🚨 URGENT NEED 🚨

Friends, we need your help.

The Texas heat is becoming dangerous for our smaller animals, and despite doing everything we can, we've already suffered loss. 💔

We are urgently seeking donations of:

❄️ 12x12 or smaller squares of granite or marble
❄️ Box fans
❄️ Oscillating fans
❄️ High-velocity shop fans
❄️ Swamp coolers
❄️ Portable air conditioners
❄️ Misting systems
❄️ Outdoor cooling
❄️ Extension cords suitable for outdoor use
❄️ 100+ gallon water troughs or stock tanks
❄️ Another Freezer and/or refrigerator

Anything that can help move air, provide shade, or lower temperatures for our animals.

Many of our animals are especially vulnerable to extreme heat, and with temperatures continuing to climb, we are doing everything possible to keep them safe and comfortable.

If you have an item you no longer need, know of a business willing to donate, or would like to help us purchase cooling equipment, please send us a message.

Thank you for standing with us and helping us care for the animals that bring so much joy, comfort, and healing to our community. ❤️

Today was a blessing ♥️ We had our third speech and language enrichment lunch bunch following Toddler Tuesdays at Echoes of Eden Care Farm. Thank you to the farm for providing a peaceful space to host this event. Shout to Blissful Bites for the delicious and adorable farm animal cookies! Grateful for all the families that were able to join us today.
We discussed /m/ and /a/, sang songs with associated hand movements, and discussed literature and repetition to build language.

Things I Wish I Knew as a Parent (But Learned as an SLP) Series
Next up… How Swallowing Changes After Birth: Building Better Oral Skills

Newborns feed using strong pressure from the front of the tongue against the ni**le in a rhythmic suckle-swallow pattern. As babies grow, they learn to control and propel a bolus (mouthful of liquid or food) from the front to the back of the mouth for safer, more efficient swallowing. This leads to the mature swallow pattern, where the tongue tip lifts to the roof of the mouth in a wave-like motion — skills that also support speech development.

Encouraging this progression strengthens lip, tongue, and cheek muscles, improves feeding efficiency, and supports overall oral motor development.

Around 6 months: Start offering small, parent-held sips from an open cup and a straw cup. Both help promote mature tongue movements, lip seal, and controlled swallowing.

Limit traditional hard-spout sippy cups: They often maintain the immature forward tongue pattern babies use for ni**les and provide fewer developmental benefits. They’re convenient for occasional no-spill use, but straw and open cups are better for building important skills.

These tips align with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) guidance on pediatric feeding and swallowing milestones.

Every child develops at their own pace — follow your baby’s cues and check with your pediatrician or SLP if you have concerns.

If feeding transitions or oral motor skills feel challenging, a speech-language pathologist can provide personalized support. Reach out to Empower Therapeutics — we’re here to help your little one thrive.
