You donโ€™t need flashcards or fancy tools to support speech at home.

Your voice, your daily routines, your connection. Thatโ€™s where the magic happens.

Little moments go a long way.๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ ๐Ÿงธ

Itโ€™s normal for speech progress to move in waves.

Your child might surprise you one day, then seem to stall the next. This doesnโ€™t mean therapy isnโ€™t working. It means theyโ€™re learning, practicing, and integrating new skills at their own pace. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Progress takes time, patience, and consistency. And weโ€™ll be here to support every step of the way. โณ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

We had a wonderful turnout for our second Autism Caregiver Support Group at The Speech Shed this month.

A huge thank you to Paula Lyssy, Child Psychologist/Certified Play Therapist, and Autism expert, for sharing her time, wisdom, and so many practical ideas to help our children thrive in everyday life. Our caregivers left with full hearts, new perspectives, and so many helpful strategies. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

We especially loved learning about sandtray therapy and how powerful it can be for both children and adults as a way to process emotions, build understanding, and support growth. ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŒฑ

We are so grateful for professionals who are willing to pour into our families and our community. And thank you to the caregivers who showed up, shared, listened, and supported one another. Community like this matters. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ“… Next Support Group:
April 13th at 10:00 AM

๐ŸงฉA pediatric Occupational Therapist will be joining us to share her wisdom and answer questions.

โ˜• Coffee and refreshments will be available.

๐ŸฉตTo keep the group supportive and comfortable for discussion, we are capping the group at 7 caregivers, so be sure to watch for the registration link and reserve your spot!

This group is completely free and open to the public. You do not have to be a client of The Speech Shed to attend. Everyone is welcome here. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

When Iโ€™m doing an activity like this, Iโ€™m not focused on teaching โ€œ๐™ง๐™š๐™™, ๐™—๐™ก๐™ช๐™š, ๐™ฎ๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™ค๐™ฌ.โ€

โ€ข more
โ€ข on
โ€ข off
โ€ข go
โ€ข in
โ€ข out
โ€ข turn

So instead of just saying โ€œred,โ€ I might model:
โ€œ๐™‹๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™Š๐™‰ ๐™ง๐™š๐™™.โ€
โ€œ๐™๐™–๐™ ๐™š ๐™Š๐™๐™ ๐™—๐™ก๐™ช๐™š.โ€
โ€œ๐™‹๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™„๐™‰.โ€

These are called ๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ. Core words are the words that help children ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฒ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต, ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต throughout their day.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ If your child loves learning colors, numbers, or shapesโ€ฆthatโ€™s wonderful!
But for early language learners, functional words that help them communicate are the real priority.

๐Ÿ’กTry this at home:
Narrate what youโ€™re doing and notice how many core words you naturally use throughout the day.

In our sessions, play isnโ€™t a break from the work. It is the work.

Play helps children stay engaged while building essential communication skills like:
โ€ข Following directions
โ€ข Naming and describing
โ€ข Practicing sounds and words
โ€ข Taking turns and using social language

The best part? Kids donโ€™t even realize how much theyโ€™re learning.

Speech therapy is most effective when it feels natural, joyful, and connected and thatโ€™s exactly what play brings to the table.๐Ÿฅฐ

Our February Mommy & Me was full of giggles, splashes, and SO much language growth packed into one sweet hour ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒง๏ธ

We sang The Itsy Bitsy Spider, made rainmakers, splashed in water, and spent time focusing on gesturesโ€ฆone of the most important building blocks for early language.

โ˜๐ŸปBefore little ones can say the words, they show us what they mean by pointing, waving, reaching, and clapping. Those early gestures help grow vocabulary later on! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Parents went home with simple tips, age expectations, and easy ways to model gestures during everyday routines.๐Ÿซฑ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซฒ๐Ÿพ

Our next class is Monday, March 30 at 10 AM! Spots are limited (the last two have been FULL!), classes are $10, and the link will be posted next week.

Weโ€™d love to see you there! ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒˆ
