Happy SLP day to all of our SLPs out there!
For our team, being an SLP means supporting home languages, communication with the community, and building communication across contexts.
It means we show up every day ready to give empathy, support, and love to each and every child that walks through our door
and it means recognizing all forms of communication!

USE IT OR LOSE IT!
Have you ever been so excited to get new materials and then they ended up collecting dust in the materials closet??
Our #spanish #apraxia cards have such rich, varied vocabulary that it’s easy to expand them across clients and for different goals. I love this activity for elementary students who are working on phonological awareness, describing emotions, inferencing, and narratives! Not too mention a great way to practice multi-syllabic words in isolation before immediately moving to a functional, generalizable activity!!!

Can I tell you a secret?
Treatment evolves constantly – and it should be if your individualizing intervention to the child! Especially with my young children, I may have a general idea of what targets I’d like to work on, but the prompts/drill vs play/context/targets are flexible depending on the needs of the child that session. And while I may have periods that closely follow a particular approach, I’m open to shifting as the child’s needs change!
I build on what is present in their inventory, and push slightly outside of that, but I’m not afraid to try out a harder/longer word if I know it is something motivating and meaningful to the child.
What are some considerations you have when working with a child with CAS?

Wanted to shout out Texas Autism Society. I had the privilege of sitting in on a Spanish caregiver support group. This is a standing weekly time for Spanish-speaking caregivers to virtually connect with each other, ask questions, share resources, and vent.
Many families of children with developmental differences report feeling isolated and overwhelmed. This is an informal meet-up time (drop in, no set agenda) and the moderators are amazing guides that allow space for discussion as well as providing advice. The one I sat in, families were checking on their phones, zooming in from the kitchen and the living room. Loved this way to share and connect in Spanish. and it's FREE.
Check the link in our bio to see a calendar of events for both this group and the many different parent and peer groups available!
