📚 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
Dyslexia doesn’t just affect reading—it impacts spelling, writing, and overall confidence with written language. ✏️💡

Early support from speech and language therapy can make a huge difference. By building strong language foundations and using evidence-based strategies, we empower children and adults with dyslexia to thrive. 🌟

Let’s work together to break down barriers and celebrate the strengths of dyslexic thinkers!

🗣️ October is AAC Awareness Month!
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gives individuals a voice when speaking is difficult. From picture symbols to high-tech devices, AAC opens doors to connection, independence, and confidence. 💬✨

As a speech and language therapy practice, we’re proud to support children and adults using AAC and to raise awareness about the importance of communication access for everyone.

🔑 Communication is a human right.💜

DID YOU KNOW... language development can happen 2 different ways?

You may be familiar with one (Analytic Language Development), but not as familiar with the other (Gestalt Language Development).

Gestalt Language Development is often (but not ALWAYS) seen in children with autism.
Likewise, Analytic Language Development is often (not ALWAYS) seen in those without autism.

If you want to learn more about how your child is developing language, more about a certain type of language development or feel your child my need some support in one stage of language development - we'd love to answer your questions!

You are doing amazing out there, Moms and Dads!

To the mom buckling her child into the car for ABA therapy while everyone else is heading to soccer practice—you’re doing an amazing job.

To the dad carrying an AAC device everywhere he goes—you’re giving your child a voice, and that’s powerful.

To the mom who quietly leaves birthday parties early because it’s just too overwhelming—I see you.

To the dad who skips the sports conversations about goals and trophies—your child’s progress matters just as much.

To the mom who takes deep breaths in the waiting room of yet another specialist—you are stronger than you know.

To the dad avoiding going out in public because he fears the stares—you’re not alone in that.

To the mom mourning the dream of dance recitals or sleepovers—it may not happen in the way you pictured, but there will be moments worth celebrating.

To the dad who lit up when his son said “buh” for “bubbles”—yes, that’s huge. Hold on to it.

To the mom sitting with another evaluation report that feels discouraging—don’t give up hope.

To the dad wishing his son would call him “Daddy”—so many of us are waiting right there with you.

On the days when it feels like too much, when you wonder how you’ll keep going, remember this: you are not alone. Your love, your patience, your fight…it all matters. Even if your child can’t say the words, they know. They feel it.

It’s okay to cry, to feel tired, to wish things were easier. None of that makes you less of a parent, it makes you human. To every mom and dad giving their child the best life possible in a world that doesn’t always understand, you are amazing ❤️
