In this episode, we learn about speech therapy methods with speech-language pathologist Kevin Simmons, the Singing SLP.
Specializing in working with children with disabilities, Kevin shares his unique approach that combines play-based therapy, music therapy, and interactive techniques to help children have a great speech therapy experience.
We talk about:
- Play-Based Speech Therapy: He shares about how incorporating games, toys, and imaginative play can engage children with speech delays, making therapy fun and effective.
- Music as a Therapy Tool: He talks about how rhythm, singing, and musical instruments can stimulate speech and language development, particularly in children with autism and other developmental disabilities.
- Sensory Haircuts: He shares about why he gives some of his clients haircuts and gives some tips for parents if their child has a difficult time in the barber chair.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, speech therapist, or educator, this episode is packed with practical advice to support children with disabilities on their communication journey.
