"Communication isn't about how you speak- it's about being heard. AAC makes that possible."

🧠 Regulated doesn’t mean calm.

As parents, we often hear “regulate” and think it means our child should be quiet or still. But that’s not the case.

⚖️ Regulated means their energy matches the task—whether that’s sitting for story time or running at recess. Dysregulated means their energy doesn’t fit the moment.

💡 Helping kids regulate might mean giving them movement, sensory input, or tools to support focus and self-control. It’s about meeting their needs—not forcing calm.
Let’s rethink what regulation really means. 💛

Hey Parents! Just a Friendly Reminder

We love seeing your kiddos each week and want to make sure everyone gets the most out of their time with us! 💙

📅 If you need to miss a visit, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can plan accordingly.

🔄 If more than 3 visits are missed without rescheduling make-ups, we’ll move you to a floating schedule — it’s a flexible option that works great for busy families!
This also helps us open up consistent time slots for other children on our waitlist who are ready to join us weekly. Thanks so much for helping us keep things running smoothly for everyone! 😊

🧠 How Occupational Therapy at Beyond Speech Therapy Helps Your Child Talk 🗣️

Before children can speak in full sentences, they need strong motor planning, attention, and sensory regulation—and that’s where occupational therapy (OT) comes in!

👣 OT supports communication by:
Building gross motor skills first (like crawling and walking), which strengthen core muscles and posture—important for breath control and speech.

Developing fine motor skills later, which help with articulation by supporting the tongue, lips, and jaw for clear speech.

Supporting motor planning and sequencing, so your child can connect sounds into words and words into sentences.

Improving attention and focus, helping your child stay engaged during conversations and play.

Creating a calm sensory environment, making it easier for your child to listen, learn, and express themselves.

💬 OT lays the groundwork for connected speech—one movement at a time.
