Could Occupational Therapy be a good fit for your child?

OT helps children with their daily routines, including:
--Playing with toys and interacting with others
--Using hands/fingers for crayons, puzzles, & scissors
--Getting dressed, managing buttons/zippers
--Feeding, mealtimes, and trying new foods
--Paying attention, staying calm, and handling sensory input

Our OT sessions are designed around your child and your family to feel fun and natural. Children learn best through:
--Play-based activities
--Movement and exploration
--Everyday routines like dressing, eating, and playtime

Our approach gives families the tools and support they need to help their child thrive. We come to you– in home, childcare, preschool, or even out in the community– wherever your child learns and grows best!

Speech Therapist or Speech Language Therapist?

A lot of folks, even ourselves included, call us Speech Therapists but that is a bit of a disservice— it leads many to think we are only for correcting speech sound issues like that classic /r/ --> /w/ liquid glide you’re familiar with, as it’s expected for a few kids in any given kindergarten class to be singing, “whoa whoa whoa yo’ boat.” In a 1st or 2nd grade class, this is much less expected. Sure, we can help correct those /r/ sounds, but our scope goes way beyond that— we are also specialized in how sounds make up words (phonology, morphology) and how those words connect to form the structure (syntax) of language. We help to build robust vocabularies (semantics), and how to use all those language skills effectively in social communication (pragmatics).

Phonology: the sounds of language and how they are organized into phonemes— the smallest units of sound that shape words.

Morphology: the structure of words and how they are formed from smaller units called morphemes— the smallest grammatical units which carry meaning.

Syntax: the rules governing sentence structure, word order, and the arrangement of words into grammatical and coherent phrases and sentences.

Semantics: the meanings of words, their associations, and contexts— essentially, vocabulary.

Pragmatics: the social use of language including how we use language to accomplish various tasks, establish relationships, and navigate social interactions. It includes the subtleties of tone, intent, and inference which determine how our language is expressed and received by others.

Baby Yoda using AAC-

This Star Wars Day, consider how tapping into the popular franchise might encourage early adoption of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

We're referring to the character Grogu (Baby Yoda for those less familiar with the galaxy far, far away), who in the Star Wars TV series “The Mandalorian” uses a machine called IG-12 — fitted with a form of AAC — to communicate. Read more: https://on.asha.org/42Ezjov

🧶📚 Weaving together strong readers with Scarborough's Reading Rope! 🧶📚

Just like a rope is made up of different strands woven together, reading requires different skills to be successful. Scarborough's Reading Rope breaks down these skills into different strands, including phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and more!

As a Speech/Language Pathologist, our Lead SLP Adam knows and shares that speech/language skills are key to reading success; However, overemphasizing sight words in early reading instruction can be like using only one type of yarn for a rope. It may work at first, but eventually, the rope may become weak and break apart. At Cool Kidz Therapy, we take a look at all the strings, so young readers develop strong literacy skills that will help them weave their way through any text they encounter. Say goodbye to sight word overload and hello to a lifetime of reading success! 🎉

Attention parents: Occupational Therapy is for your work, but if you're a kid, your work is PLAY! 🎉🎉🎉

We believe that play is one of the best ways for kids to build essential skills. Whether they're jumping, climbing, painting, or singing, every activity can help them grow and develop.

If your child needs help with fine motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, self-care, or any other aspect of their development, we're here to help!

Let's turn work into play and watch your child reach their full potential. Contact us today to learn more about our pediatric occupational therapy services. 🚀🎨👨‍🎨
