Parents are often the first to notice when something about communication just seems a little harder than it should be.

Sometimes speech and language challenges aren’t about how clearly a child talks, but about how easily they communicate their thoughts and understand others.

Many children who benefit from speech therapy are bright, social, and doing well in school. But parents may notice little signs like frustration when explaining ideas, difficulty following directions, or trouble telling stories about their day.

Communication is a skill that develops over time, and when children get the right support, they often gain confidence very quickly.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, you’re not alone. Many families start asking questions around these same moments.

Have you ever wondered whether your child’s communication skills are where they should be?

Our speech therapists are always happy to talk with parents and help them decide whether an evaluation would be helpful.

🏃🤩Obstacle courses are a fan favorite at PTLC for our kiddos AND for both our speech/language pathologists and occupational therapists. There are endless opportunities to work on goals for communication, motor skills, idea development, handwriting, planning and sequencing, safety awareness, social skills....The list goes on and on.... Our job is to figure out how to work in the just-right challenge zone, while also fostering joy and making learning meaningful. We love watching our kiddos build skills while applying them in a meaningful way.

💚When a child melts down, it can feel overwhelming for everyone involved.

But many meltdowns happen when a child’s feelings become bigger than the skills they have to manage them. In those moments, children aren’t trying to be difficult. They’re showing us that they need support, understanding, and time to build those skills.

With the right support, children can learn how to handle big feelings in safer and more successful ways. 💛

🏝️Survivor Draft!
Mrs. Jaci, Ms. Emily, and a couple of our kiddos will be very invested in the outcome of Survivor this season. They drafted contestants for their teams and have come up with rules for how points are scored. We will let you know who wins!

Our therapists are masters at using a child’s interests to create therapeutic activities. The activities inevitably include opportunities for social connection, shared social problem solving, planning and sequencing, logical thinking, communication, and motor skills! Therapists focus on the integration of skills which results in deep learning.

🤣Mrs. Allison lost a bet with one of her Feeding Therapy kiddos and now she has to display this giant pic of herself with “missing teeth”! This pic has piqued the curiosity of all PTLC kiddos entering the treatment area. She has lots of explainin’ to do. 🤣
Mrs. Allison, the only SOS CERTIFIED feeding therapist in Louisiana, often brings a lot of fun and silliness to her sessions which helps diffuse a lot of the stress that often accompanies Feeding and Eating Challenges.

🏃😎Play may look light and easy — but it carries some of the deepest learning children do. Play builds thinking, language, flexibility, and connection in ways structured tasks alone cannot.

PTLC THERAPISTS ARE DEVELOPMENTAL PLAY CHAMPS. They have studied, practiced, and honed a very difficult and critical skill: observing a child’s interests and making small adjustments in themselves and the environment to create just-right challenges — all while maintaining play that is joyful, connected, and deeply meaningful for the child. They make it look easy, but what an observer might not see is that everything they do is purposeful and that they are constantly making adjustments based on what the child does. It is truly an art and a science!

We are ONLY CLOSED ON TUESDAY (MARDI GRAS DAY).🤩

Local high school student, Emily, is working with Mrs. Shannon and Mrs. Allison to collect "Coke" tabs from aluminum cans. The tabs are then donated to a recycling company which sends cash to the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House is known to be a great source of comfort for families of children getting cancer treatment. They are known to provide housing and supplies at no cost to the patient.

Emily is requesting that you bring tabs in to Pediatric Therapy and Learning Center (PTLC). Mr. Treve and Mrs. Melisa have a collection jar available! No amount is too little!

Emily appreciates your help with her mission to help kids undergoing cancer treatment!
