When your child has difficulty expressing themselves, it can be hard for not only them, but everyone involved. As a parent this can be very difficult, but there are ways to work through this challenge to make it easier for you and your child. Watch Me Shine is proud to be a part of this exciting journey in speech therapy. In order to achieve maximum results, there needs to be effort, consistency and dedication.
To help you on this adventure, Watch Me Shine recommends the following to get the most out of our therapy services.
Extend Lessons To Home
Speech therapy can dramatically improve how your child communicates, but to fully absorb all that happens during a session at Watch Me Shine, it is essential to carry the philosophies they learn with us in to their home. We call this the “wrap around” method of learning. This enables all parties to integrate what a child learns in the classroom with their home life. Your child thrives on consistency, so reinforcing what they learn during the day will help them succeed.
Listen To Specialists
We, like you, have your child’s best interests at heart. Here at Watch Me Shine, our qualified Speech & Language Pathologists are experts and have years of experience in their fields. Let us help you better understand how to help your child reach their developmental milestones.
Get Everyone Involved
There can never be too many people involved with your child’s therapy. Whether you bring everyone in the immediate family to a speech therapy session or relay the information to them at home, it’s vital that anyone who interacts with your child knows how to do so effectively. We can help you with that! Keeping family members in the know is another way to provide structure and reinforcement. This is truly a case of “the more the merrier!”.
Watch Me Shine is confident that our expert speech and language therapists can make a difference your child’s life. Remember, the more you put in the more you get out, so it’s important to be involved in your child’s therapy. For more information about therapy services we offer, please call us at (207)-990-0162.
