We love this idea from @slpmama_ !Such a fun, engaging way to target articulation.🗯️

Use carrier phrases to easily increase the complexity and target sounds at the phrase and sentence levels:

🗯️ “I found…”
🗯️ “I see…”
🗯️ “I have…”
🗯️ “I got…”

This activity can be adapted to target so many different speech and language goals! Try it for 👇

✨ Articulation & phonological processes
✨ Expanding utterance length
✨ Vocabulary #speechtherapy #slp #speechsounds #fyp

It may look like we’re just playing, but every game has a purpose 🦆

By following each child’s interests, I create meaningful opportunities to build communication in a way that feels natural and fun. Whether we’re working on articulation, language, pragmatics, or fluency, every activity is intentionally designed to support each child’s goals.

The best part? They usually don’t even realize they’re working. That’s the power of play-based speech-language therapy 🦆

This is a wordy post, but it’s an important one.

One of the most common misconceptions about speech-language therapy is that we’re “just playing.” But play is the therapy. While a child is engaged in something meaningful and motivating, an SLP is simultaneously modeling language, expanding communication, building interaction skills, supporting comprehension, creating opportunities to communicate, and so much more.

This post breaks down some of what is happening behind the scenes during play and why play-based therapy is such a powerful way to support development.

Swipe through to see some of the many things an SLP is doing while playing with a child and why you might never look at “just playing” the same way again. 💛

Save this one for later!

Day 2 of Little Connections Play Group 💛 Naples, FL

Another sweet morning of connection, play, language-building, and supporting social communication. I only captured clips of my own kids again to respect everyone’s privacy, but it was so special watching these little moments unfold.

Little Connections was created by a speech-language pathologist to be an intentionally small, supportive space where little ones can play, connect, build language, and grow together ✨

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, we’d love to have you at our next group 🤍

Little Connections Play Group is now running! Text or DM if you have any questions 📲 239-306-3441

Little Connections Play Group is a play-based social communication group led by a pediatric speech-language pathologist for children ages 18 months–3 years 💛

This group is designed to support early pragmatic language, play, interaction, and connection through engaging activities and peer experiences.

While this is not speech-language therapy, it can be a wonderful supplement to therapy services your child already receives or a great way to support communication growth while waiting for services.

Day one of Little Connections Play Group 💛

Today was our first intentionally small, SLP-facilitated play group which focused on connection, play, and supporting social communication through everyday interactions. I only captured a few clips during set up (mostly of my own kids to respect everyone’s privacy), but it was a special morning.

If you’re looking for a small, supportive space for your little one to play, connect, and grow, we’d love to have you join us next week ✨
