🍎 ATTENTION TEACHERS! 🍎

As you head into a new school year, you’re often one of the first people to notice when a student may be struggling with speech, language, or communication.
In this reel, Jen shares a few things teachers can be on the lookout for when considering whether a student may benefit from an SLP referral. 👀🗣️ And parents, we know it can be frustrating when you feel like your child needs additional support but they don’t qualify for school-based services. That doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t other options! At SASSKC, we’re here to help answer questions, take a closer look at your concerns, and determine whether additional support may be beneficial.💛

Feeding therapy should never just be about getting a child to take a bite or tolerate a new food. Before progress can happen, there has to be trust between the child and their feeding therapist.

At SASSKC, we want children to feel safe, supported, and respected throughout the feeding process. We pay attention to their emotional cues, build positive experiences around food, and recognize that feeding is about so much more than what’s on the plate.

And sometimes, feeding concerns go beyond the scope of one professional. There may be an emotional component that benefits from support from a mental health professional or play therapist, or a nutritional component where collaborating with a dietitian is an important piece of the puzzle.

Good feeding therapy isn’t about forcing progress. It’s about building trust, understanding the whole child, and knowing when to bring other professionals to the table.💛

That’s how we do things at SASSKC.

Is your child ready for the school year?📚🍎

When we think about being “school ready,” it’s easy to focus on backpacks, school supplies, and first-day outfits. But communication skills are just as important.
Think about whether your child can:

✨ Sit and listen during group activities
✨ Follow directions
✨ Keep their body safe and respect others’ space
✨ Ask for help or advocate for what they need
✨ Communicate bathroom needs
✨ Tell you (or their teacher) about their day

These skills don’t have to be perfect before school starts, but they’re wonderful areas to practice together! In this post, Jen shares simple tips you can start using at home to build confidence before the first bell rings.

If you’re wondering whether your child’s communication skills are where they need to be, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to help💛

🚨Looking ahead: We’ll be hosting Speech & Hearing Screenings at SASSKC in mid-September! If you’ve been collecting questions or wondering whether your child could benefit from an evaluation, this will be a great opportunity to get answers. More details and registration information are coming soon, with limited appointment spots available.

Save this post for later and share it with a parent who’s getting ready for back-to-school!

🚨Hot take alert🚨

Not every child needs you to match their energy!

Sometimes the most effective thing you can do is slow things down.

By lowering our own energy, we create space for children to regulate, process what we’re teaching, and truly engage with therapy. Learning doesn’t have to be loud or fast to be meaningful. In fact, slowing down often leads to better understanding, stronger communication, and more lasting progress.

Follow us for more takes, tips, and all things SLP!🙌🏼

As parents, we all have moments where we hope something is “just a phase.”

Jen gets it. As both a speech-language pathologist and a mom, she admits she’s been guilty of “ostriching” or wanting to avoid something because she’s afraid of what the answer might be. But the truth is getting answers is always better than wondering!!

If your child…
👂 Doesn’t consistently respond to their name or sounds around them
🗣️ Doesn’t seem to understand the language you’re using
🍽️ Is extremely rigid around mealtimes

…don’t wait it out. These can be signs that your child could benefit from additional support.

Seeking an evaluation doesn’t mean something is “wrong.” It means you’re giving your child the opportunity to get the help they need, if they need it.

From one parent to another, don’t ignore your gut!Reach out to us!💛

Storytime doesn’t have to be a struggle!📖✨

If your child loses interest halfway through the book, this one’s for you! Jen shares a few simple ways to keep reading fun, interactive, and engaging so that you can turn the last page feeling like storytime was a success.🙌🏼

Reading together does so much more than create special memories. It helps build speech and language skills, expands vocabulary, strengthens comprehension, and lays the foundation for future reading success.

The goal is never perfection, it’s creating positive reading experiences that help your child grow!🤍

Successful reading depends on a strong foundation of literacy, comprehension, spelling, writing, executive functioning, and expressive/receptive language skills. These are all areas that speech-language pathologists evaluate and support!

If your child has struggled with reading, writing, or keeping up with classroom demands, don’t wait for another school year to wonder why.

Start with answers. Schedule an evaluation before school begins and give your child the support they need to feel more confident this year!🙌🏼

Because this school year can be differentđź’›
