Searching "speech therapist near me" is easy. Knowing which one is right for your child is the harder part.

Once you've found a few options nearby, here's what's worth looking for:

✅ The right credentials. Look for someone licensed and ASHA-certified, ideally with the CCC-SLP designation. It's the baseline that tells you they're properly trained.

✅ Experience with your concern. An SLP who works often with your child's specific challenge, whether that's apraxia, a speech delay, or feeding, brings a depth that generalists may not.

✅ The right age fit. Therapy for a toddler looks nothing like therapy for a teen. Make sure they regularly work with kids your child's age.

✅ You're part of the process. The best therapists loop you in, share what's working, and give you ways to carry it home, rather than handing your kid back with a vague ""went great.""

✅ Your child feels at ease. This one's easy to overlook but matters most. Progress comes faster when a kid feels safe enough to try, not tested.

✅ A team around them. If your child ever needs OT or PT too, a practice that offers it all under one roof saves you from piecing together a care team across town.

Credentials get you in the door. But the right fit is what actually moves your child forward.

Fun Fact Friday!

One of the most common reasons families put off occupational therapy is the assumption that it won't be covered, or that it'll cost a fortune just to find out. So here's the reassuring news: OT is a recognized medical service, and it's covered by many insurance plans, often more than parents expect.

The thing to know is that coverage isn't one-size-fits-all. That's exactly why it's worth a quick check rather than an assumption, because ""I figured it wasn't covered"" keeps a lot of kids from getting help that was actually within reach.

If insurance feels like its own full-time job, you don't have to sort it out alone. We're happy to walk you through your options so cost is one less thing standing between your child and support.

Have questions about coverage? Give us a call at (970) 460-6762 or visit lhhealththerapies.com.

If your child was recently diagnosed and someone mentioned OT, you may have walked away with more questions than answers. What will they actually do? What if my kid won't cooperate?

Here's the reassuring part: good OT is built around your child, not the other way around. So let go of the image of a stiff, clinical room. What it usually looks like is your kid playing, exploring, and building skills, often without realizing that's what's happening.

Your job isn't to have it figured out. It's just to show up alongside them.

Happy Wiggle Wednesday! 🎃

For a lot of kids, Halloween is pure magic. For a sensory-sensitive kid, it can also be a sensory obstacle course: the itchy costume, the strangers, the barking dogs, the doorbell going off nonstop.

The good news is that a little prep goes a long way. Trying the costume on before the big night means you find the scratchy tag now, not at 6pm when everyone's ready to walk out the door. A pair of headphones can turn an overwhelming street into a manageable one. And giving your kid full permission to skip the spooky house takes the pressure off everybody.

The goal isn't a perfect Halloween. It's a Halloween your kid actually enjoys, at whatever pace and volume works for them.

Save this post for the big night!

Meet Marlo Trudgeon, our Co-Owner and Clinic Director. 👋

Marlo is a certified speech-language pathologist with 25 years of experience. Before helping build LightHouse WholeHealth, she ran her own successful speech practice for six years, with a waitlist that never seemed to shrink. Earlier on, she worked across children's hospital clinics, schools, and Early Intervention, the kind of range that shapes a therapist who's seen it all.

Her specialty is Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and she's recognized by the national organization Apraxia-Kids for her work diagnosing and treating it, something relatively few SLPs are.

What we love most is why she's here. Marlo wanted to be part of a team, surrounded by OTs, PTs, and mental health providers, so families could get well-rounded care all in one place. That belief is a big part of what LightHouse is built on.

Every milestone your child reaches is worth celebrating, and for kids with Down syndrome, some of those milestones take a little more time and a lot more practice to arrive.

A big reason is low muscle tone, which makes movement take extra effort. Gripping a spoon, staying steady on two feet, the things that seem automatic for some kids are hard-won for others. That's not a limit on what a child can do. It's just information about the kind of support that will help them get there.

That's what OT is built for. An occupational therapist meets your kid where they are, breaks big skills into small steps, and makes the practice feel like play. Then they cheer every gain, because each one is real, and each one adds up to a child moving through their world with a little more freedom.

If you're raising a child with Down syndrome and want to support their motor development, we'd love to help. Reach out anytime at lhhealththerapies.com

Ask most people what ADHD looks like, and they'll describe the same kid: the one who can't sit still.

So when a child is bouncing off the walls, ADHD is often the first thing that comes to mind. And when a child is calm and well-behaved, it's usually the last.

But sitting still was never the deciding factor.

Plenty of kids with ADHD are quiet and easy in a classroom. Their version shows up differently, in drifting off mid-task, losing track of homework and jackets, freezing at the start of something boring, or feeling everything at full volume. Because none of that is disruptive, it rarely gets flagged. The kid just quietly works harder to keep up.

That's why it helps to know the fuller picture.

If any of this sounds like your child, we'd love to talk. Reach out anytime at lhhealththerapies.com

The tricky thing about seasonal depression is how reasonable every excuse sounds.

You're tired because it's dark by dinnertime. You're staying in because it's cold. You're not low, you're just worn out, or busy, or ready for the year to be over. Each explanation holds up on its own, which is exactly how the bigger pattern slips by for weeks.

But Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real, recognized form of depression. It tends to follow the light, rolling in as the days shorten and lifting as they stretch back out. And like other forms of depression, it responds well to support, especially when you reach out before you're in the thick of it. Talking to someone now can make the darker months a lot more manageable.

If the shorter days tend to weigh on you, our team is here. Reach us at lhhealththerapies.com
