I’m a major purger so diving into the concept of “less is more” on the @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod podcast was right up my alley!

We covered a lot of ground:
👉 we shared our top 3 therapy must-haves
👉 my “rules” before buying a new toy
👉 the best book I’ve read so far this year that has changed the way I think about everything - therapy materials, personal goals, how I spend my time…

Deb and I learned we both don’t love the target dollar spot 🙊 and have very different therapy styles/material preferences!

Let me know if you listen!

Did you see that I shared my favorite books for 0-2 year olds in my stories today? I mentioned the literacy skill of page-turning and got some messages regarding it! Are you aware of early literacy skills in those as young as 12 months old? 📖

1-2 year olds:
• recognize certain books by their covers
• like to turn pages and attends to a book for two minutes
• label pictures independently and pretends to read books

These literacy development pages are included in the “Speech-Language Development Handouts”

As requested, I’ll share my favorite toddler books in stories tomorrow!

Can’t wait? Find a list of some favorite books here: https://amzn.to/3yW72LO

I couldn’t let Better Hearing and Speech Month end without sharing this again. This was my first image created in my free “SLP Handouts”...you can download it there and start educating. 🤓
Now if only there was an easy way to explain alllll the aspects of speech-language pathology! 👄🦻🏻🧠

What can we expect from toddler attention span? ⏰ It’s easy to over-expect the amount of time a child can sit and attend to a structured activity. Do these numbers surprise you or are they what you’d expect?
Note: Don’t forget to use developmental age.
