MYTH BUSTER 👇

I am always shocked when families are told it's 'too early' for their child to begin speech therapy, because 'they aren't making sounds yet.'

The truth is- children do not need to be babbling or attempting words to benefit from speech therapy.

Communication is way more than spoken language- think...gestures, facial expressions, shared attention, imitation, participation, and play are all foundational skills your child can build upon from an early age.

So- no sounds, no problem. It's never too early and there are no pre-requisite skills for speech therapy. In fact, early intervention and support can strengthen the building blocks that lead to meaningful communication.

Growing Together is here to support families at every stage of the communication journey 🤍

Valentine’s Day gives us so many natural opportunities to model meaningful, functional language 💘

For children who use AAC, simple phrases like “I love you,” “Here you go,” and “Happy Valentine’s Day” can be modeled throughout the day and paired with visuals, symbols, or familiar buttons on their device. These small moments of modeling build confidence, connection, and communication.

Caregivers can also weave in themed vocabulary like friend, heart, candy, kind, and happy during crafts, play, book reading, or everyday routines. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s exposure, repetition, and joyful interaction.

And most importantly: communication doesn’t have to look one specific way. Whether it’s spoken words, gestures, sign, or AAC, every child deserves meaningful ways to express love and feel connected. 💌

One of the most common concerns we hear from parents and caregivers:
“If I teach my child sign language or gestures, won’t they rely on that instead of talking?”

The research is clear: early signs and gestures do not delay speech. In fact, they often support and accelerate spoken language development.

Here’s why👇
When children have a way to communicate before words emerge, they:
• Experience less frustration
• Engage more socially
• Participate in more back-and-forth interactions
• Hear more meaningful language modeled consistently

All of those are key ingredients for spoken language growth.

Gestures and signs act as a bridge—not a replacement—for speech. As verbal language becomes easier and more efficient, children naturally shift toward spoken words.

Communication always comes before articulation. When we honor all forms of communication, we create confident, motivated communicators who want to use language.

✨ Support communication first. Speech will follow.

01/16/2026

Children have a desire to communicate and connect with others before they can produce specific sounds or words.

Gestures are one of the earliest and most powerful ways emerging communicators share attention, express preferences, participate socially, and invite others into interaction. And they go far beyond baby sign language (like “more” and “eat").

Pointing, waving, nodding, clapping, celebrating, protesting, participating in songs — these are all meaningful ways children can communicate right now. When adults notice, respond, and model gestures within play and daily routines, communication grows naturally.

Language doesn’t start with speech. It starts with shared moments. 💛

A child should not have to prove they understand concepts or directions by answering incessant questions.

They certainly should not have to demonstrate their understanding on our command.

When we slow down, ask fewer questions, and focus on the environment we’ve created, we often see understanding show up in quieter ways—through gestures, gaze, body language, engagement, and participation.

When we’re unsure of their comprehension, the answer is not more quizzing—it’s more modeling, more repetition, more wait time, and most importantly...more connection.

Because receptive language grows best in environments that feel safe, supportive, and responsive.

Coming back from a long break can feel overwhelming—for everyone involved. Routines take time to rebuild, especially during winter when outdoor play is limited and bodies are adjusting again.

Preparation, flexibility, movement, and connection can make these transitions feel more supportive and manageable.

Remember: progress doesn’t require perfection. Gentle starts matter. 🤍

12/30/2025

Before assuming a child doesn’t understand, we have to zoom out.

Comprehension doesn’t happen in isolation—it depends on attention, regulation, connection, environment, expectations, and access to communication (to name just a few variables). When those pieces aren’t in place, even the most capable child may struggle to show what they know.

Too often, receptive language is questioned when the real issue is that the system hasn’t been set up to support success.

12/16/2025

The problem with “more” isn’t that it’s wrong—it’s that it’s often not enough.

When a child communicates using “more” but can’t clarify what they want, communication can break down. Initiation without understanding still leads to frustration.

By teaching specificity—items, actions, and intentional ways to communicate—we give children tools that actually support connection and autonomy.

Communication is more than a word.
It’s about being understood. 💛

12/12/2025

One of the most powerful shifts I made as an SLP was changing the way I talked about children’s communication.

When I shifted my language, I shifted my lens. I started noticing the skills already there, the connections already forming, and the strengths that could guide truly individualized support.

And I saw the empowerment, the motivation, and the growth - not only in my clients, but in the people around them.

Neuroaffirming practice isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention.

And sometimes the smallest changes (like the words we choose) open the biggest doors for understanding, collaboration, and support.
