👀 Same activity. Same materials. Different goals.

Speech therapists—also called Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)—are experts at targeting multiple skills at the same time. We’re also great at using the same materials in flexible ways to address different goals. That’s why it may look like your child is “just playing”… but a lot is happening behind the scenes.

That one activity might be targeting:
✨ Articulation (clear speech sounds)
✨ Comprehension (understanding directions & questions)
✨ Expression (using words and sentences)
✨ Vocabulary (learning new words)
✨ Socialization (turn-taking & interaction)
✨ Intelligibility (being understood)
✨ Fluency (smooth speech)
✨ Literacy (language for reading & writing)
✨ Voice (healthy voice use)

Same materials. Different goals.

💬 What does a speech therapist work on?

Speech therapists—also known as Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)—support many areas of communication, not just talking clearly. Here are some of the key skills we assess and treat:

✨ Articulation – helping children say speech sounds clearly
✨ Comprehension – understanding directions, questions, and spoken language
✨ Expression – using words and sentences to share thoughts and ideas
✨ Vocabulary – learning and using new words
✨ Social skills – interacting with others, taking turns, and using language socially
✨ Intelligibility – how easily others understand your child’s speech
✨ Fluency – supporting smooth, confident speech (including stuttering)
✨ Literacy – language skills that support reading and writing
✨ Voice – healthy voice use without strain or hoarseness
✨ Communication – using language effectively in everyday life at home and school

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child might benefit from speech therapy, an SLP can help guide the next steps.

Small, everyday moments support language growth✨

A few supportive habits that can help:
• Use the language that feels most natural in your family
• Talk during play, meals, and daily routines
• Follow your child’s lead and respond to their attempts to communicate
• Repetition helps — toddlers learn by hearing words many times
• Consistency matters more than a “perfect” balance

Toddlers learn language through meaningful, everyday interactions with the people they trust — not drills or pressure.

👉 Families don’t need to choose just one language.

Research shows that bilingual toddlers and early school-age children often develop:
• Better attention and flexibility
• Stronger awareness of sounds and words
• Early problem-solving skills

These benefits apply even for children with speech or language delays and are supported by research summarized by National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

I’m sharing a question I saw recently on social media.

Honestly? You don’t need special toys.

For young toddlers, a few simple things go a long way:
Books- they expose children to tons of vocabulary and speech sounds
Narrating everyday routines- describe vocabulary and actions during bath time, snack time, getting dressed, etc.
Interactive play—talk through actions and use fun sounds for animals and transportation.

And yes, interactive videos like Ms. Rachel can be helpful too. Overall, speech and language grow through interaction.

Many toddlers go through stuttering, or disfluent, phases, especially during rapid language growth- basically, their mouths can’t keep up with their brains as they learn lots of new words and sentences at once!

These stutters usually have a few common traits:
• Repeating words or short phrases (“I, I, I want”)
• Relaxed speech – no tension in the face or neck
• Child doesn’t notice or get frustrated
• Comes and goes – not every time they talk

What matters most isn’t just what you hear, but how your child responds—stuttering is usually normal if it’s relaxed and inconsistent.

In my next post, I’ll share easy ways to respond to your toddler’s speech at home.
