Did you know movement is a powerful and effective way to help boost attention?

It’s true! Movement gives children a chance to get their bodies organized and ready to learn. Adding short bursts of movement throughout the day can create natural opportunities to support attention, focus, participation, and learning.

Here are some easy ways to get your child moving:

🏃 OBSTACLE COURSE: Crawl through, jump over, walk around, balance on, climb through, or carry an object from one spot to another

🐻 ANIMAL WALKS: Walk like a bear, hop like a frog, waddle like a penguin, or crawl like a crab

💃 DANCE BREAK: Turn on a favorite song, copy my movements, freeze when the music stops, or make up your own dance

🛝 PLAYGROUND: Climb, swing, slide, jump, hang, run, or play a game of chase

🎯 INDOOR PLAY: Build a movement path with pillows, jump between targets, toss a ball, or move like different animals

🌳 OUTDOOR PLAY: Run, kick a ball, ride a bike, jump, climb, explore, or play a game of tag

You don’t need a fancy setup or a lot of extra time! A few minutes of purposeful movement can be a simple way to help your child get their body and brain ready to focus. 💙

Who needs a rainy day activity? 🙋‍♀️

We’ve been loving ice rescue at the clinic, and the best part is it’s so easy to recreate at home! Just freeze a few small toys or nature treasures in a container of water, then let your child “rescue” them using warm water, droppers, spoons, or even a little salt. 🧊💧

This simple activity builds fine motor skills, problem-solving, patience, and keeps little hands busy while having so much fun. If you’re worried about the mess, you can even move it to the bathtub!

Perfect for rainy days, hot afternoons, or anytime you need an easy, low-prep activity! Have you tried ice rescue yet? 🤍

Happy National SLP Day! 💙

Today we’re celebrating the heart behind communication—Speech-Language Pathologists who help children find their voices, build connections, and grow in confidence every single day.

At Babble and Beyond, we are so proud to support incredible kids and families as they learn, communicate, and thrive. Every sound, every word, every connection matters—and we’re honored to be part of that journey.

To all the SLPs making a difference: thank you for your compassion, your expertise, and the way you show up day after day. You truly change lives. ✨

💜 Today we celebrate the moms who show up—again and again.

The ones who advocate, question, research, and trust their instincts. The ones who celebrate the smallest victories (because they know how big they really are).

In speech and OT, growth doesn’t always look the way people expect—but you see it. You fight for it. You make it happen.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re so honored to be part of your child’s story.

Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible moms in our community. 💜

Happy national speech-language pathologist day!

We couldn’t think of any better way to celebrate than to finally announce we are adding another amazing SLP to our team this summer!

Gillian is a recent graduate of Nova Southeastern University, where she earned her master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of New Hampshire, receiving a degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies.

Before pursuing her graduate degree, Gillian worked for four years as a school-based Speech-Language Pathology Assistant.
She has experience providing individualized support across a wide range of speech, language, and communication needs. She believes in child-led, collaborative care and a team-based approach to treatment.

Outside of her professional interests, Gillian enjoys perfecting her sourdough recipes, spending quality time with family and friends, or caring for her ever-growing collection of houseplants. She’s often found with a book in hand or spending time outside with her sweet pup Rosie.
