Circle City Speech

We won the jackpot with our two new Speech Therapists being Auburn Fans! War Eagle!! However, we do accept all football fans to our Circle City Speech family 😂
•••
Please help us welcome Mallory Lloyd (left) and Elizabeth Etress (right) to our team!! Be looking out for introductions for both of them coming soon!
•••

If anyone would like to donate, we would be happy to accept these items at the office and turn into City Hope!!

‼️ Urgent office needs ‼️

Over the past 8 months since we have been open we have been so blessed by everyone in our community. What a beautiful thing to see people look after orphans as the Bible commands us to.

We have also seen an increase of families who are now a part of City Hope; doing hard and holy work by opening their homes to these children in need.

With that being said our supply is getting LOW. Just last week there were 8 little children who entered care from one county alone. We serve 7 counties.
Around 50 families come through our doors each month.

That’s 50 laundry detergents and close to 100 packs of diaper/pullups and wipes in ONE MONTH.

Would you consider gathering co-workers, a group of friends, a church small group, or your family and coming together to help us get our supply back up?
1 laundry detergent or 1 pack of diapers will not last a family 1 month, but it WILL help ease the burden just a little.

We have added these items to our Amazon wish list for your convenience.
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

Tips for Handwriting Skills from OT!!
•••
Working on skills for handwriting doesn't only involve pencil and paper! Mrs. Laura loves using lowercase wooden letters as fine motor manipulatives for many reasons:
🔠 Letter recognition and identification

🔠 Correcting letter reversals

🔠 Spatial awareness and orientation

🔠 Alphabetizing and sequencing alphabetical order
•••
To understand the difference between letters that "sit on the line" or "go below the line", we carefully adjusted "g, j, p, q, y". Mastering this concept through hands-on learning will be a tremendous benefit for many students that are having difficulty with handwriting.
•••
Is your child having difficulty with letters or handwriting? Let us help! Call and get a referral sent over to us for Occupational Therapy today! We currently have openings at our Dothan and Enterprise offices!
