Welcome to The Speech Community - Start Here!
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here 🤍 I’m Sam, a speech-language pathologist with 10 years of experience, and a toddler mom. I created this space to help you feel more confident supporting your child’s communication in everyday life. Here’s how to get started: STEP 1: Introduce yourself Comment below with: – Your child’s age – Whether they’re using words yet (yes / not yet / a few) – One thing you’re concerned about I’ll reply and help point you in the right direction. STEP 2: Start simpleYou don’t need to do everything at once. Look through the posts (weekly challenges are often a good place to start) and start with ONE strategy you can try today. Small, consistent changes make the biggest difference. STEP 3: Use everyday routines You don’t need extra time or special materials. The best opportunities are already in your day: – Mealtime – Bath time – Play – Reading STEP 4: Ask questions + share winsThis is not a space to just scroll. Ask questions, share what you’re trying, and celebrate even small progress. FREE COMMUNITY Here you’ll get: – Tips and strategies – Short trainings – Support and guidance CLASSROOM MEMBERSHIP Inside the classroom, you’ll get: – Step-by-step courses (what to do + when) – Videos showing exactly how to use strategies – Routine-based guides (mealtime, bath, play, etc.) – Monthly live calls for support + Q&A If you’re feeling stuck or want a clear plan, that’s where to go deeper. Thanks for being here. 🤍 Sam Licensed SLP & Mom

Weekly Challenge: +1 Rule
This week, practice adding just one word to what your child says or communicates. The +1 rule means you take what your child already says, gestures, or communicates, and model one step above it. If your child points to milk, you say:“Milk.” If your child says “milk,” you say:“More milk.”“Cold milk.”“Milk please.” If your child says “go,” you say:“Go car.”“Go fast.”“Ready, go.” If your child says “mama,” you say:“Mama help.”“Mama up.”“Mama come.” The goal is to give them a model that is close enough to what they can already do, but slightly expanded to support learning (think Zone of Proximal Development) Try this once a day during: Snack Play Bath Getting dressed Going outside Inside the classroom, we talk more about strategies like this and how to use them during everyday routines without turning everything into a lesson.
