💙 A new school year is a fresh start — but that doesn’t mean we have to start from scratch.

If last school year was HARD, it’s understandable to go into this one hoping things will be different.

But last year also gave you information.

What was difficult? What did the school try? What seemed to help? What definitely didn’t? And if challenging behavior was part of the struggle, what might your child have been trying to communicate?

Sometimes the best place to start isn’t finding a brand-new solution. It’s taking what you already know about your child and figuring out what you can learn from it.

And you don’t have to sort through all of that information by yourself. 💙

Through Little Hops School & Family Supports, I can help you make sense of what happened last year, identify patterns worth paying attention to, and think through questions and strategies as you move into the new school year.

🐰 No ABA services required.

If you’re heading into this school year thinking, “I really don’t want a repeat of last year…” — message Little Hops. Let’s talk.

And if you know a caregiver who had a tough school year last year, save or share this with them. They may need the reminder that a hard year wasn’t wasted — it gave us information we can use moving forward.

💙 This is one I’d love for you to save — or share with a family who might need it.

One thing I’ve learned from working with families is that needing support doesn’t always mean needing ongoing therapy.

Sometimes it looks like having an IEP sitting in front of you and not being completely sure what it means.

Sometimes there’s a school meeting coming up and you want to feel more prepared.

Sometimes you know your child is capable of more, or that something isn’t working, but you’re struggling to figure out what questions to ask next.

And sometimes you simply want a knowledgeable person in your corner while you figure it out.

That’s the gap I created School & Family Supports to help fill.

Little Hops may have ABA Therapy in the name, but you do not need to receive ABA services to work with me.

🐰 If this sounds like something your family could use, message Little Hops to talk about which consultation may fit your needs.

💙 And if your family doesn’t need this right now, save this post or share it with a caregiver who might. You never know who has been trying to figure out where to turn for a little extra support.

🍎 Your child is getting their first IEP… now what?

Receiving an IEP for the first time can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot of information, unfamiliar language, and important decisions being discussed about your child.

The good news? You don’t have to understand everything all at once.

Start small. Look at where your child is currently performing, then look at where their goals are taking them. And when something doesn’t make sense or you’re unsure how a support may help your child — ask questions.

You are an important part of your child’s IEP team, and your knowledge of your child belongs in the conversation. 💙

But sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing that you can ask questions.

It’s knowing what questions to ask.

That’s where Little Hops can help.

Through IEP Review & Parent Prep, I can review your child’s individual plan with you, help you make sense of the goals and supports being proposed, and help you identify the questions or concerns you want to bring to your child’s team.

The goal isn’t for you to become an IEP expert overnight.

💙 It’s for you to walk into the conversation informed, prepared, and ready to participate.

🍎 When was the last time you read your child’s IEP and thought, “Yes. This still sounds like my child”?

Children grow. Skills change. New strengths emerge. New challenges can appear. Sometimes the plan sitting in our files may not fully reflect where a child is today.

As we prepare for a new school year, this is a great time to pull that IEP back out and take another look.

Ask yourself:

💙 Does this still sound like my child?
💙 Are their current strengths represented?
💙 Do I understand what the school is addressing?
💙 Do I understand the supports included in their plan?

And remember — you are an important part of your child’s school team. You know their strengths, challenges, preferences, and what works for them outside of school.

If you look through the IEP and realize you’re not sure what you’re looking at, what questions to ask, or whether it reflects your current concerns, Little Hops can help.

Through IEP Review & Parent Prep, Little Hops School & Family Supports can help you review the plan, identify your biggest questions and concerns, and prepare for conversations with your child’s school team.

✨ School & Family Supports are available independently of ABA therapy. No ABA services are required.

📩 Message Little Hops to get started before the school year begins.

Let’s walk into this school year feeling informed, prepared, and empowered.

🐰 Today's Little Hop looks a little different...

Sometimes moving forward means changing the plan.

A work injury has temporarily relocated Little Hops headquarters to the couch—with my leg propped up, continuing education underway, Little Hops work within reach, and a very committed feline assistant supervising operations. 😂

Today isn't about getting everything done. It's about slowing down, adapting, and still making a little progress where I can.

There are emails to answer, credentialing updates to track, resources to create, and plenty happening behind the scenes—but none of it has to happen all at once.

And really... isn't that what Little Hops is all about?

Progress doesn't always have to be big or fast to count. 💙

Sometimes the little hop for the day is simply doing what you can, with what you've got, from wherever you happen to be.

Even if today... that's the couch. 😂

🍎 Introducing our August Series: Big Changes. Little Hops. 🐰

For the next few weeks, we're pressing pause on our regular Little Hops educational series to focus on something that's on many families' minds... back-to-school!

Whether your child is starting preschool, returning to a familiar classroom, or walking into a brand-new school, transitions can bring excitement, uncertainty, and a lot of questions.

Throughout August, we'll be sharing practical tips, encouragement, and simple "Little Hops" you can take to help make the transition a little smoother—for both you and your child.

📚 Today's Little Hop: 5 Ways to Prepare for School

As the school year approaches, it's easy to feel like you have to prepare for everything at once.

The good news?

You don't.

Start with one routine.

One skill.

One conversation.

Those small moments of practice build confidence, independence, and make the transition back to school feel a little less overwhelming—for everyone.

Remember, the goal isn't for the first day to be perfect.

It's for your child to feel supported, confident, and ready to try something new.

💬 What's one "Little Hop" your family is taking before school starts? We'd love to hear in the comments!

💙 If your family could use extra support preparing for the school year, Little Hops School & Family Supports is here to help.

Whether you're navigating school transitions, preparing for an IEP meeting, or looking for personalized strategies to support your child, we'd love to partner with you.

📩 Send us a message to learn more about how Little Hops can support your family.

💙 Because big changes don't happen all at once...

Some of the most important work doesn't happen in a therapy session... it happens before a family ever reaches out.

Today is dedicated to networking, marketing, and building connections within our community. Every email, every introduction, and every conversation is an opportunity to connect with professionals who share the same goal—helping children and families thrive.

Little Hops has always been about more than providing ABA therapy. It's about creating a collaborative network where families feel supported and providers work together to help children succeed.

If you're a local pediatrician, SLP, OT, psychologist, educator, or another professional who serves children and families, I'd love to connect and learn more about how we can support one another.

Here's to another productive day of building something meaningful... one little hop at a time. 💙🐰☕

One of my favorite things about working with children is discovering how they communicate with the world around them. 💙🐰

Communication doesn't always sound the same.

Sometimes it's words.
Sometimes it's gestures.
Sometimes it's eye contact, facial expressions, body language, AAC devices, signs, or engagement in an activity.

And sometimes, children communicate in ways that are easy to overlook if we're only listening for spoken language.

Every child deserves the opportunity to find their voice—whatever form that voice takes.

I've learned so much from children who use AAC and alternative forms of communication. Time and time again, they remind me that communication is about connection, not just spoken words.

Our job isn't to decide what communication should look like. Our job is to take the time to listen, watch, and support children as they discover the pathways that work best for them.

Because communication is not just talking.

It's connection. 💙🐰✨

Many families hear "IEP" and "504 Plan" used interchangeably, but they serve different purposes.

A 504 Plan helps ensure a student has equal access to learning through accommodations and supports within the school environment.

Understanding the difference can help families make informed decisions about their child's educational needs.💜🐰

A lot of Little Hops is happening behind the scenes right now. 💙🐰

Most people see the website, social media posts, and logo. What they don't see are the late nights, countless decisions, checklists, spreadsheets, and moments spent adjusting something for the tenth time because it just doesn't feel quite right. (My perfectionist tendencies have definitely made an appearance. 😂)

Like many providers starting a practice, I've spent a lot of time navigating the credentialing process. While that part hasn't been particularly fun, I've been surprised by how much I've genuinely enjoyed building everything else.

Creating Little Hops has reminded me just how much I've learned over the past 12+ years in the field. From clinical systems and parent support resources to websites, workflows, and community partnerships, it's been incredibly rewarding to build something that reflects my own values and vision.

The hardest part has honestly been waiting.

Waiting to become credentialed.
Waiting to begin services.
Waiting to support families who are ready for answers and help now.

But while I wait, I've been building relationships with other professionals throughout our community—speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, diagnosticians, educators, and so many others who share the same goal of supporting children and families.

Every checklist completed, every connection made, and every step forward brings Little Hops a little closer to opening its doors.

And someday, I hope one of those first families will be celebrating a milestone I care deeply about—not starting services, but reaching the point where they no longer need them. 💙🐰✨
