Happy National Pet Day!🐾🩵💙💚🐾 Share your Pet!
Saturday, we celebrate National Pet Day with some very special members of our extended clinic family.

Behind every speech therapist here is a pet who has sat beside us after long days, kept us company while planning sessions, and reminded us to slow down and enjoy the moment. They may not know what articulation goals or language milestones are, but they’re experts in connection, patience, unconditional love & support.

In many ways, that’s what we strive to bring into our work every day. A safe space, encouragement without judgment, and small moments that build confidence over time.

So today, we’re sharing a few of the furry friends who make our lives brighter. They inspire us more than they know.

We’d love to see yours too. Share a photo of your pet in the comments and tell us what makes them special! 💚

Sharing a BIG Congratulations to Olivia in Eagle River!! 🎉

Olivia has officially earned her CCC-SLP, a huge milestone that reflects years of hard work, dedication, and hands-on training.

We’re so proud of your commitment to helping children and families communicate and thrive. Thank you for being such an incredible part of the It’s More Than Speech team. Your impact truly makes a difference!

Join us in celebrating Olivia and this amazing achievement! 💫

So, what does “CCC-SLP” mean?

It stands for Certificate of Clinical Competence, a credential that shows a speech therapist has met national standards in education, training, and clinical skills.

To earn it, therapists complete a master’s degree, extensive clinical hours, pass a national exam, and finish a supervised fellowship.

Those three letters mean your therapist is fully trained, tested, and committed to providing high-quality care.

Hey hey - it’s another work anniversary!

Here’s to celebrating 4 years with our amazing and creative speech therapist, Rebecca Brooks!

From thoughtful activities to encouraging words, you consistently make each therapy session a place where clients feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.

You build genuine connections with clients and families, and you’re just as supportive of your teammates, always sharing tips, ideas, and new things to try. That level of care and thoughtfulness is exactly who you are, both as a therapist and as a teammate.

Thank you for the care you give, the progress you help create, and the positive energy you bring to our team. We’re so grateful for all that you do and proud to celebrate you today!
