Fabulous Family Fun #2

Fabulous Family Fun

Are You Wondering…

what you can do at home to help your child?

We are glad you asked!

Our children have the opportunity to expand their communication skills (speech, language, literacy, learning, and social skills) daily through their interactions with peers and adults in their lives.

With or without a specific Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) challenge or need, our children can benefit from their every day interactions.

No Parent Needs More Homework

Early in her Speech-Language Pathology career, our Director, Lori Savage Grayson, learned an important lesson from a parent.

While offering a parent ideas for a home program, the parent asked a then very new Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), “Do you have children? Do you have a secret for fitting these extra assignments into our daily schedule?

It was that moment, that the new SLP realized the best avenue for helping parents was to learn more about EACH family’s routines. To brain-storm with the parent/s and customize the home program. By sharing activities that fit into EACH family’s daily living schedule, families were more more likely to be successful.

Now, 40 years later, Ms. Grayson proudly continues this practice by showing parents how to tweak their interactions and enhance their child’s skills, infants through young adults.

Clearly, no parent or family needs another assignment or homework, but each of us can learn to be a more effective and efficient communicator no matter one’s age!

Celebrating 25 Years!

This year our Center began our 25th year celebration during May for Better Hearing & Speech Month.

Now, we invite you to join our celebration with 25+ Fabulous Family Fun activities!

Each activity naturally encourages aspects of speech, language, literacy, learning, communication and social skill development!

Show & Tell

Our Show & Tell program for children and parents allows families to enjoy learning natural gestures, sign language, play skills and social interaction!
