You are an essential part of the team. Your active participation in sessions is so important to communication development.
Ever wonder what a speech therapy session is like? Here's a sneak peek:
Celebration Time. if there are any new developments (e.g., new skills/words) over the past week we take time to share these wins together.
Identify Growth Points. Communication frustrations or behaviors can escalate quickly for small children. Therapy sessions are a time to talk through these areas. Your therapist will give you tools to address them as they come up.
Modeling Time. Your therapist can demonstrate how to engage your child in new ways throughout the week. We strive to use your typical routines at home using items you already own.
Be the Leader. You will be given opportunities to take the lead while being coached by your speech therapist. Building confidence while using strategies is key to growing your child's communication skills.
Make a Plan. By taking what was discussed and demonstrated during the therapy session, you and the therapist create a plan for things to try in the upcoming week.
We believe you are your child's favorite playmate and biggest supporter. We are here to cheer you on.
