Bee's Knees Speech Therapy

April is National Autism Acceptance Month—but acceptance doesn’t end when the calendar flips.

Acceptance looks like:
✨ Listening to autistic voices
✨ Respecting different communication styles
✨ Creating spaces where all kids feel safe to be themselves

At Bee’s Knees, we believe in meeting every child where they are—not changing who they are.

Let’s keep learning, understanding, and including—this month and every month. 💛

What does acceptance look like to you?

What if we’ve been thinking about communication all wrong?

“Appropriate communication” often centers spoken words—but communication is so much more than that.

Instead, we focus on communication that is meaningful, functional, and true to each child.

Every child communicates—and every form of communication deserves to be understood and respected.
What are your thoughts?

🌱🌼 Happy National Gardening Day! 🌼🌱

Gardening is more than just planting flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables —it’s an awesome way for kids to grow important skills through play!

At Bee’s Knees, we love activities that:
🌿 Encourage sensory exploration (dirt, textures, smells)
🌿 Build fine motor skills (digging, scooping, planting)
🌿 Support language development (naming, describing, requesting)
🌿 Teach patience and care as kids watch things grow

🌸 Try this at home:
Let your child help plant with you, or even just play in the dirt! Talk about what you see, feel, and smell together to boost connection and communication.

Just like a garden, kids bloom with the right support.
What are you planting this year?

We’re looking for donations of gently used dress-up clothes!

In OT sessions, we use dress-up play to help kids practice getting dressed, build fine motor skills, and grow their independence in everyday tasks. Zippers, buttons, and layers all become fun learning opportunities!

If you have costumes, hats, or dress-up pieces your family no longer uses, we’d love to give them a new life in therapy 💛

April is Occupational Therapy Month! 💙

We’re celebrating the incredible work of our OT team — and we couldn’t do what we do without Izzy, our Occupational Therapist, and Allie, our Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant!

From building strength and coordination on our sensory swings, to working on fine motor skills, food aversions, and emotional regulation, they create sessions that are engaging, supportive, and tailored to each child’s unique needs.

We’re also so excited to show off our expanded space with room for even more OT fun!

With more space to move, climb, swing, and explore, our kiddos have even more opportunities to grow their skills through play.

OT helps children build independence in everyday tasks — from dressing and feeding to play and self-regulation — and our OT team brings so much creativity, care, and expertise to every session.
Join us in celebrating them this month!

Spring is in the air… even if it’s still a little chilly 🌸❄️🐝

Longer days are coming, the snow is almost melted, and we’re getting closer to those warm, sunny play days! In the meantime, there are still so many SPRINGY ways to learn through everyday moments.

Try this today:
🥚 Hide Easter eggs and give simple clues to find them (great for listening + following directions!)
🎨 Use sidewalk chalk to draw shapes, letters, or practice writing names
🌼 Go on a “flower hunt” and describe colors, sizes, and smells
🌷 Pretend play with a spring garden—dig, plant, and water together

Warmer days are on the way—and so is lots of growth 💛

🚨 A Big Change Is Being Proposed - And It Impacts Speech Therapy 🚨

There are proposed changes to CPT code 92507 (the code used for speech therapy treatment). It might sound technical… but it could directly affect the care your child receives.

Here’s the key issue:

Speech therapy is not made up of separate, isolated skills. Communication is a whole system: speech, language, understanding, social connection - all working together.

The proposed changes attempt to break therapy into parts - which isn’t how real therapy works.

What could this mean for your child?

⚠️ Less flexibility in sessions
⚠️ More restrictions from insurance
⚠️ Lower quality, less functional care
⚠️ Limits on how we can treat the whole child

What can you do?

The comment window is open until March 31st - and your voice matters.

✔️ Submit a public comment (message me if you want help!)
✔️ Share this post
✔️ Help spread awareness

This isn’t just a policy change, it could reshape how speech therapy is delivered across all settings.
