✨ Provider Spotlight: Katie ✨

All month long, we’re celebrating the incredible providers on our team! Today, we’re continuing our spotlight on Katie, who is sharing easy, everyday ways to support speech skills at home.

📖 At-Home Learning with Katie: Bath time can be a fulfilled, language rich experience.

🧠 Skills you can practice:
Bathtime routine can include skill building in all areas. The routine of bath time can include potty training, following directions, dressing/undressing, and teeth bruising. When we incorporate all of these skills along with the language behind the routine, we can make gains across all areas.

🏡 Tips to build these skills at home:
Always include toys as children learn through play. Keep the general routine the same so that children can learn to expect what is coming next.

✨ Provider Spotlight: Katie ✨

This month, we’re celebrating the amazing providers on our team, and we’re thrilled to keep the series going by featuring our practice owner, Katie! We took some time to ask her a few questions about her role and what she finds most rewarding about her work.

🗣️ What made you decide to go into speech therapy?
I had a strong desire to give others the ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings. I also wanted to help those that couldn't eat and drink freely.

🎭 What do you like to incorporate into your sessions?
I use a child led philosophy in my practice, so I tap into what the child's interests are. I also like to incorporate books into most sessions.

💡 What’s one tip you would give to parents?
Narrate your child's daily routines and activities.

We appreciate Katie’s guidance, passion, and care for all of our clients💛

🥪Mealtime Learning with Holly

🍎 What skills can be practiced during this routine?
• Bilateral coordination, such as washing fruits and vegetables
• Scooping and serving foods
• Stabilizing foods while cutting
• Exploring foods in a no-pressure, positive way

💡 2–3 simple tips for building these skills at home:
• Incorporate push-and-pull toys to build strength and coordination
