Bubbles aren’t just fun — they’re one of our favorite tools in speech therapy! ✨

This playful activity helps kids build essential speech, language, and oral-motor skills while staying fully engaged.

During bubble play, our speech therapists can target:
• Bilabial sounds like P, B, and M
• Early word approximations
• First words and simple requests (like “more” and “please”)
• Sign language for communication
• Oral-motor skills such as lip rounding, lip closure, and lip protrusion

The best part? Kids feel like they’re just playing — but their brains are working hard!

At Move U, we turn meaningful moments into powerful progress. Give us a call at (605) 409-9533 to request a free 20 minute consult today and learn how we can support your child's growth & development.💛🫧

Ever wonder what motor planning really looks like in kids? 🤔

Motor planning is your child’s ability to think of an idea, figure out how to do it, and then carry it out—and it plays a huge role in everyday activities.

Kids who struggle with motor planning may:
• Have difficulty starting or sequencing tasks
• Avoid new or unfamiliar movement activities
• Get frustrated when activities require multiple steps
• Struggle with coordination or timing
• Need extra help figuring out how to move their body

At Move U, we support motor planning development through engaging, sensory-rich activities—
and our rock wall is always a client favorite! 🧗‍♂️✨

From creating a plan… to trying it out… to adjusting as they climb… your child builds confidence, independence, and motor planning skills one hold at a time.

If you’re noticing your child struggles with these skills, we offer free 20-minute consults to help you better understand how pediatric therapy can support them. 💛

About a week ago, we hosted another Sensory Friendly Haircut Event — and it was such a success! ⭐️✂️

Haircuts can be incredibly challenging for many children because they are a sensory-rich experience — new sounds, unfamiliar tools, light touch on the head and neck, sitting still, and unpredictability can all feel overwhelming.

If you’ve noticed your child struggling with:
• The sound of clippers or scissors
• Sitting still or staying regulated
• Touch around their head, face, or ears
• New environments or unfamiliar routines

👉 Pediatric therapy can help!
Our goal is to build confidence, regulation, and positive experiences through supportive strategies that meet your child where they are.

If your child struggles with haircuts, stay tuned for our next Sensory Friendly Haircut Event or request a free 20-minute consultation to learn how therapy can support them in building comfort and success with everyday routines.

You’re not alone — and support is available 💛
