SF Speech for Kids

Join me October 8th at 6pm for a short course on how to support your preschooler's speech and language development at home, boost pre-reading skills, and track whether they might need some extra speech support. I'm looking forward to a great discussion with Plinkit founder Charmaine Pattinson and having a chance to answer some of your big questions in the Q&A!

Terrible air day in SF due to wildfires in all directions = great day to pull out one of my favorite books! I love using Sky Color by Peter H. Reynolds to teach kids about being flexible and challenging their assumptions. You can find a digital version on Epic www.getepic.com

Great OT tips for distance learning!

At SF Speech for Kids! we LOVE ABCya for teletherapy games and activities. Just stumbled upon this adorable "make a mask" game. Each step in the activity has a little message like "A mask is a way for us to show we care about our community!" https://www.abcya.com/games/make-a-mask/

Happy first day of school, San Francisco! Wishing our kiddos a GREAT first day of distance learning! We know this year will be memorable, challenging at times, a new adventure, and an exercise in flexibility. We see you, parents. We see you, teachers. We see you students! Sending lots of love and best wishes!!!
