Autism Acceptance Month is a reminder of what we're lucky enough to see every day... amazing, unique, and valued children and families who make our days better.

We celebrate our clients with autism just as they are, and we’re honored to support, learn from, and grow alongside them. We love you all more than all of the eyelash kisses, Shrek videos, stickers, swings, tickles, and snuggles in the world.

We’re also committed to using respectful, inclusive language, and hope you will, too. This resource from Communication First is a great place to start: https://communicationfirst.org/the-words-we-use-short-version/

New classroom opening this August!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

Because of the incredible families who trust us with their children, Chatter & Chalk is officially opening a second Pre-K classroom! 🎉

This isn’t just about more spots; it’s about creating more space for children to learn, grow, and thrive in a high-quality, thoughtfully designed Pre-K environment.

At Chatter & Chalk, we believe early childhood should be full of play, connection, and meaningful learning experiences.
Our classrooms are built around strong routines, engaging activities, and a team that truly knows each child.

✨ What you’ll find here:
• A structured, language-based curriculum rooted in play that supports real learning
• Small class sizes with individualized attention (each classroom has 15 children or fewer)
• A language-rich environment that builds confidence and connection
• A team that meets your child where they are and helps them grow

We know choosing a Pre-K is a big decision. You’re not just choosing a school, you’re choosing the people and environment who will care for and guide the most important person in your life when you aren't with them.

If you’ve been looking for a place that feels intentional, supportive, and high-quality, this is it!

📍Limited spots now open for enrollment in our new classroom (mostly 4-5 year old spots available, FEW 3-year-old spots left)
đź“… Tours are now booking to meet our teachers

Come see what it feels like to walk into a classroom where your child is known, supported, and excited to learn.

Today we’re celebrating a girl who worked hard, showed up, and grew in all the ways that matter most. From strengthening her skills to building confidence and independence, she has truly done the work, and it shows.

We are so proud of you, Claire, and we know you’re going to keep doing amazing things wherever you go next.

Something big is happening at Chatter & Chalk… and it’s been built with intention, expertise, and a whole lot of heart behind it.

We are officially launching the Chatter & Chalk AAC Collective: a space designed to make AAC learning accessible, practical, and empowering for everyone supporting an AAC user.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, SLP, OT, PT, ABA therapist, RBT, or someone who simply wants to do better by AAC users, this is for you.

The FIRST COURSE is LIVE! Our AAC Foundations course is now available and built to give you a strong, confidence-building foundation so you can start supporting AAC users immediately, not someday, not after more training, now.

Use the code AACSTART to get $10 off the first course until March 31st: https://courses.chatterandchalk.com

And this is just the beginning…

This intro course is the starting point that will lead into specialized learning tracks coming soon:

• Caregivers & Families
• Educators & School Teams
• Professionals (SLP, OT, PT, ABA)

PLUS, this isn’t a one-and-done platform. We’ll be adding new trainings for communication partners every single month, so you can continue to grow your skills and stay supported.

And for quick, practical learning?
We’ve also built in a blog filled with insights, strategies, and real-life applications to support AAC users in everyday moments. This will be updated monthly, too!

Real strategies. Real implementation. Real impact.

Help us spread the word so more communicators have partners who truly understand how to support them.

Share far and wide, because communication access changes everything.

If handwriting feels like a battle, it’s worth taking a closer look ✏️

Handwriting red flags that may signal a need for OT support:
• Poor posture while writing
• Difficulty stabilizing the paper
• Trouble writing on the line
• Poor or inconsistent letter formations
• Inefficient pencil grasp
• Using whole arm movements instead of small hand control
• Poor letter sizing (too big, too small, inconsistent)

This isn’t about trying harder, it’s about giving their body the right support to succeed.

Early OT support can improve confidence, endurance, and school readiness. đź’›

Spring + skill-building= the best kind of learning 🌷

Our OT enrichment groups are in full bloom working on fine motor skills through hands-on, play-based activities! Students used tweezers to pick up colorful pom poms (hello pincer grasp 💪), matched egg halves to build visual-perceptual skills, and “rescued” eggs with scooping tasks to strengthen coordination and control.

Every activity is intentional. Every moment is building the foundation for skills like handwriting, independence, and confidence, all through play!

At Chatter & Chalk, it’s never just play, it’s purposeful. Our fall classes are filling fast with only a few spots left. Call soon to get enrolled before they're gone.

Pre-K enrichment at Chatter & Chalk!!

Our SLPs joined the classroom to read a book about opposites while modeling language on an AAC device because communication doesn’t only happen through speech.

When adults model AAC alongside spoken language, children learn that every way of communicating matters.
