๐ Progress, Not Perfection! ๐ก
Letโs talk about sound & word approximations in speech therapy.
Sometimes, kids canโt say a full word yetโbut thatโs okay! We celebrate approximations: simplified versions of words that still get the message across. ๐

โBaโ for โballโ

โUhโ for โupโ

โDaโ for โdogโ
These early attempts show that a child is trying to communicate, which is a huge win in speech development!
๐ฌ At our clinic, we meet each child where they areโencouraging these small steps that lead to big communication growth. โค๏ธ
