Can a child have both autism and apraxia of speech? 🤔🧠🗣️

They’re two very different conditions — but they can absolutely overlap.

🔹 Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication and social interaction
🔹 Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to coordinate speech muscles
🔹 Some children experience both, and when they do, communication can become even more challenging

The good news? Speech therapy can help.

Here’s how pediatric speech therapy supports kids with both conditions:

✅ Improves speech clarity and intelligibility
✅ Teaches alternative communication (like AAC or sign)
✅ Builds expressive language skills
✅ Supports parents with home-based strategies
✅ Encourages confidence and social engagement

Your child deserves to be heard and understood — whether they’re speaking, signing, or using communication boards.

📘 Read more about how speech therapy supports autistic children with CAS — and what to look for if you suspect both.

Can babies really learn sign language? 🤔👶 YES — and it might even help their speech development!

American Sign Language (ASL) isn’t just for the Deaf community. It’s a rich, expressive language that helps many children — including those with speech delays, autism, or selective mutism — communicate earlier and more clearly.

Here’s what parents should know:

🧠 ASL is a full language with its own grammar
👋 Signing can start before a baby’s first words
💬 It supports communication for non-speaking or speech-delayed kids
🥺 It reduces frustration when babies can’t yet speak
🤝 It strengthens connection and bonding
🌎 There are 300+ sign languages used worldwide

And no — signing won’t delay your child’s speech. In fact, it might help boost it.

📘 Learn more about how and when to introduce ASL, and how our pediatric speech therapists in Washington DC can help.

Discover how American Sign Language (ASL) supports communication for all children — hearing, nonspeaking, or delayed — and how speech therapy can help.

Did you know your child’s speech and feeding skills depend on tiny muscles you can’t even see? 👄🍎

Oral motor skills involve the muscles of the jaw, lips, tongue, and cheeks — and they’re essential for eating, swallowing, and speaking clearly.

When these muscles don’t develop properly, children may struggle with:

🔹 Speech clarity
🔹 Feeding or swallowing (dysphagia)
🔹 Chewing and tongue coordination
🔹 Gagging, choking, or food aversions
🔹 Saying long or complex words

In some cases, these challenges are linked to speech disorders like:
🧠 Childhood apraxia of speech
💬 Dysarthria
🥣 Pediatric dysphagia

✅ The good news? Pediatric speech therapy can help!

At Triumph Therapeutics in Washington, DC, our team builds custom treatment plans to strengthen oral motor skills and help kids speak and eat with confidence.

📘 Learn more in our latest blog post — and discover how early intervention can make a big difference.

“Did I do something wrong?” 💭💔
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, confused — and even guilty. But here’s the truth:

➡️ Cerebral palsy is not your fault.
It’s the result of brain development differences or injuries — and often, the exact cause isn’t clear.

🧠 Some of the known risk factors include:
🧬 Genetic conditions or blood type incompatibility
🤰 Infections or complications during pregnancy
👶 Low birth weight, prematurity, or multiple births
⚠️ Jaundice left untreated after birth
💔 Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)

With the right support, children with cerebral palsy can thrive — and pediatric therapy can play a huge role in helping them reach their potential.

🧩 How pediatric therapy can help:
🗣️ Speech therapy for communication challenges
🧠 Occupational therapy for independence in daily tasks
🏃 Physical therapy to improve movement and coordination

At Triumph Therapeutics in Washington, DC, we’re here to help your child grow with confidence, ability, and support.

💬 Let’s build a care plan that’s right for your child.

Mealtimes shouldn’t be a daily battle. 🍽️😔

If your child gags, coughs, melts down, or avoids food entirely, it might be more than picky eating — it could be pediatric dysphagia, a swallowing disorder that makes eating physically difficult or uncomfortable.

🚨 Left untreated, dysphagia can affect:
🔹 Nutrition and growth
🔹 Emotional well-being
🔹 Social participation
🔹 Overall development

With the right care team, your child can build stronger feeding skills and develop a healthier relationship with food.

👩‍⚕️ Speech therapy for pediatric dysphagia can help your child:
✔️ Improve chewing and swallowing skills
✔️ Safely try new textures and foods
✔️ Reduce stress around mealtime
✔️ Build feeding confidence at home and school

At Triumph Therapeutics in Washington, DC, we create individualized, family-centered plans to support your child’s feeding journey.

💡 Help is here — and healing is possible.

👉 Book your appointment today and take the stress out of mealtime.
