Great Gifts for Children for Any Occasion,
Curated by Speech Therapists
November 24, 2023
You may be stuck wondering what to gift your child, your friend’s child, your niece/nephew… It’s so difficult to determine what toy is right for a child while considering education, development and while keeping up with the modern trends...
Benefits of Private Pay
You may think that private-pay speech therapy services are out of the question for you but did you know...
Private pay can be advantageous to you!
⭐️ Private-pay sessions are reimbursable by your insurance when we provide you with a superbill.
⭐️ No waiting time to receive a referral. You can self-refer to us and immediately schedule an evaluation without waiting on a doctor's appointment and approvals.
⭐️ You have the ability to select your clinic rather than being assigned one.
⭐️ No limits on the types of needs we can treat.
⭐️ No limits on how may sessions are covered, and no lapse in services for waiting on a new authorization.
⭐️ Less strict qualification requirements, making it easier to receive services.
Pros to Going Virtual
Which means your child may be missing out on their speech sessions or you’ve noticed difficulties with their communication and want advice! There are so many reasons to seek speech therapy and virtual may be the perfect fit.
We can schedule around camp, swimming, travel and parties while using digital engagement in therapy.
And you can forget about traffic and rushing!
This is your chance to be involved in your child’s therapy, in their natural environment where you are most comfortable and at your convenience.
Avoid the heat outdoors and schedule via message or email with us! 🥵 ☀️

Raising Bilingual Children
You are doing great. 👍🏽 Raising a bilingual child is no easy feat. But it's significant for family, culture, brain development and necessity. 🧠 Bilingualism is flexible. Let's take away the stress and focus on just two ideas; exposure of the minority language (second language) and consistency.
Exposure to a second language is fun, creative, community and everything in-between. Don't limit your child to the many ways of seeking language learning. 📚
Consistency is foundational but not concrete. Yes, you should focus on a method but if it's not working for your family, change it and move forward.👏🏽
Most importantly, there is NO perfect way. Do your best and that's all your child will ever need. 💜
How to be an Ally in the Clinical Setting
As clinicians it’s important to understand your clients. Period.
More importantly, as humans, we need to open our eyes to the racial, gender and neuro-diversity of the community we serve.
We know that according to autism research a higher percentage of neurodivergent people identify as queer. We must understand our queer clients.
What does that look like in our therapy?
We make sure to use gender neutral language on intake forms, ask about our clients pronouns, follow current events and check in with our clients. And WHEN we mess up, we apologize, fix ourselves and keep trying!
We must read, speak up and support ALL of our clients!
