Did you know? A simple stretch can make a big difference for babies with feeding challenges. 💛

Our occupational therapist and feeding specialist, Kayla, is demonstrating the Tiger Hold (also called the Guppy Pose)—a gentle stretch commonly used to help improve neck mobility in babies with torticollis, a condition where the neck muscles become tight, causing a baby to favor looking to one side.

In this position:
🐯 Baby’s trunk is supported along the therapist’s forearm.
🤲 One hand supports the lower shoulder while the other gently tilts the head to stretch the tight neck muscles.
✨ The stretch is slow, gentle, and always tailored to the individual child.

Early intervention can help improve range of motion, support symmetrical motor development, and make tummy time, rolling, sitting, and other milestones easier to achieve.

Important: These stretches should only be performed after being instructed by your child’s therapist to ensure they’re appropriate and done safely for your baby.

If you’ve noticed your little one consistently looking to one side, developing a flat spot on their head, or struggling with tummy time, we’d love to help.

💙 Every child deserves to be heard.

Communication isn’t limited to spoken words. Whether a child uses speech, gestures, facial expressions, sign language, or an AAC device, all forms of communication are valid, meaningful, and worthy of respect.

At Southeastern Communication & Swallowing Specialists, we embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach to therapy. Our goal is never to change who a child is—we strive to understand how they communicate best and provide the tools, support, and environment that help them connect with the world on their own terms.

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) doesn’t replace speech. Research shows that AAC can support language development, increase participation, reduce frustration, and empower children to communicate with confidence.

Every voice matters.
Every child deserves to be understood.

🌟 OT Month Spotlight: Why Crawling Matters 🌟

At SCSS, we’re celebrating Occupational Therapy Month by highlighting one of the most important (and often overlooked!) developmental milestones… CRAWLING 💙
Crawling is so much more than just getting from point A to point B—it builds the foundation for so many critical skills:

✨ Strengthens shoulders, arms, and core
✨ Develops coordination between both sides of the body
✨ Supports fine motor skills (hello, future handwriting!)
✨ Builds visual tracking and spatial awareness
✨ Lays the groundwork for independence and confidence
✨ Supports feeding development through improved postural stability, core strength, and oral-motor coordination

Even if your child prefers to walk early or skip crawling, practicing crawling can still be incredibly beneficial!

Our OTs love incorporating crawling into play-based therapy to support whole-body development—including skills needed for feeding, play, and daily routines—in a fun and meaningful way 🫶

Every movement matters—and we’re here to support each step (and crawl!) along the way 💫

We may have missed the date, but the message is always worth sharing 💛💙

This video is close to our hearts — a collection of real parents sharing their experiences, perspectives, and the incredible things they want the world to understand about Down syndrome. Their voices matter, not just on World Down Syndrome Day, but every single day.

At SCSS, we are continually inspired by the children and families we serve. We are committed to supporting, advocating, and celebrating every child exactly as they are — while helping them grow, thrive, and be seen for all of their strengths.

Take a moment to listen, learn, and celebrate alongside us.
