check out :)

What are some of your favorite fall books? Let me know below!

Kids love feeling with all their senses, which is why a sensory bin is SUCH a great idea for them to touch, feel, learn, and PLAY!!! And while they're playing some language can be incorporated in it :)

Try hiding little “apples” to match or count:
✨ Find an apple
✨ Label or count
✨ Describe what you see and feel

This activity encourages:
🎧 Listening
🗣 Vocabulary growth
🤲 Sensory exploration
💛 Shared connection during play

It doesn't need to be perfect Mom or Dad — just notice what your child is doing, name wha you see, and most importantly have fun playing together!

Fall is the perfect time to make speech practice feel like play!

Here are a few cozy, seasonal words to target common speech sounds:
🧡 /S/ – sun, soup, spider, season, scarecrow
❤️ /R/ – rake, rain, red, turkey, corn
💛 /L/ – leaf, light, fall, yellow, bell
🤎 /K/ – coat, cookie, pumpkin, candy, cold
💚 /TH/ – thank, think, three, birthday, wreath

Try practicing during daily routines—while baking, taking a walk, or reading a fall story together. Speech goals don’t have to feel like paper-based homework.

Small, meaningful moments build communication and confidence. 💛

I get asked this question ALL the time! What’s the difference between speech and language??? They’re closely connected—but not the same.

🗣️ Speech is how we say words.
It’s about sounds, tone, and fluency.

💬 Language is how we use and understand words.
It’s about meaning, vocabulary, and connection.

Together, speech and language help us communicate—
and small steps in either can make a big difference. 💛

If you’re wondering whether your child might need support,
a speech-language pathologist can help. 🌿 Please don't hesitate to reach out, the "wait and see" approach that so many say worked for their child may not work for yours. It's better to check and intervene early rather than later!

🧡 Happy Halloween from Be Brave Speech! 🎃
When your speech-language brain can’t hear it…
“It’s just twick or tweet!” 👻🗣️

Wishing all our little communicators (and their grown-ups) a day full of smiles, costumes, and maybe a few extra articulation opportunities. 😉

As October is winding down.... let's not forget that we don't need a month to remember how important AAC is! 💙

What is AAC???
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication - this basically means giving individuals a voice in their own way!

What can AAC can look like:
💬 A speech-generating device
🧩 Picture symbols or communication boards
👐 Gestures or sign language
📱 Communication apps

EVERY person deserves a way to communicate, to be heard, and to be understood.

Whether a child OR and adult uses words, pictures, or technology - communication is connection. 💙

Let’s celebrate ALL the ways our clients, families, and students express themselves this month (and every month).

Everyday moments, like baking together, are full of language opportunities.
You’re not just making cookies… you’re practicing:

• Sequencing: “First we pour the flour, then crack the eggs.”
• Following directions: “Stir until it’s smooth.”
• Vocabulary: whisk, sprinkle, dough, sticky.

You don’t need fancy tools - just time, talk, and togetherness. 💛

I can't wait to start baking with my little one! Right now though, she's watching me in the kitchen as I bake and I'm telling her what I'm mixing in and making!

Save this for your next baking day & tag us if you try it!

Here is a a fun, simple, and playful way to practice listening and following directions this fall! It's a leaf pile listening game! 🍁

Try directions like:
✨ “Find the BIGGEST leaf.”
✨ “Pick up TWO red leaves.”
✨ “Put the yellow leaf UNDER the pumpkin.”

This game supports receptive language skills while encouraging attention and understanding of size + position words. Perfect for sessions, classrooms, or cozy afternoons at home!

🍂 Boost your child’s fall vocabulary!
Seasonal words like pumpkin, harvest, cozy, leaves, and costume are perfect for building language in fun, meaningful ways.

Here are a few ideas for using these words in full sentences at home:
- “The PUMPKIN is big and orange.”
- “We are going to the HARVEST festival.”
- “I feel COZY under the blanket.”
- “The LEAVES are falling off the trees.”
- “Your COSTUMe is so creative!”

👉 Repeating these words in different contexts helps children understand and use them more naturally. Try pointing them out during daily routines, story time, or outdoor play! Let me know what are some new words fall words that your little one is learning and trying out in their speech!?

🎭 Dress-up play isn’t just fun — it’s a language workout!
When kids pretend to be superheroes, animals, or their favorite characters, they:
1. Use new vocabulary
2. Practice longer sentences
3. Think creatively

Try prompts like:
– “Who are you today?”
– “What powers do you have?”
– “Where are we going on our adventure?”

✨ Pretend play = expressive language practice in disguise!! Who do your children like to pretend to be? I'd love to know!!
