It has been a busy week here! I was able to squeeze in a little Valentine’s Freebie though! I made this Conversation Heart Math Game. Ok, ok….you are probably thinking “Um…aren’t you a SPEECH therapist? Why are you making a MATH game?” Well I have used a couple different variations of games in my therapy […]
Top Toys & How They Can Support Speech & Language Development (Part One)
I have been working with children in a professional capacity for nearly 20 years and have had the pleasure of working with children of all abilities in a wide variety of settings (preschools, elementary schools, middle and high schools, child care programs, recreation programs, homes, etc.) My professional experience paired with my role as a […]
What is Language?
Last week I posted about the difference between speech and language. I wanted to go ahead and go into a little more detail about what language is. What is Language?

The Importance of Pointing
I feel like Everett, with the exception of walking, has hit every developmental milestone earlier than his older sister. He sat up, crawled and spoke his first word earlier than she did.
