Sneezy the Snowman: A Winter Favorite for Speech Development! ❄️🗣️

This charming book by Maureen Wright is more than just a fun read—it's a speech therapy goldmine! Why SLPs and parents love it:

👉 Repetitive patterns that build confidence and predictability
👉 "ACHOO!" sounds perfect for articulation practice
👉 Rich vocabulary for hot/cold concepts
👉 Cause-and-effect language throughout
👉 Great for targeting /s/ and /z/ sounds (sneezy, snowman, sneeze!)
👉 Problem-solving discussions that boost expressive language

The story follows Sneezy trying to warm up, only to sneeze and create chaos each time. Your child will love joining in with the sneeze sounds while naturally practicing speech skills!

Perfect for winter speech home practice. 📚⛄

What to Read Wednesday! Check out this adorable book by Salina Yoon. Little ones will love it with its goofy Thanksgiving turkeys doing funny things like dancing and tanning. The rhyming tale is perfect for reading aloud, and the crinkly tail feathers add a fun touch, making it easy for tiny hands to flip the pages.

When Tommy started with Kids Who Count, his vocabulary was next to nothing—he barely said "mama." Now, working with his incredible speech therapist Miss Linda (who he adores!), his vocabulary has grown so much and he's trying to say new words every day.

The biggest change? His siblings. They talk to him differently now, helping guide him to the right words. Tommy is SO responsive when they practice his goals together. It's been beautiful to see.

Kids Who Count has given our family hope, reassurance, and the tools we need. 💙

When to Reach Out for Crawling Support 🚩

As an early intervention provider, we want you to know when a developmental screening might be helpful:

Consider reaching out if your child:

👉Shows no interest in moving or exploring by 12 months
👉Isn't bearing weight on arms during tummy time by 6-7 months
👉Has significant stiffness or floppiness in muscles
👉Only uses one side of the body to move
👉Has lost previously acquired motor skills
👉Isn't progressing through ANY form of mobility by 12-15 months
Or if you just have concerns—parent intuition matters!

Early intervention isn't about labels—it's about support during critical developmental windows. A screening is quick, free, and can give you peace of mind or connect you with resources.

Meet Hendrix 💙

"My child knew only a few words and had stopped saying those. We started with Kids Who Count, and within just weeks, everything changed. Our entire family has learned how to work together to help Hendrix speak, and watching him gain confidence has been incredible. His progress has been absolutely awesome!" -Mom

If your child is struggling with speech, Kids Who Count might be the support you need. 🌟

Wait time matters: Why pausing helps your child communicate 🤐⏰

One of the most powerful things you can do for your child's language development? Stop talking and wait.

I know—it feels unnatural! We want to fill the silence and help our kids. But here's what happens when you pause...

When you give your child 5-10 seconds of silence after asking a question or making a comment, you're giving their brain time to:

👉 Process what you said
👉 Formulate their own response
👉 Build confidence to communicate
👉 Practice problem-solving
