🎒 Back-to-school season is here!

Practicing simple, functional phrases before the first day can help children feel more prepared and confident when interacting with teachers and classmates. Swipe through for five helpful phrases to practice at home!

Why these phrases matter: Learning and practicing short, functional phrases builds confidence, reduces first-day anxiety, and supports independence. These phrases give children easy tools to ask for help, join activities, and express needs, which improves classroom participation and social connection. Practicing at home lets parents model language, role-play real situations, and celebrate small successes, making school transitions smoother and more positive!

We also want to thank all of our incredible clients and families for an amazing summer. Your hard work, trust, and support mean so much to our team. 💛

🍂 Reminder: Our fall schedule begins Monday, August 17. Please check your upcoming appointment times and contact the office with any scheduling questions.

✨If your child could benefit from speech, language, or communication support, we'd love to help! Give our office a call to learn more about our services or to get started and 419-396-0105.

What an amazing time we had at Speech Camp! 🎉🗣️

We wrapped up camp last Thursday, and we had so much fun while building speech and language skills through books, crafts, games, and sensory activities!

📚 We enjoyed reading stories like Where the Wild Things Are and created our own paper plate monster faces inspired by the book.

🌈 My Many Colored Days helped us explore emotions and talk about how different feelings can affect our bodies, thoughts, and actions.

✨ Our campers loved our hands-on sensory activities, including searching through Orbeez to find and identify their first and last names while practicing language and early literacy skills.

💎 We also made friendship-style bracelets by threading the same number of beads as our age. This fun activity gave campers opportunities to practice counting, fine motor skills, following directions, and conversational skills while creating a special keepsake to take home.

Throughout camp, we worked on a variety of speech and language goals, including communication, vocabulary, following directions, social skills, emotional awareness, early literacy, and fine motor coordination, all while having fun!

A huge thank you to our wonderful campers and families for making Speech Camp such a success. We loved spending time learning, laughing, and growing together. We can't wait to see everyone again next year! 💛

✨ Monday Speech & Language Milestone Fact ✨

🧠 Did You Know?

A child's brain develops language long before they say their first word! 👶💬

From birth, babies are learning by listening to the voices around them. Every conversation, song, story, and silly sound helps build the foundation for speech and language development.

💡 This Week's Milestone Tip:
🗣️ Talk about what you're doing throughout the day.
📚 Read together—even if it's only for a few minutes.
🎵 Sing songs and nursery rhymes.
⏳ Ask simple questions and give your child time to respond.

Remember: The best language-building tool isn't found in a toy aisle—it's your voice! ❤️

Follow along every Monday for a new Monday Speech & Language Milestone Fact to help support your child's communication journey!

Also we have ONE spot left for speech and language camp that starts this Thursday. Give us a call at 419-396-0105 to save your child's spot.

Kindness like this deserves a shoutout! 💛

We were so excited to receive I Learn Best My Way! by Kayla Obenour after winning a book giveaway, and the best part is that we have an amazing family to thank for it!

A huge thank you to Tori Barrientos for thinking of our practice and entering our name into the drawing. Your kindness and support mean so much to us!

This book carries a message that aligns beautifully with what we believe every day: there is no one "right" way to learn. Every child has unique strengths, interests, and ways of understanding the world. We love resources that celebrate different learning styles, encourage confidence, and remind children that their unique way of learning is something to embrace.

We can't wait to add this wonderful book to our collection and share its empowering message with the families we serve.

Thank you again, Tori, for thinking of us! We feel so fortunate to be part of such a thoughtful and supportive community. 📚💛

Learning happens in so many ways. Sometimes it looks like squishing Orbeez, choosing colorful stickers, and having fun along the way. 💙

Lately, our patients explored sensory play and added their own creative touch to our name display. Activities like these help create opportunities for communication, engagement, fine motor development, and self-expression in a fun, supportive environment.

We love watching our patients learn, grow, and let their personalities shine! 🌈

We had an amazing visit with Jenna from Tiffin Family Chiropractic. It is 100% worth your time and money to call them for overall chiropractic and wellness needs. We look forward to many opportunities to work together in the future to help all our families with communication and overall wellness goals. Thank you for the visit!

What an awesome visit we had with the Speaking, Listening, Connecting Speech-Language Pathology Center team in Carey! 💙 McKenzie specializes in prompting: a REALLY cool speech therapy method that helps kiddos develop stronger verbal communication! 🗣️✨

They’re passionate about ALL forms of communication, verbal and non-verbal, because all communication is connection. 🥰
