Happy Friday! 💙 We are getting messy in First Steps today! Messy play is so important! Messy play fosters creativity and imagination, encourages language and communication skills, practices concentration, and promotes physical development. Let’s get messy this weekend!
Executive function refers to skills that help us focus, plan, prioritize, work toward goals, self-regulate behaviors and emotions, adapt to new and unexpected situations, and ultimately engage in abstract thinking and planning. These skills are so important to develop in children in order to help them become successful adults, and they are often targeted in our therapy sessions.
Check out this website for more information on executive functioning skills, including age-based developmental expectations:

Does your school-aged child struggle with executive functioning? Speech and/or occupational therapy may be able to help! Ask your child’s therapist or give us a call today to learn more!

Christmas in…August? Santa made an early appearance in speech therapy last week! We used a magnetic Build-a-Face set to practice following multi-step directions as well as grouping objects together by category. We also practiced answering WH questions to describe "who" completes different tasks in the community using the characters we created!

Reading books can have countless benefits for your child. However, if your child has a speech or language delay, repetitive books can be particularly useful! Repetitive books are predictable, and allow the child to focus on production of words rather than comprehension. Start by reading the book to get your child familiar with the book. When re-reading, pause to allow your child to "fill in" the last word of a repetitive phrase. If they don’t initially respond, provide a model and encourage them to read "with" you!
Check out this blog post for more information on repetitive books:

Lane graduated from First Steps speech therapy last week! He is pictured here with his SLP, Hannah. Lane is now communicating his wants and ideas with sentences, participating in conversation, and is intelligible to familiar and unfamiliar listeners! Way to go, Lane!
