Speech-N-Motion

CHECK OUT EVERYTHING WE DO⬇️...
Our scope of practice is HUGE- which is what makes it so amazing! Don't forget to take a moment this month to thank a speech-language pathologist that you know.
Speech-language pathologists treat the following communication disorders:
language delays/disorders, articulation, stuttering, feeding/swallowing disorders, oral motor delays/disorders, voice disorders, social pragmatic disorders, reading impairments, and the list goes on!

👯‍♂️PEER MODELS 👯‍♂️...
We love using peer models in therapy! Not only does it give us insight about how a child interacts with their peers, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for a child to learn from someone their own age.
During spring break, lots of families have been bringing siblings to speech therapy as well. We talk a lot about parent coaching, but siblings can be coached too (depending on their age of course!). You'd be surprised how much more engaged a child gets with an activity when a sibling is in the room too😮
How's spring break going for everyone?! Have a great weekend!!☺️

We hate being the bearer of bad news...🥺😭
But it's happened before... a family changes their insurance policy and they find out that what they thought was a great plan, actually left them paying out of pocket for their child's speech therapy!🤯😤
We've had this happen all too often, so we are sending out a public service announcement:🔈CONFIRM🔈YOUR🔈INSURANCE🔈BENEFITS🔈
We hope that this helps aid our families in starting the next year off on a positive note. For reference, our website lists the insurance companies we are currently in-network with. And of course, you can always contact us if you have any questions. Thanks and have a lovely day!

☯️EMOTIONAL REGULATION☯️...
Emotional regulation is the ability to exert control over one's emotional state. According to the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA), emotional regulation is one of the key components needed to support social communication.
Lately we've been talking about how our brains have an "upstairs" and a "downstairs". And by learning more about our brain, we can better understand how to regulate it. Special thanks to , as well as authors of the fabulous book for inspiring us to re-think how to teach self-regulation skills to our kids.
