🔊 Progress, Not Perfection! 🔡
Let’s talk about sound & word approximations in speech therapy.
Sometimes, kids can’t say a full word yet—but that’s okay! We celebrate approximations: simplified versions of words that still get the message across. 🎉
✅ “Ba” for “ball”
✅ “Uh” for “up”
✅ “Da” for “dog”
These early attempts show that a child is trying to communicate, which is a huge win in speech development!
💬 At our clinic, we meet each child where they are—encouraging these small steps that lead to big communication growth. ❤️
