💬 AAC Awareness Month was this October! 💙

We love sharing and celebrating AAC — Augmentative and Alternative Communication — and the many incredible communicators who use it!

What is AAC?
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It includes all the ways someone can communicate beyond speaking — from gestures, facial expressions, and sign language to picture boards, speech-generating devices, and communication apps.

AAC gives children a voice — helping them share their thoughts, make choices, connect with others, and be understood. 💛

There’s a common myth that AAC replaces speech, but that’s not true! In fact, AAC often supports and encourages verbal language development.

We celebrate our amazing AAC users, families, and therapists who make communication possible in so many creative and meaningful ways. 🗣️✨

Every child deserves a voice — and AAC helps make that happen. 💬💙

Smile — you’re doing great 💛

At Thrive, we love sharing tips, strategies, and tools to help your little ones grow.
But today, this message is just for you.

Parenting isn’t easy — especially when you’re juggling appointments, progress charts, and big emotions (theirs and yours). We see how hard you advocate. We see your patience, your late-night Googling, your quiet victories.

And we just want to remind you…

✨ You’re doing better than you think.
✨ Your effort matters.
✨ Your child is lucky to have you.

So take a deep breath and smile — you’re doing great. 💙

🎃 Pumpkin Play for Developmental Growth! 🎃
Looking for festive fall activities that also support your child’s development? Here are some pumpkin-themed ideas from our therapy team that make learning FUN!

🖐 Occupational Therapy Pumpkin Activities

• Pumpkin Scrub & Wash Station: Use sponges, toothbrushes, and scrubbers to clean muddy pumpkins — great for tactile exploration and hand strength!
• Pumpkin Hammering: Push golf tees or pegs into a pumpkin using a toy hammer to build fine motor skills.
• Pumpkin Seed Transfer: Scoop and tweeze pumpkin seeds from one bowl to another for pincer grasp practice.

🗣 Speech & Language Pumpkin Fun

• Pumpkin Vocabulary Hunt: Explore pumpkins of different sizes and colors — describe them using words like bumpy, smooth, heavy, tiny!
• “Feed the Pumpkin” Game: Cut a mouth in a cardboard pumpkin and “feed” it picture cards or toy foods while naming or requesting items.
• Pumpkin Story Time: Read pumpkin books and ask “wh” questions — What happened? Where is the pumpkin going?

🍽 Feeding Therapy Pumpkin Ideas

• Pumpkin Taste Test: Try pumpkin in different forms — puree, roasted, yogurt, muffin — and explore new textures at your child’s pace.
• Pumpkin Spice Smell Jars: Introduce safe-smelling spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to build sensory tolerance.
• Pumpkin Baking: Let your child help pour and stir ingredients to encourage participation in meal prep!

👩‍👧 Whether your child is working on sensory tolerance, motor skills, language, or feeding — pumpkins offer endless opportunities for learning through play!
