👀 Behind the scenes...

Take a peek inside my garage. 😄

It may look like a wall of labeled bins, but this is where a lot of my therapy planning starts.

One of my favorite ways to organize therapy is by theme.

Instead of coming up with completely new activities every week, I'll spend a few weeks using the same theme in lots of different ways.

We might read different books, play with themed toys, explore sensory bins, use matching games, answer WH questions, practice speech sounds, or work on AAC—all centered around the same idea.

The theme stays the same.
✨ The activities change.
✨ The goals change.
✨ The child leads the play.

I actually love keeping the same theme around for a while because children learn through repetition. Familiar materials help build confidence, encourage deeper play, strengthen attention, and create opportunities to practice new skills in different ways.

It's also a strategy I recommend to parents!

You don't need a house full of toys or something brand new every week. Try rotating a few books and toys every couple of weeks instead. Bringing out a familiar theme after it's been tucked away often makes it feel exciting all over again.

Sometimes less really is more.

Children don't need endless novelty—they need meaningful opportunities to play, connect, and learn. 💙

Back-to-school books are officially back in rotation!

I love using themed books because they're so much more than a story.

Many of mine have removable Velcro pieces, communication boards, and companion activities that let me adapt the same book for every child I see.

One child might be matching pictures.

Another is learning vocabulary like backpack, bus, and teacher.

Someone else is sorting and categorizing, answering WH questions, practicing speech sounds, or retelling the story.

For many children, back-to-school books also give us an opportunity to preview what's coming next. Whether a child benefits from extra preparation, is learning new routines, or simply needs repeated exposure to school-related vocabulary and concepts, these books help make the unfamiliar feel a little more familiar.

The same book can...
✨ teach first words.
✨ expand sentences.
✨ support AAC.
✨ target speech sounds.
✨ build comprehension and narrative skills.
✨ practice classroom routines and expectations.

That's my favorite kind of therapy material; one activity that can grow and change with the child sitting in front of me.

Things I hope every parent knows 🤍

If there's one thing I wish every parent could hear, it's this:

You don't have to create perfect learning opportunities for your child.

Communication grows during the little moments we often overlook.

📚 Reading the same favorite book for the hundredth time.
🛒 Talking while grocery shopping.
🐕 Teaching the dog a new trick.
🫧 Laughing during bath time.
🍓 Making lunch together.
🚗 Singing in the car.

Those everyday interactions matter.

As a speech-language pathologist, I absolutely love helping children build communication skills—but I also love helping parents realize they don't have to be "doing therapy" all day long.

Your presence matters.

Your responsiveness matters.

Your relationship matters.

The goal isn't to say the perfect thing or create the perfect activity.

It's to stay connected.

Because connection creates communication. 🤍

🌊 Behind the Play: Ocean Week

When you look at this setup, you probably see ocean animals, books, sensory materials, and a fun summer theme.

When I look at it, I'm thinking about communication opportunities.

Before a session even begins, I'm considering how one theme can support many different goals depending on the child sitting across from me.

One child might practice requesting and expanding vocabulary.

Another might work on answering questions or describing.

Someone else might be sequencing a story, following directions, or using their AAC device to participate.

The materials are the same—but the therapy is never one-size-fits-all.

I'm also thinking about how I'm interacting. Am I waiting long enough for a child to initiate? Can I model a new word or phrase? Should I expand on what they've already said? Or is this the moment to step back and simply follow their lead?

That's one of my favorite parts of pediatric speech therapy.

The toys don't determine the therapy.

The child does.

Every session is thoughtfully planned, individually adapted, and always child-led. 💙

There are a lot of quiet moments behind a pediatric private practice.

Planning. Learning. Organizing. Writing reports.

Then I pack my bag, head out the door, and get to spend the best part of my day: playing, connecting, and helping children communicate.

I thought it would be fun to start sharing a little more of what happens behind the scenes—not just the therapy activities, but the person and the practice behind them.

Before every session, I'm making decisions about which toys are most likely to engage that specific child.

I love using Little People because they're familiar, flexible, and naturally invite pretend play. Together we can act out everyday routines like getting dressed, eating dinner, going to bed, visiting the doctor, or taking care of a baby.

Those simple moments create opportunities to build vocabulary, answer questions, expand language, practice social communication, and tell stories.

The toy isn't the goal. It's the doorway to meaningful communication.

Speech therapy doesn't always look like drills—it often looks like play. And that's exactly the point. 🎉

One of my little clients has a birthday this week, so we turned our session into a birthday celebration!

We read birthday books, sang "Happy Birthday," wrapped and opened presents, and talked about all the fun parts of birthdays. While it looked like we were simply playing, every activity was chosen with a purpose.

Throughout the session we targeted:
• expanding words into phrases
• requesting and commenting
• following directions
• building vocabulary
• answering questions
• practicing social routines like giving gifts, celebrating, and taking turns

The best part? He'll get to practice these same communication skills again during his real birthday celebration with family. That's what makes play-based therapy so powerful-- children learn language in meaningful experiences they can immediately carry over into everyday life.

Wishing my birthday buddy the happiest celebration this week! 🥳

Today, my client had collected sticks before I showed up, so we built a tic-tac-toe board right there on the ground. Leaves and acorns became our game pieces, and we incorporated our speech targets right in!

Play doesn’t have to be planned or perfect—it just has to connect with the child in front of you. 💬✨

Parent tip: Next time you’re outside, let your child lead the way—you might be surprised how much learning sneaks into play.

I’m working with a two-year-old who LOVES purple, so I prepped one of my go-to therapy activities. Gather a bunch of objects in their favorite color. 💜 This simple strategy gets them excited and engaged, and it’s an easy way to incorporate all sorts of language activities and targets throughout our session.

I put them all in a closed container to build anticipation as we visually scan what is inside. We can target requesting to open the container, labeling the objects, putting together two words (purple + object), put them into categories, or discuss the function of each object. All while PLAYING! 😊

❤️💙💜💛💚🧡🩷🩵
