A huge thank you to all the families who joined in on the Halloween fun and brought so much energy to our clinic this week! We took that playful spirit straight into our therapy sessions, adding a little extra fun to the hard work these kiddos put in every day. We hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween weekend!
Our incredible therapists and staff went all out for Halloween Spirit Week! We love dressing up, but our absolute favorite part was seeing the massive smiles, giggles, and extra motivation from our amazing kiddos this week.
Help us pick a winner for our annual office-door decoration competition! There is a voting container at each door to cast your vote in-person. Or you can send us a message or comment below. We’ll announce the winner at the end of the week! 🤩
It is time for our annual Halloween spirit week! Clients and their families are invited to participate in our daily dress up themes, or wear your own costume any day of the week. We will have treats in the offices so kiddos can practice their trick-or-treating skills (we have non-food items available too!) Make sure to vote for your favorite door decoration! Participation is completely voluntary.

Sometimes, a haircut is a BIG milestone! 🩵✂️
For some kiddos, the sounds, sensations, and unpredictability of getting a haircut can feel overwhelming.
When this little one’s parents shared that haircuts were a challenge, his occupational therapist got to work!
They started with a pretend clipper, gradually worked up to using a real clipper with the cap on, and practiced at a pace that helped him build comfort and confidence.
And this week? He let his therapist actually trim his hair! 🎉
We’re so proud of his progress!
This is one of the many ways occupational therapy can help kids build skills for everyday life. Sometimes, the biggest victories are the ones that make daily routines a little easier for the whole family. 🩵

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
Sometimes, the best way to celebrate AAC Awareness Month is to let AAC do the talking! 💬🩵
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) helps kids express themselves, connect with others, and share what’s on their minds.
Whether through talking, typing, pictures, communication devices, or other tools, every child deserves a way to be heard!
Looking to get started with AAC? Talk to our staff for AAC app discount codes this month!
Happy AAC Awareness Month from all of us at SCPPT! 🩵

Thank you to everyone who supported the SCPPT’s Cooking Club bake sale! In Cooking Club kids practice using verbal words to greet others, engage in reciprocal interactions, and support one another.
This year, one child wanted to make signs. One kiddo named the bake sale “Crumple Cookies,” one made an open/closed sign, and the other announced “free cookies!” (after they had said the day before they were going to charge a million dollars!).
All proceeds were shared among participants with an instruction to get something for themself and something for someone else, the goal being to create opportunities for kiddos to participate in reciprocal interactions.
The best highlight happened a week later when one kiddo saw a picture of another and said, “Oh look! That’s my friend!” 🩵

October is AAC Awareness Month! 💬🩵
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gives people different ways to communicate, connect with others, and share their thoughts, wants, needs, and ideas.
AAC isn’t only for people who are non-speaking. It can support anyone who has difficulty communicating, whether they use AAC all the time or alongside verbal speech.
One common misconception is that AAC can hinder speech development. Research actually shows the opposite: AAC can support communication development and may even encourage verbal speech!
Every voice matters, and everyone deserves a way to be heard. 🩵
Looking for AAC resources? We have discount codes available for select AAC apps! Talk with one of our speech therapists or front desk to learn more.

The best therapy can start before a kiddo even walks through the door!
Today we caught Sarah and Ann, two of our speech therapists, building and playing to figure out which strategies and tools might work best for a particular client.
Our therapists work with each unique kiddo and think through how to make therapy work best for them, including what will engage and motive them!
Sometimes, it’s the things you don’t see that set your child up for success 🩵
