Summer is the perfect time to grow language skills through play, conversation, and everyday adventures ☀️🗣️

Children learn language best during meaningful interactions, and summertime naturally creates opportunities for communication, social skills, vocabulary growth, and storytelling!

Try these speech therapy-inspired summer activities to support language development at home:
🍉 Talk about foods, colors, textures, and tastes during snacks and picnics
📚 Visit the library for summer reading programs and interactive story time
🫧 Practice requesting, turn-taking, and following directions during water play
🐞 Go on nature walks and talk about what you see, hear, and feel
🎨 Encourage storytelling and describing during crafts and imaginative play
🎲 Play board games to build conversation, problem-solving, and social communication
🎵 Sing songs and nursery rhymes in the car or outside
🏖️ Use beach or sandbox play to practice concepts like big/small, in/out, under/on top

Speech therapy can help children with:
• Late talking and language delays
• Difficulty understanding language
• Speech sound errors
• Social communication challenges
• Gestalt language processing
• Autism-related communication needs
• Literacy and early reading skills
• Following directions and attention
• Confidence communicating with others

At Unified Therapy Services Waverly, our speech therapists use play-based, child-centered approaches to help children build communication skills in ways that feel fun and motivating.

📅 We currently have NEXT DAY speech therapy appointments available to help your child continue progressing this summer!

Many people think physical therapy is only needed after a surgery, injury, or fall, but some of the biggest benefits come from starting therapy BEFORE a major problem happens. 💪🚶

As we age, small changes in strength, balance, mobility, and endurance can gradually affect safety and independence. Often, the warning signs show up long before a fall occurs.

Signs it may be time to consider physical therapy:
⚠️ Difficulty getting out of a chair
⚠️ Trouble rolling over or repositioning in bed
⚠️ Feeling unsteady while walking
⚠️ Slower walking speed
⚠️ Holding onto furniture or walls for balance
⚠️ Increased fatigue with daily activities
⚠️ Difficulty climbing stairs
⚠️ Feeling stiff or fearful of movement
⚠️ Near falls or loss of balance
⚠️ Decreased confidence leaving the house or walking in the community

Physical therapy can help improve:
✔️ Strength and endurance
✔️ Balance and fall prevention
✔️ Walking and mobility
✔️ Flexibility and joint movement
✔️ Confidence and independence
✔️ Transfers like getting in/out of bed or chairs
✔️ Pain management and posture
✔️ Safety with everyday activities

The goal is simple: help you stay active, independent, and doing the things you enjoy for as long as possible.

At Unified Therapy Services in Waverly, our physical therapy team create individualized treatment plans focused on improving mobility, reducing fall risk, and helping you move with confidence again.

📅 Call 319-352-1234 or email [email protected] to schedule an appointment today!

Don’t wait for a fall to happen — early intervention matters.

Bladder leakage is common- but it is NOT something you simply have to live with. 💜

Pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence can affect people of all ages and may impact confidence, sleep, exercise, travel, work, and everyday activities. The good news? Occupational therapy can help.

Occupational therapy for stress and urge incontinence focuses on improving the strength, coordination, timing, and function of the muscles involved in bladder control while also addressing the impact symptoms have on daily life.

Symptoms pelvic floor therapy may help include:
• Leaking with coughing, sneezing, or exercise
• Strong urgency or difficulty making it to the bathroom in time
• Frequent nighttime urination
• Wearing pads due to leakage
• Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Avoiding activities because of bladder concerns

Occupational therapy treatment may include:
✔️ Pelvic floor muscle coordination training
✔️ Biofeedback for muscle awareness and control
✔️ Bladder retraining strategies
✔️ Breathwork and pressure management
✔️ Core strengthening and posture
✔️ Lifestyle and habit modifications
✔️ Myofascial release and manual therapy when appropriate
✔️ Education to improve confidence and independence

Pelvic floor therapy is private, individualized, and designed to help you return to the activities you enjoy without fear or embarrassment.

At Unified Therapy Services Waverly, our occupational therapists provide compassionate pelvic floor care focused on restoring comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

📅 Next day pelvic floor therapy appointments available!

You do not have to “just deal with it.” Call 319-352-1234 or email at [email protected] today to schedule an evaluation.

Sidewalk chalk can support goals across:

🖍️ **Occupational Therapy (OT)**

• Visual motor integration
• Crossing midline
• Motor planning and body awareness
• Sensory regulation and creativity

🏃 **Physical Therapy (PT)**
• Balance and coordination
• Jumping and hopping skills
• Strength and endurance
• Gross motor planning
• Obstacle courses and movement patterns

🗣️ **Speech Therapy (ST)**
• Following directions
• Vocabulary and language development
• Turn-taking and social communication
• Letter and sound practice
• Storytelling and imaginative play

Simple chalk activities can become:
🌈 Hopscotch games
🎯 Obstacle courses
🔤 Letter hunts
🦶 Balance paths
🎨 Giant art projects
🗺️ Scavenger hunts
💬 Interactive language games

The best learning happens when kids are engaged, moving, laughing, and having fun. That’s exactly what we strive for every day at Unified Therapy Waverly 💚

Did you know one of the best places to work on occupational therapy skills is right outside your front door? 🌳☀️

Nature play and outdoor scavenger hunts are FUN ways to build important developmental skills while kids explore, move, and learn through play. The best part? Kids often don’t even realize they’re “working” on therapy goals! 🌈🪴

Try an OT-inspired outdoor scavenger hunt this week and look for:
🍃 Something rough
🌼 Something yellow
🪨 A smooth rock
🐞 An insect
🌲 A tall tree
🍂 Different leaf shapes
🪵 Something heavy to carry
💧 Something wet or cold

Outdoor activities naturally help develop:
✔️ Fine motor skills (picking up small objects, opening containers)
✔️ Visual scanning and attention
✔️ Motor planning and coordination
✔️ Sensory processing and regulation
✔️ Balance and body awareness
✔️ Executive functioning and problem-solving
✔️ Language and social interaction
✔️ Emotional regulation and confidence

Bonus ideas for OT skill-building outdoors:
🪣 Carrying buckets or watering plants for heavy work
🖍️ Sidewalk chalk obstacle courses
🧗 Climbing, crawling, jumping, and balancing games

Occupational therapy helps children build the foundational skills needed for success in play, school, self-care, and everyday life. Sometimes the best therapy tools are sunshine, dirt, and imagination ☀️💚

At Unified Therapy Services Waverly, we love helping kids learn through meaningful, play-based experiences.

📅 NEXT DAY occupational therapy appointments available!
