HELP PROTECT ACCESS TO SPEECH THERAPY

New CMS rules could make it harder for kids to get the speech therapy they need.

Families already face long waitlists and a shortage of therapists. We need to make care easier to get—not harder.

🗣️ Please share your story with CMS before September 13.

Tell them why speech therapy matters to your child, your family, or your community.

Every voice matters.

General guidelines:
Infants (4–12 months): 12–16 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2): 11–14 hours
Preschool (3–5): 10–13 hours
Early school age (5–6): 9–12 hours

Sleep needs vary—but chronic under-sleep often shows up as:
• More meltdowns
• Hyperactivity
• Difficulty focusing
• Trouble regulating emotions

Try this:
Track your child’s sleep for 3 days
→ Compare it to these ranges to see if they may be overtired.

Things like holding a crayon, using utensils, buttoning clothes, or writing…

These are the skills that build independence.
When they’re hard, kids may:
• Avoid tasks
• Get frustrated easily
• Lose confidence

We focus on making these skills achievable and meaningful—so kids don’t just improve, they feel successful.

Early childhood nutrition supports:
• Brain development
• Immune function
• Growth and motor development
• Attention and learning

Research shows that repeated exposure (often 10–15+ times) is needed before a child accepts a new food.
So when your child says “no”—it’s not failure.
It’s part of the process.

Try this:
Keep offering a food your child has refused—without pressure
→ Exposure builds familiarity. Familiarity builds acceptance.

Falling asleep is a skill.

Some children need support learning how to:
• Calm their body
• Slow their breathing
• Transition from activity to rest

This is especially true for kids with sensory or regulation challenges.

Try this:
Before bed, add deep pressure or calming input:
• Tight hugs
• Gentle back rubs
• Rolling a ball over arms/legs

→ Helps the nervous system shift toward calm.
