We get it — it’s freezing outside and those big fluffy coats are tempting. But when it comes to car seats, bulky jackets and thick coats can actually put kids at risk.

Here’s why 👇
❄️ Puffy coats create extra space in the harness
❄️ In a crash, that padding compresses
❄️ Straps that felt “tight” suddenly aren’t

The safer move:
✔️ Buckle kids in snug without the bulky coat
✔️ Do the “pinch test” — no slack means you’re good
✔️ Then place the coat or a blanket over the harness

Cold kids = uncomfortable
Loose car seats = dangerous

Stay warm, stay safe, and make sure everyone arrives buckled up the right way. 🚓💙

We have an awesome new resource for SLPs and caregivers!

A new e-book, “Captain of My Voice”, is now available as a free download in our resource library on the Spero Stuttering website!

In this space-themed picture storybook, children connect their own experiences with vivid imagery and simple truths about stuttering.

The final lesson is one of self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and self-advocacy—because “My friends can wait. I’ve got something important to say.”

Find this new storybook in our Resource Library, under Clinical Resources:

Autistic people can be: any color, any “look,” any emotion, any level of regulation- any of the things.

I think social media has helped people to understand this and look forward to more mainstream media expanding their presentation of Autism outside of “dysregulated white male” and “genius white male who is often dysregulated but rarely happy” ❤️❤️

In times like these, it’s easy to feel helpless but even small acts can make a big impact. At Austin Tea Xchange, our mission has always been rooted in community, connection, and giving back.

The devastating floods that swept through the Texas Hill Country have deeply affected so many of our neighbors in Kerr County. This tragedy hits close to home for all of us.

We’ve been moved by the strength and compassion of our Hill Country community and inspired by the many Texans organizing to help. In that spirit, we’ll be donating 100% of our profits from this Monday and Tuesday to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund (), a 501(c)(3) organization directly supporting recovery efforts in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort.

Stop by for a cup, a bite, or just to show your support and know that your visit is making a real difference.

From all of us at Austin Tea Xchange, we’re sending love, light, and strength to those affected. 💛
