The morning rush doesn't have to be a battleground. If your child struggles with verbal reminders to brush teeth or get dressed, try using a simple visual schedule on the fridge.

Seeing the steps in pictures takes the pressure off their ears and lets them check off tasks independently.

Want personalised visual strategies for your home?

Herman & Associates can help customise your child's routine.

Did you know that behavior is communication?

When a child who is non-verbal or minimally verbal throws toys, bites, or screams, itโ€™s often because they have no other way to say "I'm overwhelmed" or "I want that."

Giving them an AAC tool directly lowers these behavioral meltdowns.

Let's replace meltdowns with communication.

For moms of kids who use communication apps (like Proloquo2Go or TouchChat) on an iPad, how long did it take for your child to get used to it?

If you are just starting your AAC journey because verbal speech is tough for your little oneโ€ฆ I'd love to hear some real-life success stories to stay motivated.

Do you need guidance on your AAC journey?

There is nothing more heartbreaking than when your child is crying because something hurts, but they don't have the verbal words to tell you where.

If verbal speech isn't working right now, low-tech picture boards or high-tech speech devices give them a voice immediately.

Give your child a way to speak. Message us to discuss AAC evaluations.

Did you know that introducing a communication tablet or picture board does not stop a child from learning to speak verbally?

This is the biggest myth out there. Research proves that giving a non-verbal child an AAC device actually reduces frustration and supports natural speech development.

Hey, moms! I have encountered a mom with a 3-year-old who understands absolutely everything she says, but they can barely say any words back to her. It leads to so much frustration and screaming because they know what they want but can't get it out.

Has anyone else dealt with this specific gap between understanding and speaking?

Did you know that pointing and using gestures actually speeds up talking?

Some people worry that if a kid points to a cup, theyโ€™ll get "lazy" and won't speak. But speech research shows that gestures are the concrete bridge to verbal words. The more they communicate with hands, the sooner the words follow.

Every pediatrician tells you "don't worry, they'll talk when they're ready," but deep down, your gut tells you something is off.

If your 2-year-old is using fewer than 50 words or isn't combining two words together, waiting usually just delays help.

Early intervention makes the biggest difference. Trust your mom instinct.

๐ŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence! ๐ŸŽ‰

We're proud to celebrate Edgard on his 10-year work anniversary with Herman & Associates Children's Therapy!

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, Edgard has spent years helping children find their voices and empowering families through compassionate, individualized care. Over the past decade with our team, he has built meaningful connections with patients, families, and coworkers while celebrating countless milestones alongside the children he serves.

When reflecting on his career, Edgard shared:

"Throughout my close to 25 years as an SLP, I have experienced a rewarding career where I've had the opportunity to make connections with families and coworkers and experience the satisfaction of seeing patients reach their goals."

What continues to inspire him is a belief that resonates deeply with our mission:

"Being in a position where I can potentially give someone a means to communicate is the inspiration behind why I do what I do. I believe everyone deserves the chance to be heard."

Edgard, thank you for your dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to helping children discover their voices and reach their fullest potential. Your expertise and heart have made a lasting difference in the lives of so many families, and we are grateful to have you as part of the Herman & Associates family.

Today we're celebrating an incredible milestoneโ€”14 years of dedication, compassion, and excellence from Shana Smith, Speech-Language Pathologist at Herman & Associates Children's Therapy! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’š

Shana's passion for helping children has made a lasting impact on countless families throughout the years. When asked what inspired her to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, she shared:

"I became an SLP because I was intrigued with child development, language development, and the stages children go through to achieve their developmental milestones. Being a part of a child's growth, nurturing, and development is my passion! And no one will make you smile and laugh more than a child."

That passion shines through in everything Shana does. Her dedication to helping children find their voices, build confidence, and reach their fullest potential has changed lives in immeasurable ways. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine love for her patients make her an invaluable member of our team.

Shana, thank you for 14 years of commitment, kindness, and the joy you bring to our clinic every day. We are grateful for the difference you make in the lives of the children and families we serve, and we are honored to celebrate this milestone with you.
