🧠Therapy Tip Tuesday: Repetition Builds Retention🧠

Across speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapy, repeated practice helps children build stronger brain connections, develop confidence, and carry skills into everyday life.

💬 Speech Therapy: Repetition helps children learn and confidently use new words, sounds, and language patterns.

🍎 Feeding Therapy: Repeated exposure to foods, textures, smells, and mealtime routines can increase comfort and support food acceptance over time.

✋ Occupational Therapy: Practicing fine motor and sensory activities builds coordination, independence, and confidence.

🏃 Physical Therapy: Consistent practice of gross motor skills strengthens muscles, improves coordination, and supports motor planning.

✨ Every child’s journey is unique, but one thing remains true: small moments repeated often can lead to big progress. Talk with your therapist about ways to support your child’s goals at home!

24–30 months is such a fun stage full of growth, curiosity, and personality! ✨

Every child develops at their own pace, and milestones can look a little different for everyone. If you’d like to check in on your child’s development, we have a free and handy Development Checklist on our website:

If you ever have questions or concerns about your child’s development, we’re always here to help! 🤍

NEW BLOG POST!

Children notice differences—how others move, speak, and experience the world. 💛

And as parents, we have the power to shape how they respond.
Raising inclusive children doesn’t mean teaching them to ignore differences, it means helping them understand, respect, and value them.

Through simple, everyday moments—answering questions with kindness, modeling patience, and encouraging empathy—we can raise kids who don’t just accept others…
✨ They include them.
✨ They support them.
✨ They celebrate them.

Because inclusion starts at home. 🏡

Families need care, and we hate waitlists. 💛

Chatterbox Pediatric Therapy is hiring a Pediatric OT or PT (Part-time afternoons 2–6pm or Full-time 40 hrs/week) to join our interdisciplinary team.

If you’ve been feeling burned out by quantity-over-quality settings, this might be your next great step.

Important pay clarity: We’re an hourly W-2 clinic, and you’re paid for the whole job—treatment, caregiver coaching, documentation, collaboration, team meetings, cancellations, and admin time. (Not pay-per-visit / not direct-minutes-only.)
W-2 employee role (not 1099/IC).

What we’re building:
- Ethics-first, child- and family-centered care
- Documentation time built in
- Collaborative model (no silo therapy)
- CEU stipend
- Optional EI opportunities

If this sounds like you—or you know an OT/PT who would thrive here—comment “OT” or “PT” and I’ll message you the link/details, or DM us directly. 📧

For months, providers and families across Georgia have been sounding the alarm about what these Medicaid reimbursement changes could mean for children who rely on therapy services. Now, those concerns are becoming reality.

We are grateful to Atlanta News First for helping shine a light on the real impact these reimbursement cuts are having on therapy providers, children with disabilities, and families across our state.

Behind every percentage cut are real children — children learning to communicate, eat safely, walk independently, regulate emotions, and participate more fully in everyday life. These services are not optional. They are medically necessary and often life-changing.

Our team remains committed to advocating for sustainable access to care and supporting families through this incredibly difficult situation. We also stand alongside the many providers across Georgia facing impossible decisions as reimbursement reductions threaten the viability of pediatric therapy services.

Thank you to the families, clinicians, legislators, and community members who continue to speak up, share our story, and advocate for Georgia’s most vulnerable children.

Please continue sharing, contacting legislators, and helping raise awareness. Our children deserve access to the care they need. 💙

Does your child want to read the same book over and over? 📚 You’re not alone—and this is a great opportunity to build communication skills!
Try modeling simple, functional phrases during reading time:
👉 “Let’s read it again!”
👉 “Turn the page.”
👉 “That’s too loud.”
👉 “We’re all done reading.”
Repetition helps children learn language patterns, and familiar books make it easier for them to join in. Keep it fun, interactive, and consistent!
✨ Bonus: Pause during favorite parts to encourage your child to fill in words or phrases.

Summer Scheduling Reminder ☀️

With summer approaching, we know schedules may shift due to camps, vacations, and other plans. If your child will miss or need changes to their sessions, please let our Front Office know as soon as possible so we can support your scheduling needs 💛

Please note: if you give up your recurring time, we can’t guarantee it will be available again in the fall—after-school spots fill quickly 📅

If your current time works well, we encourage you to keep it for consistency ✨
