💬 AAC Month: Every Voice Matters!

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes tools and strategies that help individuals communicate when speech alone may not meet their needs. AAC can include picture boards, communication books, and speech-generating devices that allow children to express their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings.

A few things to know about AAC:
    •    AAC does not prevent or delay speech development.
    •    There is no age requirement to begin using AAC.
    •    AAC supports communication, language development, independence, and social connection.
    •    Every child deserves access to a way to communicate!

Have questions about AAC or wonder if it could benefit your child? Talk with your child’s Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at Kick Start! We’re here to help support your child’s communication journey.

🎒 Big feelings after school? You’re not alone.

Sometimes the child who holds it all together at school needs a safe place to finally let it out when they get home. This can look like irritability, crying, tantrums, or a complete “meltdown” after an otherwise successful school day.

This is sometimes called school restraint collapse—and it can be a sign that your child has been working hard to manage their emotions, sensory needs, and expectations throughout the day.

Swipe through for 5 simple tips to make the transition from school to home a little easier 💙

✨ Think:
• A low-pressure wind-down period
• Offering a filling snack
• Reducing demands and questions
• Creating space to decompress
• Meeting their needs before expecting conversation

Remember: connection first, questions later. 🫶

Take speech and language learning outside! A nature walk is the perfect opportunity to build communication skills through play and exploration. 🌻🌱🌳

Try these prompts during your next adventure:
🌼 “Can you find something yellow?”
🪨 “Tell me how this rock feels.”
🍂 “What’s bigger—the leaf or the flower?”
🐞 “What do you think the bug is doing?”
🌳 “Let’s make up a story about what we found!”

Nature walks naturally encourage children to:
💚 Expand vocabulary
💚 Practice describing and comparing
💚 Answer and ask questions
💚 Follow directions
💚 Build conversation and storytelling skills

Save this idea for your next outdoor adventure!
