🗣️ Happy National Speech-Language Pathology Day! 💙

Today we’re celebrating the amazing work SLPs do every day! Helping little voices grow, building confidence, creating connections, and making communication possible in so many ways ✨

✨ Milestone Monday ✨

Big communication skills start with small, meaningful interactions 💬💛

In speech therapy, moments like these help children build foundational language skills through play-based learning and connection. During activities like this, we may target:

🗣️ Expressive language –> using words to request, label, and comment
👂 Receptive language –> understanding directions and concepts
🤝 Social communication –> turn-taking, joint attention, and engagement
🧠 Cognitive skills –> problem-solving, attention, and following routines

Every shared smile, gesture, and word is a step toward stronger communication and greater confidence 🌟

💙 Meet Our Directors! 💚

At Children In Motion, we’re proud to be led by two incredible clinicians who are passionate about helping children grow, learn, and thrive. 💙

👩‍⚕️ Katherine, our Occupational Therapy Director, brings over 25 years of experience supporting children across a variety of settings. With her expertise in sensory integration, motor development, and independence skills, she is dedicated to helping every child reach their fullest potential.

🗣 Miyuki, our Speech-Language Therapy Director, is a bilingual SLP with extensive experience in early intervention, school-based services, and beyond. Her passion for communication and individualized care helps children build confidence and find their voice.

Together, they lead our team with knowledge, compassion, and a shared commitment to providing the highest quality care for every child and family we serve. ✨

We are so grateful for their leadership! 🙌
