Due to the recent government shut down and the loss of potential SNAP benefits in an already challenging time for a lot of families I would love to make a donation of some non perishable food items to our local food bank. If anyone in the Elderton or Shelocta area would also like to drop items off with me I’d be happy to take them in! Please message me if you are interested. You can message me here on my business page or my personal Facebook!

Summer days are coming to an end which means it’s back to school time!

I have had the privilege of working all over the country (Alaska, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming so far) as a speech therapist in public schools, online cyber charter schools, and in homes. I have also had the privilege to work with kiddos in preschool, intensive resource rooms, elementary school, high school, and transitional (18-21) schools. All via zoom!

That being said, I am moving back to full time hours in a public school in Kansas so my hours are more limited during the school year. Some of my summer kiddos have decided to move forward and continue sessions after school. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are in need or are interested in talking about services.

Thank you all so much and happy school year!

Enjoy a very chaotic look into what a virtual therapy session might look like. Obviously, my kids are small and chaotic 😂😅 and you would be on zoom but we play lots of fun games for all ages 😁 I still have some openings on Wednesdays for some speech therapy sessions!

“Children gesture before they begin to speak and continue gesturing throughout the language learning process...children’s early gestures not only precede, but also predict, the onset of a number of linguistic milestones–nouns, nominal constituents, simple and complex sentences. Gesturing may thus play a causal role in language learning, and could do so in two ways: (1) Gesturing gives children the opportunity to practice expressing ideas in a preverbal form. (2) A child’s gestures offer parents and other communication partners insight into the child’s linguistic level, thus giving the partners the opportunity to provide input tailored to that level.”

Goldin-Meadow, S. How gesture helps children learn language. (2014)

Some caregivers worry that we are giving up on verbal language when we begin using gestures or other non-verbal forms of communication. But gestures can be an amazing stepping stone to words. They seem to help the concept of communication click for a child...If I do this, then I get what I want/need! Have you found this to be the true?

I had the absolute pleasure of working with a large caseload of students who use speech generating devices this school year in Alaska. I am so thankful for the amount of information I learned this year ♥️♥️♥️

“But does he really need that to communicate? Can’t he just talk?”

Nah. We just thought it’d be fun to add another thing to charge at night.

We picked the long, expensive route for character development. 💁🏻‍♀️

Jokes aside, studies have shown that AAC devices don’t delay speech. In fact, they often help support and develop it.

Letting someone communicate in whatever way works for them isn’t giving up. It’s giving access.
