One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a young clinician came early in my career while completing an evaluation with a four-year-old nonspeaking child.

I learned firsthand that just because a child may not communicate verbally doesn’t mean they don’t understand. This little one was listening—to the positive comments, but also to the negative ones.

It was a powerful reminder to always assume that a child understands what you’re saying, even if they don’t communicate back to you.

Include them in the conversation.
Talk to them—not around them.
Speak about them with the same respect you would speak about anyone else.
And above all, presume competence.

Achild’s ability to communicate is not a measure of their ability to understand. ☀️

Friday thoughts: Sometimes kids just need to be kids. To play, get messy, be silly, explore, and learn at their own pace. We don’t have to rush every moment or turn everything into a learning opportunity. I really think there’s so much value in simply letting them play and be little. 💛☀️

Where did the time go?! What a quick summer. School looks different for every child. Here’s to a year of celebrating differences, embracing every child for who they are, and making sure everyone feels like they belong. I hope everyone has a great first day! 💛☀️

As I get ready to welcome our second little boy, I’ve been feeling especially grateful.

Stepping away from my clients, even for a little while, isn’t easy. They mean so much to me, and making sure they’re supported while I’m on maternity leave has been one of my biggest priorities.

I’m incredibly thankful for the amazing SLPs on our team and in this community who have stepped in, helped me prepare, and made this transition feel so much easier. Knowing my clients will be in such caring, capable hands gives me so much peace of mind.

This experience has reminded me how important it is to surround yourself with people who genuinely support you, celebrate you, and show up when you need them most.

To every therapist who has answered a question, offered encouragement, covered a client, or simply reminded me that it’s okay to slow down and soak in this season—thank you. I’ll never be able to express just how much it means.

I’m forever grateful for all of you. 💛

Here’s the proof… speech therapy is FUN! 🤩🥰

One of my favorite things about pediatric speech therapy is that kids don’t have to feel like they’re “working” to learn. When they’re engaged, laughing, and having fun, that’s when some of the best learning happens.

POV: Someone says, “AAC will stop a child from communicating with words.” 🙄

All I can say is… I highly disagree.

This is one of the biggest myths about AAC.

Our goal is communication. We want a child to communicate in whatever way is easiest and most effective for them. If verbal language is the easiest way for them to communicate, they will use verbal language. AAC doesn’t take that away.

Instead, AAC gives people a voice while supporting language development, reducing frustration, and creating more opportunities to connect with others. My job is to make sure that a child can communicate in whatever way possible. 💛

Children learn by watching us. They notice who we smile at. Who we invite into conversations. Who we make space for.

They hear the words we use when talking about people who communicate, learn, move, or experience the world differently.

If we want to raise children who are inclusive, accepting, and compassionate, we have to model those values every day.

We need to show them how we embrace differences instead of fearing them. We need to speak with kindness.
We need to show them how we see, value, and include others.

Want to raise an inclusive child? Don’t just tell them—show them.
