One of the things I value most about the way I provide speech therapy is that parents are part of the process. π
Our weekly sessions can accomplish a lot - but your child is communicating all week long. Thatβs why I want parents to understand what weβre working on, what strategies are helping, and how to carry those skills into everyday life.
That might mean showing you how to cue a tricky speech sound, giving you a few words to practice during the week, talking through ways to encourage more language during play, or finding simple opportunities to work on a skill during routines youβre already doing.
And when I see your child at daycare, that doesnβt mean youβre out of the loop. I provide updates, and parents are always welcome to text me with questions, share what theyβre noticing at home, or send me those exciting βGuess what they just said!β messages π
The goal is to make it easy to support your child outside of therapy, without adding another thing to your to-do list. Small changes during everyday routines can give kids so many more opportunities to practice their skills.
