We’re having so much fun designing and creating our new mini object line Talkets™ 💙

We love going back-and-forth with our SLP and designer to make sure there are no sharp points or edges — just smooth, rounded, perfectly sized minis made to be safe, durable, and engaging so little hands can’t resist!

Talkets mini objects
• Solid colors
• Great for color sorting
• Perfect to pair with larger objects for teaching prepositions
• So fun to band together and play “I Spy”
• Easy to pair with books
• A simple way to freshen up your mini collection

Available now at speechandsmile.com

And we’re growing our very own Talkets™ shop, where you can shop all things Talkets™ in one place!

Playgroup in the Pool is back March 20 at 10 am.

This special event is always a hit! It’s playgroup — but in the water 😊
A fun, low-pressure opportunity for your child to get comfortable in the water, build confidence, and simply have fun — without the focus on intense instruction or skill drills.

Led by a certified teacher and certified swim instructor.

Ages recommended: 2–7
Cost: $20 per child
Location: Pellston

If your child is 2 and under, a parent will be required to join them in the water. There is an additional $10 fee for parent participation.

Please note: This event is a collaborative with Petoskey Swimming and Speech & Smile. Paperwork and payment will be completed directly with Petoskey Swimming at the time of the event.

Mini objects for mighty words 💙

All jokes aside 😂 Our team may be small, but we are mighty 💪💙

I’m always looking for ways to make us more efficient — especially when it comes to filling the Say & Play Mini Objects™ speech sound sets with over 300 mini objects.

Every single object is organized by sound.
There are no duplicates.
And it truly is the OG therapy tool you can incorporate into so many types of learning.

We think we’ve found a way to speed up our process… 👀

Wish us luck — stay tuned! 💙

One of our newest Say & Play Mini Objects™ Story Kits is here! 💙
🍦🍨🍧
Ice Cream Kindness from the sweetest, simple story about kindness — and if you know me… can I ever say no when a fellow asks for minis to match her book? 🥹

We paired this engaging, easy-to-understand story with the cutest food minis so kids can play, retell, and truly connect with the message.

➡️➡️ If you love food minis and a meaningful story about kindness, this one’s for you.

For a limited time, grab the book + minis together in our Etsy shop OR speechandsmile.com

About Jill..Speech and Smiles

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Jill and I have been a speech and language pathologist with children for 20 years. I am also a busy mom of teens and toddlers who loves to encourage better speech sounds with all children including my own.

I live in Northern Michigan and work with children in the school setting. I have continuing education experience with creating speech materials, facilitating professional learning for SLPs, autism course work, child development course work, association participation and hospital experience. I have enjoyed all of these experiences plus more!

However, over the past 2o years, I absolutely enjoy connecting with parents to help support their child's typical or atypical speech development. My professional experience paired with motherhood truly helps me understand the challenges with atypical speech development in children. Parents have the ultimate connections with their child to support and encourage speech sound development when given the right strategies, tips and tools to do so.

This page is my most recent adventure to connect with parents and share simple, easy speech development strategies. I may share a story or interesting article too!
