🧠 Understanding comes before talking.

Receptive language develops first. It’s how children understand and perceive the world around them! Children are taking in words, gestures, questions, routines, and more.

Think of receptive language as the foundation for expressive language. Before children can communicate what they know, they first need to understand it. 💬🤍

First we understand. Then we communicate.

AAC isn’t giving up on speech. It’s giving a child more ways to communicate. 💚

AAC can support children at all ages and stages of communication, whether they’re nonverbal, using a few words, or speaking but having difficulty expressing their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings.

And one of the biggest myths? That AAC will prevent a child from talking. Research shows AAC can support communication and language development, and there’s no need to wait until other options have been exhausted.

Wondering if AAC could benefit your child? An SLP can help evaluate their communication needs, explore different AAC options, and find the right supports for them. 🗣️✨

Back to school means new routines, new expectations, and lots of new skills! 🎒✏️📚

Parents & teachers, as kiddos settle into the school year, here are a few things to keep an eye on:

✂️ Fine motor & independence: Using school supplies, opening lunch containers, managing buttons/zippers, organizing belongings, and completing self-care tasks.

🏃 Gross motor: Keeping up with peers, navigating stairs, participating in PE and playground activities, getting up and down from the floor, and having enough strength and endurance for the school day.

💬 Communication & feeding: Following directions, expressing wants and needs, participating in conversations, being understood by others, answering questions, and managing age-appropriate eating and drinking.

If you notice your child or student consistently struggling with everyday school activities, OT, PT, or speech therapy may be able to help. 💙

Here’s to a happy, successful school year for all of our kiddos, families, and teachers! 🎒✨

Before you say, “Not in your mouth!” 👶🦷

For babies, mouthing isn’t just a habit. It’s one of the first ways they learn about the world.

When babies explore safe, age appropriate objects with their mouths, they’re:
⭐️Building brain connections
⭐️Developing oral awareness
⭐️Strengthening the lips, tongue, and jaw for feeding and speech
⭐️Improving hand to mouth coordination
⭐️Exploring new textures, shapes, and temperatures

So while it may feel like everything ends up in their mouth, this stage is an important part of healthy development.

If your baby rarely mouths toys or seems to avoid exploring with their mouth altogether, it may be worth discussing with your pediatrician or a pediatric OT or SLP. Early oral exploration is an important part of feeding, speech, and sensory development.

Of course, always supervise your baby and make sure the objects they’re mouthing are clean, safe, and not a choking hazard.

Did this surprise you?

What if I told you picky eating starts with looking and not eating?🍓🫐

Before babies confidently eat a new food, they often:
👀 Look at it
👃 Smell it
✋ Touch it
👅 Lick it
😋 Taste it
🍽️ Eat it

The same progression often applies to older picky eaters. They may need multiple opportunities to explore a food before they’re ready to eat it.

Instead of focusing only on bites, celebrate every step. Exploration builds familiarity, and familiarity helps build confidence with food. ❤️

Don’t skip messy play because of the clean up 👇🫧

Shaving cream is a fun way to encourage sensory exploration, pre-writing skills, feeding skills, fine motor development, and play-based learning. If you’ve been avoiding it because of the cleanup, this simple hack is for you!

Instead of using paper towels that just smear the shaving cream around, place the rim of a cup flat against the table and use it to lift the shaving cream right off the surface. Then, wipe away the small amount that’s left. Less mess, less waste, and more time for play!

✨Save this tip for your next therapy session or sensory activity.

The 4th may be over, but these crafts were too fun not to share! 🇺🇸❤️ Our patients had a blast creating patriotic masterpieces while building fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, creativity, and hand strength through play. We hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day! Which one would your kiddo want to make?! ✨
