“Carolyn has made great strides in speech. I have been seeing her for a few months. We\u2019re working on expanding sentence length \u2013 to do this, it really works to engage Carolyn in tasks that challenge her cognitively, as her receptive language is very strong. Carolyn loves a good challenge! We work on \u201clanguage puzzles\u201d such as identifying or labeling the category of an item. She\u2019ll sit for a bit to think about the answer and then respond with 3-5 word sentences. This works so well not only to get her to think, but also to use longer sentences! We\u2019re also working on social-emotional tasks such as identifying and labeling emotions, taking turns and clearly requesting for help so Carolyn can communicate her wants\/needs more clearly. Recently, we were blowing bubbles as a break. Carolyn was having trouble blowing a bubble, and while in the past this may have caused her to become frustrated, she independently and calmly took my hand and placed the bubble wand in it and said \u201cSab\u2019s turn\u201d as a way of requesting for me to blow the bubble. It was so sweet and such huge progress in our sessions. She didn\u2019t need any redirection in what otherwise may have been a moment of outburst or frustration. Carolyn is truly so much fun to work with!” Sabrina, Speech Pathologist <\/p>\n\n\n

When we asked Carolyn’s parents to share what Carolyn being in the Amina Grace Speech and Language Program has done for Carolyn they shared, \u201cWe can\u2019t say enough about Sabrina and the impact she\u2019s had on Carolyn through their 1:1 weekly speech sessions\u00a0at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse. Carolyn now greets me when I walk in the door after work and she has full conversations, back and forth with her dolls. At school\u00a0they are relaying more and more she is using 3-4 words when communicating and jut\u00a0recently, they reported that Carolyn\u00a0on her own, answered a question in\u00a0her morning group that includes all the other kids! Carolyn and Sabrina have a really nice\u00a0bond; Carolyn asks to go to GiGi\u2019s Playhouse\u00a0several times throughout\u00a0the week! \ud83d\ude42 We couldn\u2019t be more grateful!\u201d – Dominic & Theresa Calderisi\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
