Here is a great visual to show the difference between two similar, yet different, disorders. It can be hard to tell the difference between the two, but this is a great graphic to help distinguish between them.

BUT WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?! 🤔

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and a severe phonological disorder can SEEM similar at first; however, when you take a hard look at the features, it really helps to differentiate the two!

No act too big or too small to be meaningful! 💜

Play is not “just play.” 💙

Some of the most important communication moments happen during:
🫧 bubbles
☀️ pool days
🍉 snack time
🏖️ beach walks
🚗 car rides

Children learn language through connection, laughter, and shared experiences.

So if your child is playing this summer…
they’re learning more than you think. ☀️

If this message resonates with you, follow along for more communication centered support for families.

🖐️High Five Friday!!🖐️

It’s not always easy making it through the week, and Fraggle (Mrs. Lori’s axolotl) wanted to give everyone a High Five – and hopefully, a smile – for getting to Friday, and a wonderful weekend ahead!
(He had to use his back foot, because his hands only have FOUR fingers!!)

We'd love to see YOUR Happy Friday High Five in the Comments! 💜
