Can you believe it's been a whole year already? πŸŽ‰

This week we're celebrating Emily and Leah's first year at Thrive!

Over the last 12 months they've supported so many children and families, embraced new challenges, shared plenty of laughs, and become an invaluable part of our team.

We're so lucky to have you both. Thank you for everything you do, and congratulations on your first Thrive workiversary! πŸ₯³

Who knew a car wash could do so much? πŸš—πŸ’¦

Beth has had a great time in sessions this week using a 'car wash' activity to support different communication goals.

This playful activity can be adapted to support:
πŸ—£οΈ Language modelling for analytical and Gestalt Language Processors
πŸ”‘ Key vocabulary (wash, clean, wet, splash)
πŸƒ Verbs and action words
πŸ“ Concepts like big/small and dirty/clean
πŸ’¬ Sentence building
🀝 Turn taking
πŸ‘‚Following instructions

The same activity can look very different for every child, because therapy is always tailored to their individual strengths, interests and communication profile. One activity. Endless opportunities for communication. πŸ’™

πŸ“Έ We finally remembered to take a team photo! 🐝

A new academic year is underway, and it was lovely to get the whole Thrive team together on Wednesday to connect, collaborate and prepare for the year ahead.

We're feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to support children, families and schools with their communication journeys. πŸ’™

πŸ’™ We're back and ready for a new school year! πŸŽ‰

The Thrive Communication Therapy team is looking forward to supporting schools, children, and families throughout the year ahead. From classroom support and assessments, to therapy sessions and training, we're excited to continue helping children develop the communication skills they need to thrive. 🐝

We can't wait to reconnect with familiar faces and meet lots of new ones this term.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead! πŸ’¬πŸŒŸ

"What do you need right now?" πŸ€”

Before we can answer that question, we need to notice the signals our body is giving us. This is called interoception.

Interoception is our ability to notice signals like hunger, thirst, tiredness, or big feelings. When we can recognise these signals, we're better able to communicate our needs, emotions, and experiences to others. 🍏πŸ₯€β˜€β„

For some children, noticing and interpreting these signals can be tricky. This can make it harder to communicate needs, understand emotions, or explain how they're feeling.

When children develop awareness of their internal body signals, they can be better supported to communicate their needs, emotions, and wellbeing. πŸ’š

The best learning often happens when children don't realise they're working hard! β˜€οΈ

Outdoor play provides endless opportunities to practise speech and language targets naturally, from describing what they can see, retelling stories of the day, playing instruction games, and learning new words.

Sunshine, play, and progress all in one! πŸŒ»πŸ’¬βœ¨

And just like that.. it's the summer holidays! β˜€οΈ

A huge thank you to all the families, schools and settings we've worked with this year. It's been a busy one!

We're really looking forward to supporting more children and young people over the summer break and getting organised for the new school year. Over the holidays our team will be taking some well-earned time to switch off, recharge and enjoy the summer with their own families. πŸ’›

Have a fantastic summer whatever you've got planned 🌈 🍦
