Did you know that a rainbow infinity symbol is used to represent neurodivergence? 🌈♾️

I recently stumbled upon Calm Strips and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a discrete sensory tool to use in everyday activities! I currently have two strips placed on my ‘AAC’ iPad to remind my friends and myself to breathe.

This is why moms are no longer listening to the advice to ‘just wait and see’ when their toddler is late to talk or not saying words. 📲 Comment ‘5STEPS’ & get my free class to help your toddler say more words!⁠ After helping thousands of toddlers meet their speech & language milestones as a speech therapist... I’ve noticed a few trends... Parents are getting advice that doesn’t sit right with me. 🤔 They are told to just “wait and see” and to try “reading more books” But waiting can make it harder to catch up. The truth is, the sooner a child gets support the better. Because it’s not about just talking all day to your toddler… It’s about being intentional with what we say and focusing on the right things. During the first 3 years, there are specific strategies that parents can be using... but just don’t know about! That’s why I started teaching parents what to do... After using my ‘at-home’ strategies, most parents report: “losing count of how many words their toddler says” 🥹🎉 Parents just need the right tools for their child to thrive. Every parent deserves peace of mind knowing they are doing “all the right things” to help their toddler thrive. 💪 Get the tools you need to grow their vocabulary as quickly as possible from home.

Egg Hunts are one of the best things about Easter!

Have you started to practice with your little one at home ? If not, start now! For some kids, an Easter egg hunt can be a challenging experience if it is conducted within a large group. Depending upon the hunt, your child may fall within a certain age group when it comes to collecting eggs or be assigned a certain number/color of eggs to find during the Easter egg hunt.

Practice at home: Home practice is a good way to allow your child to get used to the concept of an egg hunt. Hide a certain number of eggs around the house and see if your child is able to find them. Point to missed eggs or lead your child towards the direction of a 'hidden' egg as needed.

Use clear and Simple Directions: Use simple words, phrases, or short sentences to aid in finding eggs and placing them in the basket (ex: "Look, egg!" while pointing to an egg or modeling "Put in" when placing an egg in the basket)

Use Visuals: If participating at home, use pictures to show the location of hidden eggs to improve hunting. If you are participating in a larger hunt with focus on a certain color per age group, hold on to an egg previously placed in the basket to assist in color matching.

Countdown: If your child is limited to a certain number of eggs, count down the number of eggs that need to be collected ("We need five more eggs"/"We need one more egg then all done").

Encourage Peer Interaction: Encourage peer interaction by organizing the egg hunt with other children. This provides opportunities for social interaction and language practice in a supportive environment.

Praise and Encouragement: Offer praise and encouragement throughout the egg hunt to motivate children and build their confidence. Positive reinforcement reinforces their efforts and makes the activity more enjoyable.

Happy hunting!
