PEERS has entered the chat.

But…What is PEERS?

PEERS is an empirically validated (aka - widely researched and globally shown to work) social skills intervention for teens.

PEERS is different because it directly involves parents and caregivers and emphasizes REAL LIFE, up to date scenarios that our teens and adolescents face.

Some children have difficulty making speech sounds correctly. This is referred to as a speech sound disorder. So what does the SLP do? ⬇️

An articulation disorder is when a child has difficulty physically producing a sound (having trouble making an /s/ or /r/ sound, for example). A speech-language pathologist will help a child move their lips, tongue, or other articulators to the right places in order to create the sound correctly.

A phonological disorder is a speech sound disorder that causes a child to have difficulty learning the sound system of our words. They might have trouble hearing/processing the difference between sounds and will produce them incorrectly.

In this case, an SLP would not only help the child make the correct sounds, but also help them to recognize the differences between the sounds that they are hearing and making. 🗣️

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Day is coming up!

DLD impacts 2 children in every classroom, yet few people have heard of it. DLD is the preferred term for a collection of symptoms previously referred to as specific language impairment or receptive/expressive language disorder.

Language learning difficulties can last a lifetime and impact the individual in every aspect of their lives, from academic to social and emotional development.

This free guide is an introduction to DLD and explains it all - what it is, how to identify it, and how to support your DLD children and friends.

If you’ve ever wondered why a bunch of speech and language pathologists are talking about reading and writing, you’re not alone.

Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) have the expertise in speech and language development necessary for understanding, diagnosing, and treating reading and writing problems. Reading, spelling, writing (and understanding what we read) are all language-based skills.

So, SLPs are the perfectly trained professionals to identify or predict reading problems in students based on language development and speech sound production. Collaborating with a SLP can be a helpful tool in helping you along your child’s reading journey.

Our goal is to always provide a welcoming and open space for every child that comes in Beyond Communication.

Language and reading difficulties can bring on many struggles and we always want your child to feel welcomed in a space where they would otherwise feel challenged. We can't wait to welcome you and your child into our office as we develop a strategy to help them communicate with confidence. 🧡
