🎃 Calling all trick-or-treaters of all abilities!

Whether you’re handing out treats or making Halloween memories with your little ones, here are a few extra ways to spread the holiday fun!

🧡 Keep the surprises fun, not scary! Loud sounds and flashing lights can be overwhelming for some children.
🧡 Celebrate the little moments! For some children, approaching a doorstep or new environment is a big accomplishment!
🧡 Create a welcoming space! A well-lit path can help little visitors feel more comfortable.

What’s one way you help make Halloween welcoming for everyone! Share your ideas below!👇🏻

“His teacher says he eats most everything at daycare!”

Does this sound familiar? Here’s the thing: eating is about more than just food.

Peer influence, routines, emotions, hunger, and mealtime expectations can all affect how your child eats. Sometimes, after a long day, your child simply has less energy for trying foods or sitting through dinner.

What can help?
✨ Create predictable mealtimes
✨ Take the pressure off eating
✨ Focus on connection instead of a clean plate

If you’re struggling at mealtimes, feeding therapy can help! Our team can help your child explore new foods and develop the skills needed for successful eating. Reach out to us today!

🍁 If you’re looking to switch up your game shelf this season, try these fall-inspired favorites that are filled with opportunities to get your child talking, thinking, counting, predicting, and following directions along the way!

Practicing language doesn’t have to feel planned, either. Try a few simple prompts, like “What did you get?” “What comes next?” or “Where does it go?” to keep conversation going while you play.

Save this for a cozy fall game night!

Does your child take two bites and suddenly they’re “all done” and leaving the table?

It’s easy to measure a successful mealtime by how long your child stays at the table or how much they eat, but those aren’t the only signs of progress.

Success can look like a little more time at the table, less resistance getting there, or simply enjoying mealtime together.

If staying seated is consistently making meals stressful or you have concerns with chewing, swallowing, or food variety, a feeding evaluation can help figure out what might be getting in the way! DM us today to get started!

Happy AAC Awareness Month! AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gives children different ways to express their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings.

Did you know? AAC does not prevent a child from developing spoken language. It actually supports language and development!

Join us this month in celebrating all the ways children communicate!

Sometimes, the best way to know if your child is listening isn’t to watch their eyes, it’s to see what happens next.

Instead of asking for eye contact, make space for more communication:
✨Keep directions short and clear
✨Get close so your child can hear you
✨Give them extra time to process what you’ve said before repeating yourself
✨ Ask them to show you or tell you what they heard

Children show attention in different ways, and sometimes, taking the pressure off eye contact can make listening, processing, and responding feel easier.

That board game sitting on your shelf? It can be a great tool for supporting your child’s language, attention, and communication skills.

From an SLP perspective, board games create opportunities for your child to follow directions, take turns, learn new vocabulary, and practice asking and answering questions.

The good news? You don’t have to turn game night into a therapy session. Simply talking about what you’re doing, modeling new words, and giving your child time to respond will help build language skills while your child is having fun!

Why do we love board games in speech therapy?

Board games naturally bring so many skills into play, such as waiting, turn-taking, following rules, coping with disappointment, and communicating with others.

When your child is invested in a game, they have a real reason to communicate, respond, problem-solve, and stay connected.

And when something unexpected happens? That’s part of the learning too! It gives us a chance to support your child in therapy through those moments as they happen.

Your turn! Drop your child’s favorite board game in the comments!

We shared how reading can support speech, language, and early literacy skills so let’s fall into some of our favorite books for the season!

Books are a great way to spark conversation with your child! Try these simple tips from our SLPs to encourage more interaction during story time:
🍁 Expand what your child says! If they say, “leaf,” you can respond with, “Yes! A red leaf!”
🍁 Follow their lead. If they want to spend extra time on a page or reread a section, that’s okay!
🍁 Give choices. This can make participation easier if your child isn’t ready for open-ended questions!

What’s your family’s favorite fall story? We’d love to add more books to our list!

Did you know that reading with your child can also support many of the skills we work on in speech therapy?

Shared reading creates opportunities for your child to learn new words, practice storytelling, and strengthen their comprehension.

Remember: you don’t have to read every word on the page! Follow your child’s interest, take time to talk about what they notice, and ask simple questions to support their learning in fun and engaging ways!

What is your child’s favorite book right now? Tell us in the comments!👇🏻
