Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Our Stepping Stones clinics are closed today for the 4th of July ! We will resume all services on July 5th! We hope you enjoy a safe and fun holiday!

Welcome to July everyone!☀️🍉

A new month means a new newsletter made by one of our wonderful FRCs here, Kaely. This newsletter includes community events and programs your family can get involved in. Don’t miss out on summer fun, all month long!

Play is serious work in speech therapy!

Through games, laughter, and creativity, we unlock the power of communication and build lifelong skills! 🗣️🗯️🧩

Coming soon!!! Our wonderful Family Resource Coordinators are looking to host another round of Circle of Security Parenting Courses starting in August. This course will be specifically for parents of children birth to three years of age. If you have questions or would like to sign up for the class, speak with your child’s therapist or Family Resource Coordinator! The class will require an 8-week commitment but child care is provided!

Congratulations to our friend Beckett for his growth and hard work in both OT and PT! He has brought our Stepping Stones family lots of smiles and joy. We are very thankful to be apart of his journey and can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next! 🎉

Each week we like to have a recipe available for our kids to help make- this week’s recipe is all about fun and exploration!🫐🥞🥤Meal prep is the perfect way to introduce kids to new foods in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Let them join in the kitchen adventures and build trust with new foods one recipe at a time!

Speech therapy is a colorful adventure at SSPT! We believe that play is the key to unlocking communication skills. 🖍️

May is all about celebrating Better Hearing and Speech, and we want to take a moment to appreciate our incredible speech therapy team—our dedicated professionals who make words bloom and confidence soar! They are the heart and soul of progress, working with empathy and expertise. Our speech therapists give not just words but also hope, patience, and smiles. 💖 Let's surround them with our words of thanks-share your kudos, experiences, or send a high-five below and let these selfless speechies know how much they mean to us 💙❤️

Today we are celebrating our dynamic duo, Sam and Krista, on National Teacher Day🍎! These two amazing teachers lead our weekly Toddler Groups where our 2-year-olds get to practice their social and play skills. Here’s to the magic-makers teaching our little ones with endless patience, laughter, and love! 🎉 # SSPT

MAY the fun be with you! Check out our May newsletter with local resources and inclusive activities to ensure your family's May is filled with laughter and joy.

Happy Admin Day to our amazing team members Johnie, Olivia, Ashley, Jen, Brittany, and Danielle!

You guys are the true MVPs of the clinic - the ones who keep everything running smoothly and prevent the rest of us from falling into a pit of chaos. Whether it’s organizing our schedules, keeping track of important documents, or just making sure we don’t run out of SPIOs (a true tragedy), you guys are always on top of it.
Johnie, your impeccable attention to detail, big heart, and organization skills are seriously impressive. Olivia, your positive attitude and ability to handle any task thrown your way is truly admirable. Ashley, your quick thinking and problem-solving abilities save us on a daily basis. Jen, your amazing multitasking skills and ability to juggle a million things at once never fail to amaze us. Brittany, your sense of humor and willingness to go above and beyond never goes unnoticed. And Danielle, your technical savvy and willingness to help out in any way possible is invaluable to our team.

We couldn’t do it without you guys, and we are so grateful for everything you do. So here’s to you - the heart and soul of SSPT Thank you for being awesome. Happy Admin Day! 🎉

Today we're creating finger paint rain clouds that not only brighten our day but remind us how important messy play is! Not only does this craft let our little artists express their boundless creativity, but it's also a sneaky way to help them get comfy with life's little messes - from adventurous eating to mastering self-care skills.

April's FRC Newsletter is here! Discover fun activities for kids, learn sign language through songs, and access local resources including energy assistance programs in Spokane!

Cleaning around the house can be fun and a great heavy work exercise for kids. Heavy work or proprioceptive input is a great way for kids to become regulated and have a better idea of where their body is in space.

Try it out by having your child push or pull during cleaning activities. A great example is pulling laundry from the washer or dryer, and pushing a vacuum!

CONGRATS! ✨ This hard-working kiddo GRADUATED this week! So proud of you, Trevor!
